Bullshit Round-Up
I’m about to beat Darksiders–and have grown weary as shit of it–but I still haven’t delivered my promised Bulletstorm review, which should be rectified soon. L.A. Noire is dropping on Tuesday and will go head to head with Skyrim for game of the year, possibly for game of this generation. Heady stuff. Keith is excited for it. What am I excited for? Hunted: The Demon’s Forge, which I’ve bothered to learn nothing about except that it’s a Diablo clone and that’s enough for me, and Duke Nukem Forever which I feel I owe it to Gearbox to buy, just for giving us the punchline at the end of a 15 year joke.
I just learned, four months later, that Andy Whitfield will not be reprising the title role in Starz’ Spartacus, and am kind of in WTF mode. They couldn’t wait another fucking year for him to recover from lymphoma? Unwelcome.
Progress
I just beat Bulletstorm, and while the ending left a bad taste in my mouth, the game itself is pretty and pretty interesting. Look for my review on Sunday. I’m still hacking away at Breath of Death VII and Darksiders, both of which are kinda awesome; Keith is playing Crysis 2 for review and bitching about it the whole time. Those are the breaks.
In other news, I can recommend Outland based on five minutes with the game. That’ll be next on the agenda. Trouble Witches Neo premium themes for the 360 both rock the shit, btw.
Portal 2 Co-op
Keith and I beat Portal 2‘s co-op mode tonight. It took us two sessions and about 8 hours of playtime. Very good game. Expect his review of the game as a whole to be forth coming, followed by Crysis 2. Meanwhile I’m about halfway through both Bulletstorm and Breath of Death VII so those reviews should be up by the weekend. Cheers.
Go Get a Ruler
When my apartment burned down five weeks ago, I lost my Xbox and all my save data. My friends were all incredibly supportive, but not my buddy Rhyno. He saw it as an opportunity to pass me in Gamerscore, nefarious prick. While I appreciate his moxy and killer instinct, I can hardly let this slight stand, can I? His score now stands at 26070, mine at 25705. The Race to 30000 is on (btw that douchebag Keith isn’t even in the running.)
On Tap
So I’m playing Breath of Death VII: The Beginning by Zeboyd Games right now, it’s an indie title on Xbox Live Arcade. It’s pretty sweet! Expect a review in the next couple days. Next week we’ll be reviewing Bulletstorm and Crysis 2, among other things. Eyes peeled.
