Lost Planet 2

There isn't a website that I have been able to find that allows people to rate video games. I use http://www.imdb.com/user/ur30963634/ratings

and

http://letterboxd.com/caseydeans/

but there is no similar site for video games.

I posted about Bioshock Infinite and want to continue to write reviews.

Lost Planet 2 was just meh. It wasn't terrible but it was so short, so repetitive, and so bland that I just sort of went through the motions and beat it on easy. The joy of completing the game was more about being able to stop playing rather than feelings of accomplishment, satisfaction, and resolution. Lost Planet 3 so far looks to bring the series back to the level it was at with Lost Planet 1, which was a fantastic game.

Rent this game, don't buy it. Worth playing once but only if you've played Lost Planet 1 and plan on playing Lost Planet 3.

The first quest: Bioshock Infinite on Sony Playstation 3.

I have played for maybe a few hours but will try to put in a serious session tonight. Tomorrow, I will report on the experience. 

Bioshock Infinite on Sony Playstation 3. Saturday 20 April 2013


Total play time of session: 00:02:15
Total play time of game:    00:02:15 (since recording began, probably played 1.5 hours before)

This game is very fun. The story is very complicated but not convoluted  I wouldn't have stopped playing but I got very tired.

Total play time of session: 00:03:20
Total play time of game:    00:05:15

Review of Game:

What a beautiful game. The art is fantastic and it truly transports you to another world. After completing the game you have a sense of being back on Earth after having spent time among the clouds.

The Ending? Well, I won't say anything about it except that it was fulfilling and intriguing.

You like donuts, eh?

 photo HomerGIF.gif I recently completed college. For the past three years most of my time has been spent working to this point in my life. Hours after taking my last final a very odd mixture of emotions overcame me. I would describe it as a mixture of fear, trepidation, anxiety, excitement, anticipation, confusion, apprehension, ambition, and wonderment. I have decided to start a new project and start it right away tonight. "Why Wait?", I asked myself. "You can wait when your dead," myself replied. I have been building a large backlog of media to consume. Books, comics, television, movies, and video games have been purchased or added into queues for the past three years. Of course I played some, maybe too much, maybe too little. Now that I am going to be entering into a graduate school of entertainment arts and engineering (which is scholastic talk for video game school) I felt it was best to look at the consumption of this backlog as a challenge. So, I will be documenting my experience. I predict that like Homer, I will be able to gorge and gorge, always aking for more.
