Like ever other person on this planet who played Portal, I think it’s one of the best fucking games ever made with a story so messed up, makes me want it to be a crappy horror film (they are the better ones) so badly - Mr. Zombie, please? I’ve never got into World of Warcraft, but I am tempted every now-and-then; espicially now that I am going to Mac only, I got limited choice to what desktop games I can play.
So I see this and I think as well as an awesome music video, the scene really is set and sends that warm fuzzy feeling that the original story of Portal set for me.
new TV yesterday, and I must say; it’s fucking awesome!
It is a Vistron Sense 32″ HD Ready LCD TV with Freeview. Tried it out last night after getting in from work and playing with the Gerbils; the screen quality is really good, may not be a major brand, but its good enough.
Went out drinking for a late St. Paddy’s day drink (damn 150 year rule) with a friend of the girlie’s and I. We came back and I hooked it upto the Xbox 360, turned it onto 1080P (very nice) and had a round of Halo 3 with it.
Unfortunatly that’s all the use I can get out of it till we move into our apartment (in just over a months time). But alas, I just need to get a PS3 now!
Not often I buy a game purely on the fact of who did some of the voice acting in it. Well, to be completely honest, I never have. That’s untill The Darkness came along in it’s glory as if it came straight out of a comic book; which it did.
For one of those games which suprises you how good it actually is and not just a cheap knock-up. Here’s the thing, you get to walk around New York as a semi-demon, and also the World War I trenches, and you get darklings to do your bidding. It is pretty cool.
The voice of The Darkness it’s self is done by Mike Patton of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and a host of other bands I cannot remember. He is the reason why I got it.
I’ve picked up the prequal comics on ebay and will probably get the Ultimate Collection at some point too. Mind you, they aren’t old skool comics, but they should be good.
If you got a PS3 or a Xbox 360, I suggest getting this game now, you can pick it up cheap now. If you love FPS’ or the whole comic book or horror thing going on then it’s a must. Got a bit of ganster/Mafia stuff going on in there as well.
My copy came through today all the way from the states!
The problem with banning a game in the UK means I’m gonna pump money into the American economy! Stupid UK.
Have only play five minutes of it, but already a dude has pissed on me and another thrown shit all over me, and my character has thrown up after doing a very nasty kill. Oh, and how it got to a Mature (17+) rating? It’s because the kills have been filtered over and shown at bad camera angles to hide the “violence”. Stupid Censors
Although a little annoyed about the fact that Manhunt 2 is stilled banned in the UK (as its been plastered all over the news) meaning I can’t get it for the Wii like I originally planned, they’ve released it in America Tuesday and thusly, a PSP copy has been released.
So now, guess who went on eBay and secured a copy for the PSP? Moi? Yes!
I decided that I could wait much longer for a UK copy to come out in the near future, so why not just import it for the PSP? I’ve done it with plenty of games on the PSP and thusly have nothing against it. I mean, if a system comes out without region encoding you might as well make good use of it.
Whether the ban will ever be lifted here is questionable, but when it does, I’m totally out there to get a Wii version!
