Awake From My Coma


Well, looks like it's been over a month without any of my overly-excited hyping of upcoming games. You have also missed out of my super expertly-worded game reviews. To be honest, there isn't much I had to say in April. It was kind of a slow month in the world of video games, and I spent most of my gaming time playing some beloved Halo 2 matchmaking. I'll sum up my most recent thoughts into easily-digestible bullet points:

  • Virtua Tennis 3 is fun, but it doesn't explain in enough detail what you need to do in those damn Academy training missions. The AI is pretty relentless, and I got my ass handed to me every time I played online.
  • Armored Core 4 is bad. I thought it would be good.
  • ZOMG'RZ I loved Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I totally appreciate Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin a hell of a lot more now.
  • I still haven't bought Earth Defense Force 2017. No real reason why. I know it's shallow, yet fun. And when I get it, I'll let you know just how wrong (or right) I was.
  • I also haven't checked out the Shivering Isles. I admit it - I'm afraid to get back into Oblivion. One of these days...when I'm feeling lonely, I'll jump back in.
  • I did, however, download the Rainbow Six: Vegas expansion- the Red Pack or whatever it's called. I like the new maps. I like the new modes. But this was to be expected, so not much news on the R6 front.
  • I still haven't beaten Call of Duty 3. It's good, but I'm just not ready yet. In fact, this is the first time I've mentioned Call of Duty on this blog. Hopefully in 4 we can pop some caps into insurgent asses.
  • I finally started playing Fight Night: Round 3. Excellent face and stomach-mashing fun.
  • When the Halo 3 beta rolls in, I will be there to greet it with open arms. And I will miss a lot of sleep. I love you.
