Random Gaming Thoughts

Jericho is a little rough around the edges. Undying is the shit though.

Undying is awesome ... Jericho not so much.

I know, I know...They aren't the most popular games. The reviews on Jericho are all over the place - some 3/10, some 8/10 -...

Really?! I remember the reviews I read at the time (GFW Magazine, Zero Punctuation, etc.) gave the game scathing reviews.

and the game is definitely not a generic military-themed FPS.

WHAT?!

Likewise, Timeshift received good reviews from most ciritics, and it has some interesting puzzle mechanics that intrigue me.

I didn't read reviews for this one as I thought it sucked from the footage I saw. *shrugs*

The only game I am actually worried about is Time Crisis 4...

As you should.

I only played a demo for Jericho and thought it sucked. As for Undying, I enjoyed the bit of it I've played.

Undying is $5.99 on GOG. I had the chance to play Jericho when I had Gametap, but I saw a lot of mixed reviews on it too. I've got new machines so I want new FPS to go along with them!

Tony Hawk Underground 2 is disgusting and horrible . I had high hopes for it after loving the first game, but they lost everything in this one. I couldn't get past the first level, not because it was hard; because it was tedious, boring, and barely any of the goals involved really skating.

Assassin's Crees III really uped the dificulty from the Ezio Trilogy. I dont know what it is but I am constantly having to redo missions like 10 times

Not sure this deserves it's own thread but.... I love Blaster Master. I love the exploration, the overhead sequences, the vehicle is awesome, different weapons.

Anything else out there like it?

One of the best NES games of all time.

One of the best NES games of all time.

Yup. Not sure if there is a better way to spend six hours with the NES. The soundtrack is still one of the best in the history of video games.

Only one complaint: You can get Sophia stuck, and stranded, which can negate hours of play time.

I don't have high hopes for it. It looks intriguing, however, and I am happy to add it to my collection (especially for $2.5).

Again - and based on the reviews I have read - it appears to be (1) unique and (2) worth $1.5.

Now, I just need to decide whether I want to pick up Mayhem. (The reviews are so bad, but it looks so cool!)

That's a fine price to pay for it for sure. All I was saying with my Undying > Jericho comment is that if you want to play a horror game by Clive Barker and you haven't played Undying you should.
