A new dilemma

I have a new problem that needs solving. I want a new game, but there are too many good ones right now, and I can't afford them all. I guess that is a good kind of problem to have. Anyway, I'll make a list of games I want for each platform I own and hope for some advice. I doubt I'll get any advice here on blogger, but since this will auto upload to facebook I should get something. Anyway, here is each system and the games I want for it.

Wow

It has been over a month since I posted last... That is quite a while, and I have quite a bit to say, though I doubt anyone actually reads this. Well, I have some things to say, and that's all that matters to me.

I have a bunch of XBox 360 games now, and I have actually played all of them. Here are my impressions about all my games except Tales of Vesperia, since I already did that one.

The Orange Box: I like this disc. It has a lot to offer, but I probably would have been willing to pay $20 just for Half Life 2. The rest of the games are just gravy. Portal is very interesting but I find myself frustrated more than amused by it. I haven't tried Team Fortress 2 yet. I wish I knew some other people who had it.

Devil May Cry 4: This is good, though not as good as the original. I feel like it is a bit too difficult. I am stuck at the ice toad thing. Even my buddy can't beat it, and he has beaten all 3 other games on pretty much every mode. I don't know why this one seems so hard.

Battlefield Bad Company: A very entertaining FPS, but it feels a little basic. Don't get me wrong, it's very well done, but the only thing super special about it is the humor. Great for $20.

Bioshock: This is like the 360's Metroid Prime, but with a much darker story and scary little girls. It's incredibly well done. I don't know what else to say, it's definitely something special.


Let's see, what else is going on...

I got Onslaught for WiiWare. It's an OK game. The real attraction for me is the fact that I can finally play another FPS with my brother, who only owns a Wii and a DS. We have only had Metroid Prime Hunters until now.

There are too many games that I want... I won't list them all because there are too many. I am having trouble justifying $60 for the new Star Ocean. The same goes for MadWorld and Deadly Creatures on the Wii. And while I want House of the Dead: Overkill, I refuse to pay $50 for a rail shooter.

That's all for now.

XBox 360

I bought an XBox 360 last week. I now have 4 games for it, or 5 if you count Sega Superstars Tennis, but I don't. It came with the system and I didn't want it and I really don't like it. Anyway, the other 4 games are Tales of Vesperia, Bioshock, Battlefield: Bad Company, and Devil May Cry 4. I have only put time into Tales so far, and my impression so far is that it is amazing. However, I've never met a Tales game I didn't like, so you probably don't want to take my word for it. I can say for sure that all Tales fans will love it and that people who hate Tales will loathe it. If you're new to the series, give it a whirl unless you own another system that has the Tales experience. So, try it unless you own a Gamecube, Playstation 2, or Wii. All have Tales games that are really good that would also be less expensive options than Vesperia.
I'll update with my first impressions of the other games as soon as I play them.

Star Ocean 4

I don't really have anything yet, but I'll post some video of Star Ocean 4, which is easily the game I am anticipating the most this year.

New Blog

I have thought about maintaining a blog before, but I never really gave it any serious consideration. Now I have to maintain one for one of my classes, so there will be a lot of that stuff here in the near future. I'll try to put some other stuff up as well. Right now I have no idea what kind of content will go here...
