Some shit I've played recently.

Poor old Return To Kai Temple. I've not been giving this blog much love recently so here's a quick update. I've recently played some decent stuff, some gash stuff and some whorey stuff. Here's the highlights...


Saint's Row 2 - I hate GTA games. All of them apart from the first one. The first one was good because it was truly sandbox. You just had to hit a score target, but how you did that was up to you. None of this story shite.

Well, colour me sexually confused. Saint's Row 2 is amazing. There is loads to see, loads to do, lots of customisation, a decent story, some moments of comedy. It's the best example of the genre in years. Even the 'gangsta' stylings don't really annoy me but maybe that's because I based my character on the Duke from Escape From New York. Am surprised at how fantastic this game is in co-op also.

Verdict: excellence.


Resident Evil 5 - not nearly as good as Resi 4 but miles better than any of Resi 4's imitators. Forces too many playthroughs and has some fairly dull levels but I beat the game five times and never really got bored. The game is maxed at 1000GS but the DLC for the extra 200 can go fuck itself.

Verdict: very good


Fallout 3 - Oblivion but set in a landfill site. I want to love it but I can't. It bores me senseless.

Verdict: tramp simulator.


Trivial Pursuit - acquired in a tasty deal with Burnout Ultimate Box. Fairly straightforward conversion of the board game but with an annoying fucking habit of asking you easy questions like 'Pearl Jam were part of a music scene that originated in which US city' and then asking you to pick it from a map without telling you what the four multiple choice options actually are.

Verdict: alright I suppose.


Peggle - addictive but frustrating bastard.

Verdict - worse for you than crack.



WHORE-OH SELECTION

CSI - easy but soul-destroying.
Surf's Up - reasonably fun.
Open Season - really quite shit.
Cars Mater-National - a bit dismal.
