New year New stuff (last day of xmas holiday)

Hello happy new year etc etc, any who I’ve enjoyed my holiday it was pretty good I got a few things for Christmas like a Boba Fett boggle head to Fallout 3 and some other PS3 games!

Some of my PS3 games I have to say are pretty awesome, there’s Fallout 3, Folklore, Soul Calibur 4, The Orange Box, Lair and Far Cry 2. Here is my opinion on each of the games.

Fallout 3- Fallout 3's a pretty cool game its slow at first but gradually gets you into the game and starts you off on your journey in the outside world. At the moment I’m not very far I’m still in the first town but I’m on my way to another city to help someone complete their report on dangers in the outside world. The only problem with this game at the present time is that enemies are extremely hard to kill in packs and you have to use a lot of med kits to stay alive, but other than that the graphics are nice and the way you can talk to someone to get information on things is quite clever. 8/10

Folklore- I didn’t play this game much since Little Big Planet took over my holiday pretty much but it is quite fun. You start as either a male journalist or a girl looking for her mother in a ghost town on a freaky island. I chose to play the male first and started bashing little evil fairies with magical powers which is fun. Only problem i could find is that if you forget to level up the little girl then you can’t go any further into the game until you have her at a certain level which can be frustrating. 8/10

Soul Calibur 4- There’s nothing like playing Darth Vader and smashing your enemies into the ground it’s the whole reason why you would have to buy it ha-ha! I really do enjoy the graphics on the game and the button bashing is great fun the only problem i would find is fighting someone a lot better then you at the game ha-ha. 9/10

Far Cry 2- Far Cry is a really good game even though I’m still near the start, the graphics are great and finding diamonds in briefcases is fun (one of the many trophies of the game is to collect them all). The one thing I say I don’t like is the somewhat A.I the game has, the snipers are always facing away and never get to shoot you unless you stand in open view and people sometimes don’t shoot but stand there and wait for you to kill them which isn’t very challenging. 7/10

Lair- Riding dragons and destroying hundreds of men in an army is great fun, especially if your dragon sets fire to them with its dragon breath or takes a swipe and knocks about 20 of them into the air in slow motion. The graphics are amazing but the game play is difficult but I suppose you can change the controls in the options menu to suit you. 7/10

The Orange Box- Okay I might have people shout at me but Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 isn’t that great! The graphics are nice but the problems with it are a few like for example on TF2 you can only play one player and you have to play online, if you want a 2 player game and you don’t have the internet TF2 isn’t for you. There’s also an issue with players on TF2, their bastards the lot of them! your playing for the first time so you’d expect to get put onto a server with people who are just starting out but no, you get put with the professionals that camp on the other side of the map and headshot you as soon as you walk out of your base its horrible! Then when they kill you they dance next to you and boast on how much time they play on the game and how much they think you suck. It’s not a nice feeling to have when you want to relax and have fun. Portal is ok but it is far too easy to figure out and get repetitive very quickly, mind you I do like the cute robots that ask you if your still there just after they tried to blast you into little pieces he he. 5/10
