Deviation Actions
You know what's great about being on holiday in Ireland? You're expected to get sh1t-faced drunk the entire time! No one (save my poor liver) complains. It's awesome.
Major Fanboy-gasm Alert!!
Holy shit! Did you see the Metroid: Other M trailer?! Didja? Didja!?
If not, hurry over to Gametrailers. I'll wait...
...
Well? Sweet, don't'cha think? Fuck yeah!
As Yahtzee would put it, apparently there was a Nintendo thought-detection van lurking outside my home, because Other M looks to be exactly what I've been hoping to see in a new Metroid title.
A third-person action adventure that delves into Samus' backstory, expands the Metroid universe and calls back to the previous title, I mean, Adam Malkovich, anyone? Mother Brain annihilating the infant Metroid? And young, pissed-off Samus extracted straight from the manga?
GLEE!!
And w
Resident Evil 5
It's a good game. Actually, it's quite a good game. Which is a shame because it's a big ol' letdown. Anyone expecting an innovative classic re-imagining of the series is going to be hugely disappointed.
Save the amazing presentation (the graphics are eye-meltingly good) there's nothing new in this title that in any way feels a worthy original addition to the series. Its stunning set-pieces and gunplay, for all their pros, feel hollow when you remember how much you enjoyed this experience when it was fresh in 2005.
The co-op play is fun but critically flawed and should never - ever - have been made into the game's USP. Replacing zombies with
Resident Evil Degeneration
Anyone else catch the new Resident Evil CG movie? It apparently bridges the gap between parts four and the upcoming five. While ostensibly a set-up for the new game, it's actually much more a standalone story, featuring fan faves Claire and Leon.
It's bloody terrible. "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" terrible.
The story's as poor as a standard RE game (which ain't exactly Joyce), the imaging isn't on par with older CG offerings and the acting, despite featuring some of the better VA's around, ranges from wooden to cliché.
Still loved it, though. It's great to see Claire is still alive (consdiering some of the rumours about Jill) and kickin
MGS4
The wait for Nintendo to finally ship back my Wii and copy of Brawl was made significantly less interminable by my realisation that I suddenly had the free time to play the final Metal Gear Solid.
And well...
I've cleared all the MGS games and I feel I have a fairly strong grasp of the intricacies of its massively convoluted history, but even I was left lost as to what on earth was going on during some of the more left-field revelations. And my tenuous grip on the main story was weakened every time I had to take bathroom break during the ludicrously long cutscenes, like a movie villain stepping on the hero's fingers as he hangs from a cliff
