Flashback project 4

After my last blog post I got the flu, no not the swine flu just the normal flu and was not in the mood to play pretty much anything. I was sick for two weeks and also during this time my Xbox 360 died, it would not read any disk. One hundred twenty dollars and two weeks later I got a xbox 360. Before my 360 died I did get to play two games from gamefly. I got Mirror's Edge the day of my last post and bought it after playing it for a hour. I finished it after I got the 360 back and Im glad I bought this. The game about a woman named Faith and she is trying to find the real killer at a murder that her sister was found at. I wont give away the end but a part is in first person and there is a omg I cant believe she did that. I will do speed runs in this game some time soon. There is two levels which I found hard, one where your riding on top of a train and one where you climb up in inside a build. The train level is all about remembering the level, there are signs flying at you fast and you have to jump to a other train. The level where you climb up in inside a build it feels like it last forever. I finished the game with out shooting anyone with a gun and didn't find it that hard to do. Now I was playing on easy Im guessing I will need to shot on hard. The last game I played on the 360 before it was sent out was James Bond Quantum of Solace. From what little I got to play, this is one of the rare movie games that's good. The game is made with the call of duty 4 engine and it shows. The controls feel the same as call of duty 4, the guns and aims feel the same. Online you have to buy your weapons and perks. I only got to play team deathmatch and I was doing good I was 2nd or 3rd in kills on my team in the few games I played. There is a cover system and that makes me wonder if Modern warfare 2 will have cover system. With the cover in single player I found the game too easy to play. I will be playing this when I can find it for twenty dollars. almost 2 weeks break from video games I started back up with some Sonic. I finished one, two, and three all in one night. two was the most fun and I liked the ending. The end of the first Sonic made me say "that's the end? that sucked", It didn't feel like a ending. I found Sonic 3 boring, Im guess after playing one and two I was getting sick of Sonic. I played all three games on Sonic mega collection. I plan on finishing the other games sometime soon. When I got back my 360 back I bought Dead rising. I found it fun until I got to the 2nd case and could not pass it. I tried over and over I finally gave up and will start a new game and go for the 53k kills and leveling up. Gamefly sent me Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Im glad I rented it. The game only took me 7 hours to beat, it does have the replay value of the rest of the Ratchet & Clank the weapon are mostly from older games and I had to do some leveling up with the weapons. The game about Ratchet & Clank are on break, a little girl want to take some pics of them after she takes the pics she is kidnapped, Ratchet & Clank go to save her and a hole brunch of twist and turns in the story. The game still has the humor of the other games. This is a game looking PSP game, I played the port of grand theft auto: liberty city stories and it looked like crap. This look like a PS2 game, when you fall to your death you could fall through something and that's the only problem I found. A other game that gamefly sent me is Mercenaries for the PS2. This is very much like the the 2nd game but this one sound like it has a story. I didn't play that much the game sounded long and I didn't have the time to spend that much time playing it. I finally finished Condemned on the 360. I started playing it in October, I stopped playing because of the holiday game rush and my 360 would read the disk. You play as FBI agent Ethan Thomas and you must find a killer who is killing other killers. The game is mostly fight with objects, you will find a gun here and there but with little ammo. I didn't find it that scary for a horror game but in enjoyed the story. The last game gamefly sent me was Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law based on the show. It has the same humor and look of the show. You play as Harvey and most win five case. It is a short game, finished it in four hours. If your a Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law fan its a rental. In the next blog I will talk about what happen during E3 and what I been playing as well.
