Go Canada Go! Olympic gold medal! What a game, one of the best international hockey games ever, could not believe it when America tied it up with 30 seconds left, there goalie is incredible, the best player at the games.

Week 8 Twenty Ten

Torchlight

Finally got round to starting torchlight, and proceeded to become totally addicted. This is Diablo, right down to the music. If the style was less cartoony and colorful and more demonic, I would have to think twice about what game I was playing. Truly classic dungeon crawl gameplay, a serious addiction in growing, reached level 23 this week.

Mario & Luigi

Starting to become less enthralled, the gameplay is starting to get to me, there is so much trial and error in dodging enemies. I feel like I have to fail at it a few times before it is even possible to take down the bosses. This would not be a problem normal, but I am losing my love for the humor. Fawful had become very annoying, it has slipped in to absurdist, and I am not having as much fun.

Heavy Rain

Only played a few hours, but already I’m in love with this interactive fiction. The little choice, and actions have already made an impact on the world. It is so easy to perform a simply action without realizing the results of my choices. It has one of the best opening levels ever, playing with my kids, helping my wife with dinner; it sets the tone for the dark things to come. I can’t wait to explore more of this creepy, engrossing world.

Next!

Torchlight

Couldn’t quit this one if I tired, I think it is best played in small bit sized pieces, the repetitiveness of the genre does begin to wear during longer play sessions.

Mario & Luigi

Despite some misgivings and a waning interest in the story and humor. I’m going to try and put more hours in to Mario’s lasts RPG. I have become a bit less of a fan of the game. The humor has gone in to absurdest territory, and I for one am a bit put off

Heavy Rain

Not sure how much I’m going to get to dig into this one, it feels like a game more deserving of longer, more involving play sessions anyway, My wait until next weekend to really sink my teeth into it again.

Axellion, needs more loot
