TWO GAMES DISCUSSED

It is near a month since I wrote my last post. The reason is that my home internet connection was interrupted abruptly. And to be worse, the internet provider company told me that the reconnection will be not possible until near a month or so. Fucking idiots! Well stay calm.

Alternatively during the last weeks I have played Brothers in Arms, Kingdom Under Fire, Men of Valor and Predator Concrete Jungle, among others. In particular, I want to talk about two of these games that shared in common a very bad media review. Or, to be fair, that the reviews I have read about them (I do not intend to have read ALL the reviews) put them in a very fragile stand.

Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders is a big game I love so much. I agree that the music is a little bit annoying (non-stop heavy rock or something similar). But the characters are good and the story too. It's the kind of game that allows you let your imagination fly free, and to enter in a new dimension of fantasy and epic. Until now I have played two characters: Gerald and Lucretia, and both are good enough, even I prefer Gerald (sorry girls), my materialist-realist view is too strong. I think that once I advance more in the game, my empathy with it will increase even more.

The second game I want to talk to is Predator. Concrete Jungle. I have read really strong criticism about it. And, to be sincere, I don't agree. I think that the game is gore style, yeah, but also has a story and, particularly, the challenges are very interesting parts of it. I must confess: I'm really a bad player with this game. I obtain low scores, and even my 11 years old son, advances me not one but two or three times. Notwithstanding,the characters movements are well solved, and the different vision options (infrared....) are also a good resource.

Other games
Lately I have bought a few new games: "Warrior Kings:Battles", "Killzone", "Dynasty Tactics 2". I know Killzones since I've rented it a few months ago. Pretty nice. On the other side, Call of Duty, The Finest Hour's I have rented last weekend was disapointed. The playability is good, but the drawings are rubbish.

That's all right now.

One more thing. A few weeks ago, it was announced that "The Soprano" tv mob serie, will have his own digital game version. Good news, since I love so much T and all the people over there.
