Monthy Post Update..

Another month, another lack of posts.  Still been feeling guilty about not posting more, so this is attempt to get back on track #2 – Three strikes and you’re out.

Since the last post,  despoite complaining that i had loads of games to play and needed to get through some over january, i still managed to pick up House of the Dead: Overkill, Skate 2 and Rainbow 6: Vegas 2.

House of the dead has been excellent fun, although the boss fights are way too easy compared with the arcade games (As HOTD:4 reminded me last weeekend).  It’s exceptionally cheesy, the cut scenes look pretty bad, and the plot is just odd.  But i don’t care because shooting zombies in the face with a mate or 3 is just awesome!  We haven’t unlocked the Dual wield function yet, but once we do i can see some cool High score challenges!

As for Skate 2, well it’s like Skate, which is the reason i bought a 360.  Says it all in that sentence, but to be more thorough:  I like what they’ve done with the city, it feels familiar but different at the same time.  The added tiricks offer some spice, but i’m still overly reliant on a selet few tricks most of the time.  Skating around and not doing any challenges is still great fun.  Worst thing about it i think is when you get off the board.  The idea of creating your own runs sounds fun, but often it’s simply the case of well there’s a ramp behind here and there’s an ovbious place to use it  5 feet away.  Also, the amination and controls are just awful when you’re off the board.  I still thess than 3 it though!

Vegas 2 Was really bought on a whim for some co-op play ans something a bit different to play with friends on tuesdays from Halo.  It’s Good fun, i like the sense of tension in it, and it’s been very enjoyable playing with Sprigan on Live.  I’m about halfway through the ’story’ now.
