Hyped about Resident Evil 4

/

I've had Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition for quite some time now but I haven't really played it past the first house. I've always heard great things about this game and I've wanted to play it since it was a Gamecube exclusive back when it was first released.

I just can't get to playing a game until I really sink my teeth into it. I can get going and play for hours straight if I'm enjoying it but once I stop, at time I find it so difficult to just boot the game again. I'm just weird like that, plus having a day job eat 9 hours of my life 5 days a week doesn't help either.

However, after watching this video, I want to run home right now, boot the game and swear a whole lot while laughing my ass off. If there's anything that can get you hyped about playing a game, its stuff like this. Thank you youtube. And thank you Machinima for getting these two guys to make this series.

Weekend, what are you all playing?

/

The weekend graces us once more. Time for excessive and uninterrupted grinding, multiplayer fun (online and local), training mode for all you fighters out there. Tell us, what are you playing?

Migoy: Been kind of a slow week for me when it comes to video games but I have indulged myself into some more Dissidia 012 Duodecime: Final Fantasy. Beat  the stories of Tidus and Zidane. Grinded a bit doing some party battles and started Bartz's story. Though the game is for the most part very similar to the first Dissidia, if you've played the first game as much as I have, the differences and tweaks in the new game are enough for you to notice them and change the way you play. It's a great game and encourage you all to try it, especially if you are a Final Fantasy fan. Cross-over stories are mostly bollocks but c'mon, who doesn't want to see Cloud face off against Squall?

Quash:

Finally reached level 30 in DC Universe Online. now the grinding begins getting the best gear possible to be able to join raids and certain alerts. This is where i find out if DC Universe Online is worth the buy. Leveling was actually a blast since mostly everything is voiced and you get to fight alongside your favorite Heroes/Villains. But the real test for any MMO is if the end-game is worth the $15 dollar monthly subscription. So far i did a few duos( an instance that requires only two players) so i can't say for sure yet if end-game content is good. I still have a few weeks left in my free month so we'll see.

Revisiting Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Wii)

/

I popped back in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows in my Nintendo Wii. The latest open world Spider-Man game by Activision up until they broke the chain with Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions. I have beaten this game before and the reason I am revisiting it is to get the bad ending for the game. The last time I played it, I went completely good with the game's simplistic morality system. Another reason why I was compelled to revisit the game is because when I was at my cousins' place the other weekend, we played a bunch of Wii games and one of them was Spider-Man: Web of Shadows. Seeing Spider-Man swinging around New York city and remembering how much I actually enjoyed playing the game made me want to relive the experience and the goal to get the bad ending gave me a solid reason to do so.

The game is far from perfect but honestly its no where near as bad as people say it was. Sure the morality system is bland and the frame rate tends to drop at times but the combat is suprisingly enjoyable which is more than I can say for previous open world Spider-Man game, even Spider-Man 2, and swinging through the city is simple yet satisfying. Where else can you power slide down the side of a skyscraper?
