Mass Effect 2 review

As a guy that never played through mass effect 1 i didnt look forward to this game at all. The first game had very mixed reviews. To sum up what ive heard was “good game but to many faults”

So got this a week ago, im through my first run and im left with very mixed feelings right now. First of all, this is an awesome game. I cant stress that enough. Even if you havnt played the first one its totally playable. You’ll get the story told along as you play. Your thrown right in the story where the first game left off. And based on how you finished the first game you’ll have different experience with this game. People you’ve saved in the first will appear in this game and story moments will continue. Of course you have the choice to start from a new character or pull your save game from the first one.

So long story short, this is brilliant. The action events in cut scenes is brilliant. The characters and conversations is brilliant. If you like Gears of War or Halo but also like RPG games, get this! Im going to play through a second time – which says a lot as i never does that!

Brilliant

Quick Bioshock 2 review

im 5 hours in and i really dont like this game. Im forcing my self to playing it though, but only because i really like the first one so much. It becomes more and more clear for me that this should have been a movie and not a game. And now the movie wouldnt make sense because you’ve ruined it all by making this game!

If you put me in a big daddy body, why not make me feel like im a giant guy with crazy weapons? why force me to go through exactly the same stuff as the first game? What a pain… I never felt like i was a giant guy with a lot of power. I know it wouldnt make a lot of sense to give you a lot of power at first but at least dont make me feel like a cripple.

Last annoying thing which was in the first one is the blinking items all over the map. I know i can run through without looking at everything but by making items blink you force me to look at it. And by not giving me enough items you force me to look too. Its annoying! Give me enough ammo to get by, but if you want to do more damage i can look around for it. And stop blinking!

At all time i wanted to play mass effect 2 through once more

Review: DiRT2

A couple of days ago i saw that DiRT 2 was released in the wild. As a true rally fan and a heavily Dirt 1 addict i had to get it. If you’ve been following my twitter feed you might have noticed that ive been bitching a bunch about this game. For those who havnt, heres the deal.

First of can we talk about how amazing Dirt 1 was? Holy baby jesus that was an amazing game. The graphics was amazing! The look and feel of the interface was just to die for. All i wanted was to create that interface in flash and have a website that looked like that. Also let it be known that the game is 3 years old now and still has replay value. Such a great game! A couple of new racing types was introduced but it was still overall a great rally simulator.

Dirt 2 is another story. I would properly match it up with what happened with the great Tony Hawk series. Some tacky graphic artist got his hands on Dirt 2 and pooped shiny colors and doodles all over it. At first glance this looks like a TH game and not a rally game. Please bring back the old interface designer! It was so good!

Another TH effect is all crap you can put in your cars front view. Is that really necessary?! I mean, i just want to be able to see the road and drive through the beautiful environments without hitting every last thing because i have a hulu doll in the front view and small shoes in the rare view.

And whats up with all the different types of races? Rally, Rallycross(which is the same as rally, but with a giant bumper on the back and no one is talking to you), Gate crashers, Buggy races, Hummer races… Come on! Dont put crappy race types in a rally game when all i want is to drive a F’ing rally car with a guy telling me what to do! LIKE THE REAL THING!

BUT! If you can set all those things aside, this is a really amazing racing game. I hate all the special races but the rally is sooo good that it makes up for it. The landscapes are so beautiful and the races are exciting and fun. I dont thing i can find a thing wrong with this part of the game.

Well, you still have to unlock the easy levels which isnt difficult at all, before you can race with the pro’s!
