I haven’t been playing much over the last week, but I did get a chance to sit down with something.
So, what games are they? Well, read on, child. (pictures not included, because these are NUGGETS!)
Yakuza: I think I’ve started this game three or four times in the past year. I’m about 6 hours into this play session – the longest I’ve gotten so far – and I’m starting to enjoy the feel of the game more. Sadly, the combat is a bit dated and clumsy, but I’m making my way through it as best I can. Because I’ve started and stopped the game so many times, the story is somewhat of a mystery to me. Mainly, I’m just going about the streets and beating up fools when they get in my face on the way to the next checkpoint. So yeah, alright.
Odin Sphere: With the recent release of the Wii’s Muramasa: The Demon Blade, I decided to pop in Odin Sphere, since it has been on my shelf for the longest time; hey, this shit’s pretty. However, I wish the game were in high definition, but that ‘s asking too much of the PS2. I only played about 30 to 45 minutes of the game, but I can see myself going back to it sometime soon. How soon? I have no idea.
Mini Ninjas: On a more recent note: I rented Mini Ninjas for the PS3 because I felt giddy playing the demo a few weeks ago. I’ve been in the need of a solid, not-too-much-thought-put-into-it action game, and Mini Ninjas almost satiated my appetite. I said almost. As much fun as I was wanting to have with the game, I just couldn’t get into it as much as I hoped while playing the demo. So, god dammit, I have to wait for Brutal Legend. Bring on the demo, baby!
The Beatles Rock Band: What can I say, it’s Rock Band, it’s The Beatles, and it’s extremely enjoyable. It brought a smile to my face. The. Whole. Time. Congratulations Harmonix.
I’ll be back with more games… later; whenever I feel like it.
