EQOA Frontiers, PS2: A Wonderful Return

by tss on Friday, March 5th, 2010

A friend and I decided to start playing this very, very epic game of yesteryear: Everquest Online Adventures Frontiers

After finding my disc and ordering the Logitech keyboard controller I went to GameStop to buy a used PS2. Got it back to my house and hooked it up. After entering my credit card information about ten times I finally got on-line. Walked my existing Level 9 Necro Elf (I think) out of some necro zone and began traipsing up a hill to kill some stuff and my PS2 died. It will be returned first thing in the morning. By this time tomorrow night I plan on having my Level 9 up to about 15 … I am hoping. That is if the next used PS2 works. Talk about being bummed in the gob.

Demon’s Souls: More Time in Hell

by tss on Sunday, October 25th, 2009

I like this game and I really f-ing hate it. I mean, I am still in the same damned castle. I moved into one area that is kind of like a progress marker. This game is incredibly tough. I am only on Soul Level 9 and have played for five hours. I want so bad to trade this in for something I can actually get through, but when I finally make it past certain areas it feels great.

If you are impatient, suffer from ADHD or find Bejeweled to be a great night of fun you will not want to play this game. If you are masochistic purchase this game. It’s horribly wonderful and sucks and rules all at the same time. I hate it! But I am compelled to keep playing.

I may have more actual info or something resembling a review on this game when I finally get somewhere with it.

My First Date with Demon’s Souls (PS3)

by tss on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

I saw a review on this game and have been watching it for a while now. Tonight I traded in Batman and Folklore and laid out some fiat currency for this game. I heard I would die … many times.

The tutorial is pretty sweet and throws you into killing possessed bodies and skeletons of soldiers that have fought before you. Anyone online that is playing in the same area you can see as a ghost. Watching them can tell you what to or what not to do. It’s something that I never would have thought would be sweet until these things started wailing on me.

As a Barbarian I swing my club like a champ and brake many of these smaller obstacles, collecting their souls along the way. And then it happened …

My first boss battle. I lost. I charged and he killed me with one swipe of an axe larger than any bong I have ever seen.

So ended my introduction to Demon’s Souls. Pwned by some huge creature that I will not describe out of respect for this game. So far … I like this game. I see many sleepless nights in my future.

Wolfenstein (PS3 Demo) [Play Wolfenstein 3D in Your Browser]

by tss on Thursday, September 24th, 2009

In an age where Nazis are starting a global Holocaust via science, Wolfenstein is released and I have downloaded the demo for some much needed catharsis. The demo is pretty fine. It’s nothing spectacular, but it sure gets the job done. I have read a lot of mediocre reviews about the veil … (an occult artifact that lets you slip in and out of a world that is green but shows you weak spots in enemies and stuff) … but I kind of like it. I may just trade a few things in for this. Not quite sure. Definitely download the demo. It’s a good time popping off Nazis … as it should be.
