Finally finished Gears of War 3 and loved it
After finishing the Deus Ex: Human Revolution game and DLC, I jumped over to the old Xbox 360 to play Gears of War 3. Actually, this is the 3rd time I’ve started GOW3. Each previous time, I was either distracted by work or home crises or something, but this time, I was resolved to play…

Mostly liked Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Missing Link DLC
After I finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution, I played the DLC package, Missing Link. It turns out I should have played it before the second to last mission of the original, because the DLC mission takes place during the voyage there. It didn’t take away from the game, however, because it was completely orthogonal to…

Finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution and really enjoyed it
I finished Deus Ex: Human Revolution and thought it was all it should have been. I played the original Deus Ex many years ago and liked it quite a bit (though remember little of it now), so had high hopes for this one, and wasn’t disappointed. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a first person action…

Finished Borderlands 2 and the ending didn’t suck
I finished the story missions of Borderlands 2 over the weekend and really enjoyed the game. The ending was significantly less lame than the ending of the original Borderlands (umm, killed the monster, but no fancy loot? WTF?). This time, there were some nice drops from the final monster and Handsome Jack – so many,…

Finished Uncharted 3, Loving Borderlands 2, Wondering About Torchlight II Co-Op
I finally finished Uncharted 3 and enjoyed it quite a bit. It really is like playing in a movie, where everything is very scripted and you need to do exactly the right thing to get to the next cutscene, but while you’re playing, none of that feels constraining at all. The game looks good, and…

Borderlands 2 is great fun!
I got Borderlands 2 yesterday and played it for perhaps an hour and think it is great! The PC version looks good, is fun, and has lots of guns, even at the start! My only complaint is that the inventory/equipment screen is awkward. Instead of the obvious PC-centric approach of dragging equipment (guns and shields)…

Finished inFAMOUS 2 and really enjoyed it
I played the “good” side of inFamous 2 and finished it last night. I really enjoyed it and even think the ending was appropriate. The fighting was great and the game looks good and is fun. I played the good side because I’m not a big fan of hurting innocents, even if they are just…

On mudcrabs in Amalur
As a side note on the last post regarding Kingdoms of Amalur, I am happy to report that mudcrabs in Amalur are not hostile. Unlike the annoying mudcrabs in Elder Scrolls games, like Skyrim and Oblivion, the mudcrabs don’t attack you and aren’t edible. I presume they were included as sort of a poke at…

Enjoying Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
When last I wrote, I had just finished inFamous. Since then, I finished Dungeon Siege 3 and enjoyed it. If you can get it for a good price, I recommend it, but don’t pick the gun girl unless you want a big challenge. A friend loaned me inFamous 2, but it didn’t grab me as…

Enjoyed inFamous, trying to finish Dungeon Siege 3
At the end of last week, I finished inFamous and really enjoyed it. If you have a PS3 and haven’t played inFamous, pick up a used copy for cheap or get it on PSN (maybe$20? I forget). The powers are great and it is tremendous fun to blow stuff up! Even the story line is…
