About Me: Hello.

Originally submitted to GameFAQs in 2004. For some odd reason, the Genesis version on HG has the PC title (edit: which has been changed since I made this blog post).

Coulda fooled me, I saw zero advertising for the game. Did anyone here actually get the game? How was it?

Portal 2

Almost didn't write a review for this, but I figured I might as well do one while the game is still fresh in my mind. When I finally did start, it ended up being a pretty irritating review to write. Not because it was hard to write, it was actually pretty easy, but because I really didn't want to give anything away, since the entire thing is one big clue. In the end, I think it works more for people who played the original and know what I'm talking about, but I hope it wasn't confusing for readers that have never played a Portal game before.

Got my Triple Pack copy for the 360 on Thursday, but it wasn't until now that I decided to try one of the three games on the disc: Splosion Man. I've played levels 1-1 through 1-10, and I dig it. It's a very simple game, but it stacks on the platforming situations pretty quick, making you work with your "three explosions per jump" limit. Though, I think they're going overboard with the wall-jumping, making me want to call it Wall Jumping: The Game, instead. It is early, however, and I'm sure there's more to offer.

I also thought I'd get tired of the main character's quirkiness, but his wacky animations are hilariously charming.

I was expecting to witness the worst thing to ever come out within the last 5 years with the way people have been reacting to the movie ever since its release in theaters.

I actually thought it was a nice, violent action movie. Not the greatest thing I've ever seen, but far, far from the worst. Some of the kills in the movie are over-the-top, but at least they weren't the same, lifeless "shoot people and watch them fall over" types you see in a lot of action movies. I guess the only real issue I can grab from the movie is how... the irony... comical the villains, Jigsaw and his brother, got as the movie went on.

The entire time, I was expecting this to be some action movie, and that's exactly what it was.

Dungeon crawlers are not normally my thing, but this was going for $5 new on Amazon, so I got it.

I've played three hours into it, and I'm not sure yet if I like or hate it. So far, it seems like a fairly typical dc, but it has some little tiny things that irritate the crap ot of me. Like saving; I get the quick save aspect that pops up between floors, but I just don't get why you're forced to turn off the system with normal saves when you're in town. It's annoying because you have to go through at least 5 logos, an intro, the title screen, and finally, the load option, to finally get back in the game. It's stupid.
