Wow


I feel like the worst blogger in the entire world. A lot of crap has hit the fan recently; between work, school, and other obligations I have been utterly useless. Well, I beat Dead Space 2 and Homefront and had a StarCraft 2 super phase going on for a while. Dead Space 2: Five Freaking Stars out of five. Homefront: Five Freaking Stars out of five. Dead Space 2 was a nearly perfect game for me. The only complaint I actually have is that there was no really big bosses like there was in the first game. Everything else (sound, visuals, story, characters, gameplay) was perfect. Homefront was one of the best Fps's I have played in a long time. The story was dark and realistic and the fake war really hit home. The reason Homefront was so fantastic for me was the story. I play games to have fun and to hear an awesome story, so Homefront was a home-run for me. It had some glitch-tastic moments sometimes, but it was worth it. The Call of Duty controls were unfortunate, but I'll live.
This brings me to a point I really need to discuss. I was not bothered by the short length of Homefront or Dead Space: Extraction. The story was told and when the story needed to end it ended. If every game in the universe decided to be super short and dumb, I'd pop a cap, however these two games were okay for me. I like to relive the stories of these games and a few others ( Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Video Game, Uncharted 2...), but other games itsy bitsy lengths piss me off. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Force Unleashed 2... Those are just lazy, and no I will not play your multiplayer Modern Warfare 2. It is broken.
So, in conclusion, I apologize for being busy. Thank you for reading and I will try harder to write for you. I have a few more ideas already ;)
