Itemization

I realize it's been ages since I posted anything, but here's the last few months of my life in gaming form:


GTA4: I can watch Bas Rutten on TV in the game I'm watching on my TV!

Kenzan: Note to self: Don't try to play import action/adventure titles with RPG overtones and massive amounts of dialogue.

Wrath of the Lich King Alpha/Beta: What can I say? Blizzard doing more of what Blizzard does best.

Space Invaders Extreme: Space Invaders trying very hard to be Lumines. Tons of fun, but lacks longevity.

Geometry Wars 2: This game is liquid crack for people who grew up playing games in arcades as children. Through cunning use of leaderboards, Bizarre has figured out how to trigger that "itch" to play just "one more game"

Bionic Commando Rearmed: Owch, i forgot how hard old school games were.

Jean D'Arc: Still not done killing the English.

Soul Calibur 4: Wow, just, Wow. The Hori fighting stick is like a vicious animal that I let out of it's cage to tear my online enemies asunder!

Phantasy Star Portable: Wow, they actually made Phantasty Star Universe fun!

Too Human: "Tap, tap" is the new "click, click." I sank an unconscionable number of hours into this flawed gem.

Civilization 4: Nuking Mongolia has never been so much fun! How the fuck did I go my whole life without playing Civ?

Lego Indiana Jones: It's like Lego Star Wars, only without The Force or Lightsabers, but yet I still enjoy it.

Infinite Undiscovery: Umm, I thought I was in the mood for a JRPG, I was mistaken.

Castle Crashers: Classic Capcom/Konmi style beat-em-ups are back again, and as fun as they ever were!

Warhammer Online: WAR is the lovechild of WoW and DAoC, RvR with all of the niceties you expect from a modern MMO

The Force Unleashed: People like to complain because this game isn't anything at all like Jedi Knight. They should be complaining that it's not as good as God of War, since the Apprentice is trying oh, so hard to be Kratos.

Rock Band 2: It's Rock Band, only this time without completely ignoring people who like to play solo!


…and there we are, all caught up!
