I don’t know what it was about this game when it was released that made me feel so nonchalant about playing it, it just felt like it was trying too hard to be unique and cuddly. At the time I gave it a miss, and put it way down on my list of games I [...]

I tend to rent a lot of my games as I move on fairly quickly to a new game so owning them is of little use to me, but the service I use for renting games seems to of clogged up recently, meaning I don’t get the games I want to play as fast as I used to. Which is why i’m only getting around to Killzone 2 now. I ended up getting a loan of it off a friend who loved it.

Also, being a bit of a PC gamer elitist, I really don’t like playing FPS games on the console with a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse.

Not to let myself get caught up in the pre-release hype for this game, I gave it a bit of a wide berth to see if it was more than just nostalgia that was making me want it. I left it for about 2 weeks to watch the reviews stream in with opinions on it. There where a few gripes in regards to controls from the upper echelons of SF4 players, but nothing a lowly beginner like me would have to worry about.

Here is another short post to recommend a game I have been playing religiously every day after work. It’s a good way to blow off steam.

The game itself would be classed as a “Tower Defense” game, whereby you need to build towers and turrets to protect your base from “creeps” or the baddies that will march towards your base. It’s kind of like a very basic RTS, but immensely satisfying in my opinion.

Flower, a PS3 exclusive, is an exception. It really is difficult to capture just how refreshing this game is.
