Well I was wrong, the person I thought did it actually didn’t… which is odd as I usually get these kind of things right.  Must mean the game did a good job of keeping it hidden until it was time to reveal the killer.

I have never been a huge fan of action adventure games like this, and I thought I would struggle with the many quicktime events due to not being familiar with the PS3 pad however I did enjoy the game and it actually helped me to get used to the button placements… this should help when I start back on God of War!

It’s a bit hard to talk about Heavy Rain without spoiling the story, so I won’t really but I will say that apart from some slightly iffy voices this game is a very well rounded adventure game that always keeps moving.  Some of the scenes you play through are incredibly well done and had my girlfriend watching me play which doesn’t happen with many games… I think she was shocked that I was playing a game that didn’t involve shooting people/aliens/animals in the face J

What I will say though is I got an ending I liked, got the girl, saved my kid and got the killer… not bad if I do say so myself. It’s tempting to go back and try and see other outcomes but I have so many other games to play that I just don’t have the time sadly.

Heavy Rain is a great game if you fancy taking a break from shooting things in the face.

Great advert for the upcoming Blur.

After 2 years I have finally gone back to playing Mass Effect on the 360 so that I can finish it and try out the sequel.  Maybe I am just rubbish at it but I seem to die like all the time?!  Oh well, I will stick at it as I do like the game. Much swearing will be happening that’s for sure!

I picked up the God of War collection for the PS3 at the weekend, the re-release of the PS2 classics God of War 1 and 2 for the PS3 is a must play for me before I move onto God of War 3 as I have never played them. However I will probably leave these until I move house and am without Internet for a few weeks.

2 weeks until moving week commences….. I should really start packing!

No release date yet but due in 2010… I will have one happy 6 year old! Although even I am really excited about this!

Well in most cases anyway, but Bioshock 2 sadly fits into this category.  Now I loved the first game, I thought it had great atmosphere and a great little story with a good twist. I was worried that a second game wouldn’t be able to recreate the same package and it seems like I was correct.

First off you are now a Big Daddy, sounds cool right? Well it should be except you feel about as strong as a wet paper bag… I got around this by pretending I was a frail human being again, which worked for the most part until the story kept reminding me I was a Big Daddy.. Grrr.

I played the first Bioshock on the PC, so maybe the atmosphere was better through headphones but the 360 version seemed to lack any really… but again this could be a failing of using a TV’s speakers.  I am sure the areas in the second game are smaller though but I could just be imagining it to find more problems… so onto the things I actually liked…

ermmm…

See this is the problem, I love the setting and I like the actual gameplay but a game like this lives on its story and atmosphere and the sequel just didn’t delivery this for me so it was a bit of a struggle to want to playthrough and finish. Maybe I will pick it up when it is mega cheap on PC on Steam one day and try again on PC, who knows.

Don’t get me wrong Bioshock 2 is an ‘OK’ game, just not as good as the first one in my opinion.  Onto the next game I go…

I quite enjoyed Crysis, it will be interesting to see how the second game holds up.

My experience with this series was a mixed one, the first game had a few too many annoyances but I was hopeful the sequel would have sorted these and how right I was… this game is amazing. A bold statement maybe, yes the game is a little annoying in places but those moments are vastly over shadowed by the amazing amount of work that has gone into this game.

The game looks great, by far the best looking game I have played on the PS3 to date and probably the 360 as well.  Uncharted 2 has all the cinematic finesses of a Hollywood blockbuster with voice and music scores just adding to this feeling.  Gun fights in collapsing buildings, fights on rooftops while avoiding an attack helicopter, and the quite frankly amazing train fight make this one of the best games I have ever played.

The platform sections can sometimes annoy (usual platform problems of missing jumps etc..), and some of the gun fights can go on a little too long (never thought I would say that) but these issues are always forgotten about as the next ‘wow’ moment is never far away.

If you own a PS3 and haven’t played this game, go get it as you won’t be disappointed… who am I kidding… you will have by now.

Roll on Uncharted 3!

Yes it is referring to console commands I know, but it applies to PC as well.  The spotting key is Q on the PC, use it people!

This week has had the following…

A well run team of Medic and an Assault (hi CrazyHippo) happily taking on a whole enemy team and winning, alot. These games of stompage also revealed my Medic is able to absorb an insane amount of damage! Me also finding out that Robotics are a fun class to play when played right.

Getting all my gear in order and loaded into my carrier in Eve Online so I can finally jump over to where my new corp is so I can get involved once again in playing Eve properly.

Realising that Uncharted 2 is one of the best made games I have played so far, I am looking forward to completing this!

Realising that playing a video game character in Ghostbusters the game might not be as fun as being a real Ghostbuster, but its close enough for now!

Hopefully this weekend I can pick up a copy of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and enjoy some good old fashioned kart racing on the 360 with the kids, watching them fight over being Sonic should be fun…

It is going to be hard to tear myself away from playing Uncharted 2 as that game is truly amazing, but hopefully I can blast through Ghostbusters pretty quickly.

On top of both of these I still need to get myself organised in Eve by getting all my gear into my carrier and jumping it over to where the actual corp is so I can get playing properly again. I also want to play some more Global Agenda as my medic is now very close to hitting level 30 and I want to get my recon up as well.

4-5 months ago I was moaning that I had nothing to play… just goes to show that gamers are never happy unless they are moaning about something
