On Video Games
Feb. 23rd, 2009 11:13 amOkay, now that my viewing scheme is fixed....
My list of games for the XboX is growing. Despite controversy, I do want to play the new Resident Evil. I've heard all points of view on it, read the arguments and dissertations, and figure I'll just make my own judgments upon playing the game myself. I think that's all anyone can do. And as I'm quite the fan of RE, and the gameplay looks beautiful, I can't just dismiss it with no personal basis whatsoever.
And my god, Star Ocean: The Last Hope looks gorgeous! I just saw the commercial last night, and I have to say I crave the shiny. Hey, it's Star Ocean, that in itself is enough to sell me on it.
I actually have little interest in Street Fighter. Despite loving the games, and playing the earliest incarnations obsessively in my teen years, the newest installation just doesn't grab me. It's not terribly pretty, it doesn't look like they're utilizing all the features that the new gen consoles offer, and it doesn't really look like anything new was brought to the table. And when we have something like Soul Calibur out there...I'm going to go with Soul Calibur for my fighting games.
And of course, Fallout 3, Homecoming and I'm honestly contemplating the Afro Samurai game. It's pretty and it's mindless chopping up of bad guys. I'll need something to fill that role once I'm done with No More Heroes and Left 4 Dead...
Not that I currently have time for video games, but still. Nothing wrong with a wish list, especially with a birthday not too far off.
