This Weekend In Gaming 0

by Adam Blue • Editorial

I started off the weekend by finishing Conflict: Denied Ops. Despite the somewhat lack of polish, this game is very fun. The entire game you play two different characters, and switch between them depending on the task at hand. This would be great for co-op. As soon as Sean grabs a copy, we’ll be all in it. The action is frantic, with many explosions and ways to die. There is no mercy here. Not only do you have your counter part which you may command, but you will also get other allies at times, which by not letting them die you’ll receive achievements. It’s brutal, but rewarding.

Saturday I received Wolverine from Gamefly. Sunday, I beat it. It wasn’t a short game, but it was slightly repetitive. I will let that slide since the combat system is awesome. Now, I also found it to be easy, but that could have just been the fact that I really mastered the controls; playing it two days straight drills the moves into your head. This is a game that’s just worth playing. It’s everyone’s favorite, Wolverine, and you get to do what you want to do with him. I’m glad Activision let Raven get away with all the gore, since the movie is rated PG-13 and a T-rating could have possibly bumped up sales numbers (not sure how factual that occurrence is, but it’s just a guess since Fox did it with the movie). Definitely play this one.

E3 is this week. There’s a few things I’m looking forward too, mainly some new IP for Sony and Microsoft. In regards to the recently announced PSP Go, I’m hoping there’s some way to transfer the already purchased UMD’s into digital format which would then be toes to my PSN ID. That idea is already a rumor…a rumor that went along with the PSP Go rumor. So, there is a possibility there.

IMO, Sony is in a position where they realize their arrogance wasn’t getting them anywhere, and I want to almost say that Microsoft is getting there. Sony’s intent with the PSP Go is to delve into the market currently owned by the iPhone, and, as soon as Ninteno gets it’s head out of it’s ass, the DSi. Portable digital download gaming. The only one left? Microsoft. They did announce the Zune HD. Most likely in preparation for E3 since announcing the device there wouldn’t make sense, but some gaming features would. Live Arcade titles on the Zune HD, or a whole new Microsoft gaming handheld. I can’t wait to see what happens.

P.S. Looking at my gamercard, the games shown were completed in that order. I jumped from one to another, demolishing them. You can add Killzone II in there right before World at War. It was a fun game, but not worth the hype.
