Twigg's gaming chronicles

how is bulletstorm? it didnt get great reviews but i liked the demo. just been waiting for it to go down in price some more to pick it up.

I don't really have much of an opinion on it yet because I've only played through the prologue. The prologue was awfully long winded setting up the "story" though.

[tigstah]

yeah, i heard that about bulletstorm. i believe the guys at giantbomb stated that.

So I finally got 100% in L.A. Noire and got my coveted Platinum trophy.

I played another chapter of Bulletstorm and there isn't anything about that game that is intriguing me. I'm totally happy with playing a chapter at a time which is completely unlike me. It's still way early though so hopefully it gets better.

The second chapter of the first Act of BS was a lot better. It starts getting more fun as you unlock new kill types. Plus the on rails section at the end was pretty damn cool.

Did you get to that part with Waggleton P Tallywacker?

Did you get to that part with Waggleton P Tallywacker?

No. I just hit Act 1, Chapter 3.

I do really look like the look of the game. It's so colorful. Such a contrast to most shooters today.

If it helps, the game reminds me of Metro 2033 where I struggled to start it but by the end I had a hard time putting it down.

I started MotorStorm: Apocalypse and Donkey Kong Country Returns last night. I'm not sure why because I leave for a week tomorrow but oh well. Both games seem pretty awesome though.

All the destruction and craziness going on in MS is just nuts. I also like how they added collectible cards and hpwe they have the trophy progress counter pop up in the bottom right corner, ala the achievement counter in Gears of War 2.

DKCR is just an awesome classic platformer. It doesn't hurt that it is probably the best looking game I've seen on the Wii. It's going to be quite a challenge, but I'm sure plenty of fun, finding all the hidden KONG letters and other collectibles.

[Twigg4075]

DKCR is a great game but one thing pisses me off. You spend a good amount of your coins in Crank Kong's shop for these "upgrades" but you only get to use them on one level. Example: You can buy a life upgrade that give you an extra heart, meaning you can take an extra hit. You normally only have two hearts meaning three hits and you're dead. But it only lasts ONE LEVEL and it costs like 30 coins or something crazy.

I just finished World 2 and the game is already getting tough. The tidal wave level was a bitch.

I'm pretty much hooked on MLB Bobblehead Pros.

And the wife and I started Hunted: The Demon's Forge last night. We didn't get far but I'm not very impressed at all. There just seem to be graphical glitches here and there. The graphics themselves look very dated. The split-screen is pretty disappointing because it doesn't take full advantage of the screen. There are these bars on both sides. It's like I'm playing on a 25-27" screen which is tough when you're use to playing on a 61".

is that your subtle way of reminding people you have a 61" tv lol

LOL, no. It honestly strains my eyes. You know how you become so accustomed to something? Like HD for instance. Any time I see something in standard def it hurts my eyes. I'm so accustomed to seeing games on my size tv that when it's shrunk so significantly it's off putting.

You're probably the biggest trophy whore I know. I thought I was bad...

I guess you're referring to FB. Honestly, most of that is just because I play so many different games. But I am a trophy/cheevo whore. ;)

Im guessing your playing Lego harry Potter with your wife. I haven't played much of Batman, but I think Lego harry Potter is the best of the series so far. The magical world seemed meant for it.
