Spanner in the Works
This is me writing about something other than films for a change. Exciting. Gears of War is a simple game. Shoot, kill; shoot, kill; shoot, kill… watch a cut scene… shoot, kill… You get the idea. But it’s great fun. I think I prefer games you can just pick up and play and not have to get stuck into some attempted deep and meaningful back story. Which is probably why I decided not to get Fallout 3. Anyway, I completed GoW 2 last night and it was solid fun. Now if only somebody would coop with me. Yes, that’s another hint, guys.
Falling in Love with Fallout 3
I have been pretty hyped about this game since I read about it last year. The teaser trailer did exactly what it said it would, tease me like a bully in the playground. And now they’ve gone and released the E3 trailer and teased me some more. But seriously, this game looks to have some potential and I will definitely be adding it to my collection. Go and watch the Fallout 3 teaser trailer and Fallout 3 E3 trailer.
We Will Rock You
A couple of nice people on the OcUK forum have made a single player mod for Half-life 2, which I’ve just finished playing. It’s called ‘Rock 24’ and it focuses around the famous Gordon Freeman’s mission to save Richard G Newell from a combine prison installation. It’s obvious that a fair amount of work has gone into making the mod, and this makes it very entertaining. The playtime is about an hour and a half and there are some interesting elements and puzzles added in to make it more interesting.
