I have decided that it is time to start using this blog. Many a month was spent agonizing over what neat idea to do. Today it finally hit me.
If ANYONE briefly glances over this make that glance less brief.
The idea is as follows:
1. I list games I current own/have in my possesion and have not yet played.
2. You, the delicious reader, vote which of the games I shall play.
3. I will play the game for one hour, stopping every 5 minutes to write how I felt about the previous 5 minutes.
4. I will stop playing the game after 1 hour of playtime and click the publish live button (after spellchecking of course).
Ta-da. Now this might be a wonderful idea, this might be a horrible idea. I have no clue which it could be and will never know if no one votes.
The list of games I have and have not yet touched are...
Xenosaga 3 (PS2)
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (Xbox)
Wild Arms: Alter Code F (PS2)
Magna Carta (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (PS2)
Dungeon Siege (PC)
Pathologic (PC)
Post Mortem (PC)
As you can tell I really don't have the attention span for RPGs anymore, but realized that after I purchased several. Also, Riddick and Dungeon Siege were 5 dollars.
If there is a tie in votes I will choose the game from those that are tied in some random fashion.
LOL, only joking
But, seriously, play that one first, it kinda blows you away and the feel of it is sooo right. It's hard to explain just how good it is, you'll fall in love with it before the end.
Yep. Cut scenes are going to count towards the hour. Some games might be nothing but cutscenes and a tutorial in the first hour, some might be a bit more interesting...but that'll be the fun of doing this. Seeing how different games first hours unfold.
