Video Game Update (I’m weak willed edition)
January 24th, 2007
Just a quick gaming update, I have a few minutes to kill before I have to leave to catch the train, so here’s what’s new/what I’m playing:
- Ray-man Raving Rabbids (Wii) – I’ve basically finished this game. I’ve gotten the incomplete ending, and it’s only a matter of finishing up a few last games to get the full one. I’ll work it off slowly. But overall, an awesome experience.
- Gears of War (XBox 360) – I occasionally play this with my buddy Dan co-op. I also play with my office mates online a little. But until I finish co-op with Dan (we’re using my save game) I can’t play it by myself.
- Wii Sports (Wii) – I like to play this with some non-game music in the background. My favorite is the Quincy Jones – Homerun Derby combination.
- Zelda: Twighlight Princess (Wii) – I’m about 25% of the way through it. It’s a good game, and I enjoy it, but it’s not my favorite. It’s not the aww inspiring game everyone seems to be making it out to be.
- Lost Planet (XBox 360) – I caved. I bought it at the prodding of my buddies at work who all bought it. It’s really good, and really pretty. But like Dead Rising (they’re produced by the same guy), it can be a little intense at times. But the multi-player is pretty sweet.
- Anything on my DS – Currently all of my DS games are on hold since I’m reading on the train right now. It kind of sucks, but I have a good reason for it. Hopefully one I’ll be able to talk about soon.
So that’s the list of the games I’m currently playing. I also got the Crackdown demo last night, and it’s pretty sweet. I think I’ll pick that game up when it hits the company store. Oh, I also pre-ordered Guitar Hero 2 for the 360. It looks awesome, and I got semi-hooked on Guitar Hero at Jeff’s place a few days ago.
About Zelda, I’ll admit the game was slightly disappointing until I got to the first real dungeon. Unfortunately that’s around 10+ hours into the game, and the stuff before it is semi-boring. But the Goron Mines kicked ass! After that, every bit of the game was gold man, and it’s just awesome dungeon after awesome dungeon… almost to a fault. After a while you get the feeling, “Damn this game is long!”, even though it’s a lot of a good thing.

See, I’ve beaten the first three real dungeons, and I’m still not totally in love with the game. *shrugs*
