Over the past weekend I received two games from GameFly: Wet and Demon’s Souls. Wet is pretty fun. It reminds me a lot of Stranglehold which may mean it will get boring quickly. I’ve tried on multiple occasions to complete Stranglehold, but the game just got stale very quickly. Wet is a little different because it has many different game-play styles. You still ’shoot in style’ with tons of slow-mo. I actually decided against playing it most of the weekend, but hopefully that changes.

Demon’s Souls is pretty awesome. It is one I’ll probably hold on to for a while. Problem is, it’s hard with a real-life baby. The game is difficult, and there’s no pause. So, when little Hera cries or is trying to get my attention, I have to just hope I’m in a safe spot in-game.

I started playing Motorstorm: Pacific Rift. It’s fun but actually started off hard as hell. I was last and could never move on. After a few attempts I got first, and since I’ve been finishing in first. I hope there’s more to the game because this could also get boring fast.

SNK has announced some new releases. Or, releases of older games. I have Neo Geo Battle Coliseum which is awesome, but never got time to really get into it. Luckily, it’ll be on XBLA so with achievements available, I’ll be all over it. The odd thing here is with the new Metal Slug on PSP. I’ve got it on the DS because I found it cheap during a Gamestop sale, but I was waiting for the XBLA release that they hinted at before. It doesn’t look like that’s the case here. They will also be releasing the KoF Shmup, which sounds completely awesome. These are still Japan only releases for now – but I’m sure they’ll be here soon.

Did you guys hear about what the ECA did? They pretty much made it impossible to cancel their membership, which the link provides all the details to. It’s pretty shady, considering they also called their members ‘finicky’ among other things. Most people signed up for the discount benefits, which is a valid reason, but I avoided them because I never liked them. I hadn’t really seen them do anything to warrant any position as a real pro-gaming entity. (Or maybe I simply missed something?) I wrote them off as a simple money-making business. And I was right. It’s good too, because gamers (especially on the internet) are vocal enough to call out what’s going on.

I would like to be proven otherwise if there’s factual evidence out there to support it. I’d like something like this to be real.
