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 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.

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.
