I've been on my fourth Diablo II kick for a week or so. It's sort of a new experience for me because I've never had the expansion before. Also, I'm going without Battle.net for the first time since I started playing ten years ago.

the game is probably going to flop big time but I have fond memories of the first two and cursing at my tv for hours trying to beat the stupid games so I will definitely be picking this up.

crysis 2

It's super tight, surprised by how good it is actually. Wish it had more guns and turret sequences.

Turret Sequences are never the answer, and nine times out of ten, they're the worst part of first person shooters.

They tend to limit you too much. What if I don't want to use the turret?
They're dumb.

Played From Dust all day. Amazing game.

Crysis 2 was good, but I personally found it lacking. It's hard to point out exactly why, but I felt it lacked entertainment value. I didn't find the game very intriguing and actually felt I had more fun in the first game. The CryEngine is a beautiful piece of work, though.

I think it has to do with the CryEngine being specifically designed for lush exotic jungle environments with lots of vegetation and color. I think a transition from that to an urban environment shoots an advantage the developers had in the foot. I still haven't played Crysis 2 because I'm waiting for it to drop in price, but it is on my list of games I want to play, but from what I've heard from others who have played it and the original, they said it would have been better in a jungle environment.

Speaking of the CryEngine, I just picked up this game again.



I had just read a rather interesting article about how the game's lack of options was itself a narrative device, showcasing the idea that choice and morality are nothing but 1st world luxuries that do not exist in this situation. It made me rethink my previous opinion on the game, and while I'm sure I'll still be frustrated by some of the gameplay features (like being shot at by people on my side of the conflict because programming friendly AI is too hard for Ubisoft), I still think it's an interesting and sophisticated narrative device that deserves my own interpretation. Plus I get to run over zebras.

I've been playing From Dust quite a bit lately. It's a pretty cool concept for a game.

Also, I've been playing Crackdown 2 and Alan Wake. Might throw in a little Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts soon.
