Writing reviews is hard.
July 23, 2010

Writing reviews is hard. Today I've bounced between several unfinished reviews, trying to get into the stride with at least one of them, but I'm getting nowhere. Today alone I've written about Monkey Island 1 and 2's special editions... Star Ocean 4, Twilight Princess, Smash Bros. Brawl, Tales of Symphonia... ugh.

I think I was a 1 trick pony this year. FFXIII was a fluke. Wind Waker was an unfinished review I managed to finish just in time, and last week I dipped into my backlog out of desperation.

Why did I sign up for this? :P

Watch out, Janus

I have a plan. Hit me with your best shot.

*signals Venter and Leroux to sneak up behind him and shove him into a well until the match is over*

Yeah, I don't have a plan.

Or maybe that's what I want you to think.

YOU WON'T KNOW!

Done at 1700 words or so. I'll let it sit for a few hours then I'll go back and edit it. I should probably print it so I can annotate it with a red pen or something.

It'll be ready, damn it. I'm in this competition and I am actually writing new stuff! It's like 2002!

Final Fantasy XIII
June 29, 2010

This game was such a monumental failure that not only did I feel incredibly disappointed with the game, but it also made me hesitant about buying future games in the series. I mean, FFXII was flawed, but it wasn't a terrible game. But this game has knocked one of my favourite franchises off the pedestal.

Perhaps this is a good thing? Maybe I was too much of a fanboy and I just didn't realise it. I wonder if I'd actually enjoy some of the previous games if I gave them another run through? Would Final Fantasy X still be my favourite game?

FFXIII review coming soon. I've written about half of it, so far. Hoping it's ready for Round 1.

Working on a new review
June 25, 2010

I hope to have it done for week 1, and I might just get there. I'm quite happy with what I've got so far.

But if it's not ready then I'll polish up one of my old ones.

Be afraid Team Janus. Also, no, I'm not reviewing Jedi Knight.

I keep buying games, yet I have no time to play them. And right now I lack a comfortable chair, so most of my free time is spent out of it.

Games I have that I haven't even played yet:

Alan Wake
The Last Remnant
The Saboteur
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

Zelda: Spirit Tracks
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (I bought this 2 years ago!)
Dragon Quest: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Resistance: Fall of Man (this was a freebie)

There's no helping me. >_

What I've been playing.
June 03, 2010

I wasn't going to buy Red Dead Redemption after GTA IV disappointed and enraged me, but so far this is a superior game. But then, I did like GTA IV at first, too, so I'm purposefully taking my time with this one, not rushing through the missions, and hoping that if I don't over do it, I'll still enjoy it. I don't get much time to play games now, anyway, so my progress is mainly limited to weekends. I loved getting an achievement for placing a tied up woman on the railway tracks and waiting for the train to splatter her blood ever. I think I would have done that without an achievement... because I really am dastardly, and I did the appropriate "Mwahahahahahaha!" as it happened. It did take quite a bit of work, though. First I had to kidnap the girl and get away from my pursuers, who weren't
