Recovery

This past week I got hit with some sort of annoying flu, I seriously doubt that it was pig related.

In the meantime though, I got to play a bit of Dark Sector (im a bit behind). I was originally interested in this game because i thought the glaive would mix things up a bit and prevent this one from being a bit too generic, and to a point it does, but my problem with this game is that while the glaive does feel good and works nicely, everything else in the game feels clumsy and awkward.

That said, it was three play sessions before it went back in the mail to Gamefly.

On Friday I got a chance to play around with the demo for the mildly maligned game based on the highly maligned Wolverine movie. This game really is God of War, starring Wolverine, which runs the risk (like Ninja Blade) of just being a pale immitation of an established game, but Raven keeps things fresh via some incredibly visceral combat and unapologetic gore. I picked the game up today, and am looking forward to quite a few hours of cutting dudes up.

One last thing, I downloaded the new Power Up pack for Street Fighter 4, which adds a sort of open bracket tournament system to the online play. So far, my experience has been vastly superior to the old ranked match system, great job Capcom!
