Got a bit of gaming done in June. Didn’t pick up the PSP at all, but got some nice gameplay into the PS3.
More or less finished Assassin’s Creed. Yay! (See previous entry). It was good fun for me – there need to be more games like this, instead of generic modern day shooter #563. Except Syphon Filter, goddamn. There needs to be a PS3 Syphon Filter game. Great plots, fun gameplay and interesting varied characters… I want it now.
Played a bit more of Ratchet and Clank. It’s a fun little game to pick up and play for short bursts, which I’ve been doing. For some reason I’m not feeling the motivation to play it for long periods though.
Oblivion – I’m kinda getting sick of this. I guess it’s from playing Assassin’s Creed, but the clunky battle is really getting to me – something like the Knights of the Old Republic combat system would have kicked ass. I’ve started trying to mix it up with battle spells and stuff, but… eh. Plus the quests are a pain. Just… eh. Getting over it rapidly. I guess I should make more headway into the main quest instead of fucking around.
Civilization Revolution Demo – so much fun! The pretty cartoony graphics were great and being able to see the buildings being built and so on was nice. The characters are cute, the gameplay is intuitive and the multiplayer works well. Combat makes sense and the controls are pretty good. Plus the world looks so pretty and… conquerable. I love looking at pretty CG water. I will be eventually getting the retail version of this, perhaps in September when I visit the US.
So yeah, that’s it from me this month. Not so much quantity, but I did finish one whole complete game and enjoyed the fuck out of it. Yay me!
