Finally, A Charger
This week, most of my game playing has been done between Assassin’s Creed and CoD4. The unlocks for CoD4 are just addicting. On Thanksgiving I brought my 360 and computer monitor over to my parents house to do some CoD4 online with Sean. We played a whole lot. I love how much you can customize your load-out. And I think certain combinations will suit different players to their needs and likes. Right now I mainly use an M16 and double-tap, and before that I was a big fan of ’slight of hand’.
The one thing that bugs me about Assassin’s Creed are the controls. I feel like the control scheme is a little much and could have been simplified. I also think Ubi Soft relied to much on Prince of Persia and didn’t seem to evolve much from it. Too many times in AC I’d be ’steering’ my character only to to some times hydroplane when I really shouldn’t have. Sometimes I’ll take dives into the ground or jumps off a wall when that was not at all what I was trying to do. But I can totally look past that and enjoy the game.
At Toys R Us, I picked up a Wii Zapper and Ghost Squad. I need to mess around with it a little more, but so far the Zapper feels a little off. I also picked up these nice Wiimote chargers. It came with a charger to stand the Wiimote in, along with two batteries and can be charged via USB if so pleased. This is what I’ve been waiting for.
We’ll have more on all this on tomorrow’s podcast.
