Had a request to do a follow up on my earlier post about all the great games coming out this season so here it is.<\/p>\n
I’ve played quite a few of the games I listed in the earlier post, but a few have been taking up more time than others while a single title really dominated my time.\u00a0 A quick recap of each follows:<\/p>\n
Fable 2 – Much much better than the first Fable.\u00a0 Pay little attention to the storyline, the real fun here is amassing a fortune in order to buy out all the real estate, marrying as many spouses as you can get away with and just generally existing in the world.\u00a0 Biggest complaint?\u00a0 The weapons system sucks.\u00a0 Without hardly trying you can have the best weapons by mid-game.\u00a0 When you’re raking in money hand over fist from your real estate investments it would be nice to have something to spend it on.<\/p>\n
Force Unleashed – Not the greatest Star Wars title ever to grace a screen, but a very fun game none-the-less.\u00a0 The moves system is pretty deep, and the character upgrades system is fun.\u00a0 Even if your budget can’t fit this title in it’s definitely worth a rent for the weekend.<\/p>\n
Rock Band 2 – Meh.\u00a0 More of the same I guess.\u00a0 While there are some truly epic and fun songs on this outing overall I liked the track selection of Rock Band 1 better.\u00a0 Depending on your musical tastes your milage may vary widely from mine.<\/p>\n
Left 4 Dead – Haven’t picked this up, but the demo was pretty fun.\u00a0 Its next on my list of purchases.<\/p>\n
Warhammer Online – This game is a real blast. The PVP scenarios are super fun, and regardless of what anyone says the Witch Hunter class is awesome.\u00a0 I’d imagine it would be harder to consistently place in the top 5 with a class that was really actually broken.\u00a0 If you’re looking for a new MMO and you’re sick of WoW like I am, give this one a go.\u00a0 I’m sure you’ll like it.<\/p>\n
Fallout 3 – WHOAH.\u00a0 This game has sucked more hours out of me than any game in recent memory.\u00a0 In fact, I can’t remember spending as much time just exploring since I played Morrowind.\u00a0 Fallout 3 does away with all of the problems I had with Oblivion, namely the terrible interface, quick travel and scaling enemies.\u00a0 This is a true 100\/100 game; placing Bioshock and Fallout 3 side by side makes Bioshock look like an 85\/100 by comparison.\u00a0 If you only have the budget for one game this season make it Fallout 3.\u00a0 Let me repeat that.\u00a0 Buy Fallout 3 right now.\u00a0 Its that good, I promise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
