Original Dungeon Keeper Podcast: Episode 1

So I've decided to do a podcast. It's pretty self explanatory. It's pretty awful as well I reckon but who am I to judge? If you guys like it then please leave a comment as I'd rather like to run with this idea for a little while longer than just a week.

Enjoy!

This 'n That

Haven't really been playing much recently.

I've been having the odd mess about on Modern Warfare every night, but apart from that it's just been short bursts of inFamous.

Still, I'm keeping up with the times and that over at CVG.

Also nFortress celebrated it's two year anniversary today. You should check it out if you haven't done so already.

InFamous

I finished inFamous today. It was.... impressive. Very impressive. I was blown away actually by the overall production values of it. It was definitely the most fun I've had with a game in a while.

I'm just trying to clock it on evil now. Already, about an hour in, the experience is surprisingly very different. It's darker, more insane, and has 100% more red! Because everyone knows, if you give a killer electric powers , the electricity goes Red because red is the colour of PURE EVIL.

Anyway. Expect a review soon-ish.

Summer Time!

Ah the summer time! It's warm! It's great! Also, Summer rhymes with "Street Fighter 4" and "Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga"! Honestly, it does. If you don't believe me then you're just not saying them right.

Anyway, I bought these two games for the Xbox the other day for a tenner (a mighty fine deal if you ask me), but I'd also just bought inFamous, Battlefield 1943, Wipeout HD: Fury, the original two Fallout games and of course had just started playing Fallout 3.

This is probably the main reason I haven't been blogging as much lately. I've just had so many games to play that I didn't even wanna talk about them.

So basically, expect a ton of reviews coming your way over the next few days. Well, probably weeks.

And I'll end this review, with a bit of a controversial statement.

inFamous is clearly better than Prototype.

DISCUSS :O

An Offer I Can't Refuse

Ok so this has been circulating the Internet for a while now but, man this is such a good deal. Two games that look quite frankly amazing (I'm a firm believer that Uncharted 2 will be game of the year) in a bundle that kicks arse.

So getting!

Now That's Realism

I got Playstation Official Magazine the other day. It came with a free Demo disc as per usual, and before discarding it (It's had the same demos on the disc for a few months now), my girlfriend had a look. 

I'm one of those really lucky people who happen to have a girlfriend who shares the same hobby as you, and in our case we both adore games. Together, we've finished Half Life and a few others and regularly compete on Team Fortress 2. So, as she glanced over the list of games and I pottered around the room she came out with this.

"There all the same though, aren't they?"

Bemused by this statement, I asked "What do you mean?". She replied "There all too realistic. Whatever happened to... Sly Racoon! And original Spyro games! Games these days, especially for PS3 and Xbox are too realistic." 

She's right of course. Most modern day developers are determined to create the most realistic of experience they sometimes go as far to forget to check if the game is actually fun. I agree that Call Of Duty is a masterpiece, Metal Gear Solid 4 is amazing and Crysis is a good laugh but there all very realistic. 

In the mainstream, I believe there's four different types of games lining the shelves. The "Brutal Shooter" in which a man with lions for arms charges through a desolate war torn landscape killing everything in his path and eating them (Avec Gears of War), The "Crybaby Shooter" in which a group of hardened men go to a desolate war torn landscape to die and kill many MANY people (Most realistic, and Call Of Duty 4), The "Inbetweener", this is normally the same as the other two but with a sense of humour or a stupid 

story (Metal Gear Solid 4). Finally, we have the "Everything else". These are the games that normally deserve our attention more than the rest. 

Personal opinion of course.

And what did happen to Sly Raccoon? I'll tell you. There making this promising looking superhero sandbox game. But like most modern day companies there doing something more adult, just like Naughty Dog did Drakes Fortune and Insomniac did Resistance.
