Five Word Reviews
iconsam \| 4:15 AM on 05.07.2009	9 comments

Working on your own terms definitely has its moments. One of which is being able to play games ANYTIME you want. So lately, I've been chain-combo-ing nothing but working and playing games during my free time. (With the occasional drinking of the alcohol and the hiking of the hills.)

So in honor of the Webbys speeches, here are four, five word reviews of the games that I've completed recently.

Grand Theft Auto 4 - Niko: huggable but deadly. Epic.

Persona 4 - Worth 100 hours of play.

Valkyria Chronicles - Beautiful, emotional, awesome. Buy it.

World of Goo - Perfect game for taking breaks.

All the games mentioned are definitely worth picking up, if you haven't played them already. I'm still going through a bunch of backlogged games I've been meaning to finish. Here's a few that I plan on enjoying in the next few months:

- Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
- Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
- MGS3
- MGS4
- Bioshock
- Lost Odyssey

Yeah, I know... I don't know what the hell I've been doing NOT playing these games.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I have pretty much the same "to play list" going... life just doesn't have enough time in it.

I like the 5 word reviews though. It seems like a kind of haiku for game reviews. lol

Damn, now I can't stop.

Oh God, please make it end.

Let me grab this gun...

I don't know what the hell you have been doing if you haven't played those games but it sounds like you are going to have an awesome time in the next month or so.

Will you also please review Tetris? I five word review based on a game that is all about the number four would be phenomenal!!!
