I'm late to the Skyrim party - people have been playing it since November, and that's practically a lifetime in video game history. I had planned on sitting Skyrim out and waiting for a GOTY edition, but then someone randomly gifted it to me. How could I say no?
Before playing the demo, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning wasn't really even a blip on my radar. It's a weird post-holiday-season release from EA, that is dropping a month before the real anticipated EA release of the first half of the year - Mass Effect 3. I'm really looking forward to ME3, but I was intrigued by the prospect of a new fantasy RPG series from a major publisher. I was really looking forward to something new and fresh, but I wasn't really expecting what I ended up getting.
I've been playing with a couple of interesting bits of hardware over the past year or so, and I think I've finally got enough time with them to give a pretty comprehensive review and recommenedation.
EB opened our series on MW3 with "you only get one chance," but the first content drop on Elite was the game's (and Elite's) second chance to make a first impression. The rest of the Elite service is technically the icing on the cake that is new maps. This was our first chance to dig in and have some delicious, headshot-laden cake - so how did it go?
Batman gets kind of a bum rap. His most popular incarnation, by far, is "Movie Batman." Movie Batman is essentially James Bond in a funny outfit. He's loaded to the teeth with gadgets, he zips around the town in fancy cars, and everywhere he goes there are beautiful women, big explosions, and insane super villains. But that's not really who Batman is. It's hard to say that this incarnation is "pop culture" Batman, since Batman's a pop-culture icon even without the movies. But he is, in a way, dumbed down for the moviegoing audience.
We've been playing the Modern Warfares in multiplayer for several months now. This is generally the part of the cycle where things start to drag. The single player is just a memory, SpecOps are all Opped out, and the thought of another prestige is sigh-worthy instead of exciting. New maps are on the horizon, and with them, the promise of potentially more fun things to do, but for now, we've got to deal with what's available.
One of my Christmas gifts from my wonderful wife was an iPhone 4S, and as such it was incumbent upon me to test it's capabilities over the Christmas break with some new apps. This being my first iOS review I'll also throw in a few other golden titles I've owned for a while.
Ugh, my wallet has a hangover. The Steam Holiday Sale did another number on it. As is my way, I dropped another $20-$30 on things that were cheap and interesting, so let's take a couple of asprin and survey the damage.
Ugh. What is it with derivative game sequels this season? First there's Deus Ex, then Modern Warfare 3, and now another Assassin's Creed rehash. Sigh.
I didn't think it there was any more heinous preorder transgression than what happened to agent86 - I mean he'll never know what it's like to hold the squid gun. Even still, a gentleman by the name of Dave experienced some amazingly bad customer service on a preorder that eclipses any bad experience on any purchase I've ever heard of or seen. Not only is all of it captured in an email thread, the villain of the story, Paul Christoforo - continues to campaign for the lifetime achievement award in internet douchebaggery.
