Yes, I Will Tell You What Has Happened This Past Month
I stopped playing GTA IV. I’m sure you understand how I feel from my previous post, so we’ll leave it there. What I was playing instead, is Viking: Battle for Asgard. This game is a lot of fun. It has great combat controls and some intense mega-battles. Like Dynasty Warriors and Ninety-Nine Nights. It’s a game with obvious flaws, yet completely satisfying. Totally worth playing. I actually got it through Gamefly. A rental service I just started using, first with Dark Sector. Here’s a plug:
Now I’m working on Conan and it is a great 3rd person combat game. What I really like about it is the way the combo system works. As your attacks land you then press the next button in the combo. Instead of dial-a-combo it works as combos should. I’m about to finish it, and need to for Ninja Gaiden 2 on Tuesday…
I like how the reviews for NG2 have been so far. People brutalize it for the camera, which confuses me because I think it’s one of the greatest 3rd person action game cameras. Especially with help from the Right Trigger. But most of it falls into my reviewer rant: This time, the game is just so frustrating that it is easy for the reviewer to bash its camera.
