Very short. But an interesting glimpse at possibilities...and nowhere near as bad as it was slated to be. Not much different from the call of duties and such. Just shorter. R.I.P. Goliath. We will remember you fondly

Wow. Just....wow....don't think I've enjoyed a game so much since...Deus Ex: Human Revolution probably. Just did not want to stop playing it until it was done. A near enough perfect re-imagining of a brilliant classic updated with modern nuances making it just as good, if not better, than the original. Me, Steve, Kathryn and Betsy blew the field open with heavy weapons. Eugene and Matt covered us long range with dead-eye sniping. Scrooge was all out assault charging pointy tip of the spear with Nathan who brought in support and many live specimens. Steve 2 also brought in support but unfortunately developed a nervous condition causing him to panic under fire. Laura and Adrian saw little combat but tried admirably. Little John and Phil were the first of us to develop new and amazing psionic powers, but ultimately, it was Phil who made the final sacrifice to save the Earth

Restarting the fight. It's Halo. No doubt. 343 Industries first in the series is off to a good start. Didn't mess with the formula. It's still Halo. Quality of visuals is unbelievable. Looks like live action. And lots of really fun vehicle sections. Only faults I can give it is the music is very quiet, subdued and forgettable. Not like old Halo music at all which was unforgettable. And the story flings things at you without explanation and then takes them away again just as quick. But still. Bring on more of this.

Wow. That was a long one. And a huge one. And a lengthy one. And an enormous one. etc. So much to see, so much to do, so much stuff to get, so many people to kill. Great all round. Benefited greatly from having a real writer this time. Very funny and charming

That really was obscure...and bad too. Not even a funny enjoyable kind of bad. Just plain bad. And cheap. But a survival horror co-op game is still an interesting concept. And we will be playing ObsCure II: The Aftermath. Eventually...

After 8 days hit with a game breaking bug right at the end. Calling it as done anyway due to poor campaign scripting. Otherwise very good recreation of the original. Marred only slightly by horrible A.I. path finding algorithms...

Quite an action packed episode. And tense too. No way things are going to end well now...

Some more old Atari ST games done

Awesome stuff. Pretty much a straight Devil May Cry clone but with a chick instead. But very stylish and cool and a lot of fun. Need to buy a Wii U for the sequel now...

One last visit to Italy with Ezio for a short PS3 exclusive DLC. Usual stuff. But brought back a lot of good memories. The next one will be in the civil war...

Basic game was decent enough. But story was horseshit indeed...make Samus seem too girly and weak. And Phantoon? What the fuck? Also, missing important Metroid sound effects like item get...not the best Metroid ever

More clearing up old games...
