Thoughts on Mass Effect 2 that are currently leaking out of my head.

I have way too many games left, just from this year, to finish. As any gamer worth his weight in plastic peripherals knows, the couple months before Christmas is THE time to get big games. We’ll start with the oldest first…

So I’m playing Dragon Age, and I could swear that I’ve played this game four or five times already. What gives? Deja vu, all over again.

Hmm…now that was a cool game, Deja Vu.

Much was said about the new Batman game, even before it was out in the wild. People were calling it the greatest Batman game ever. Even mentioning “Game Of The Year”. I was intrigued by the art style it was done in, and simply by the fact that some of the cast from the animated series was involved, so I picked it up. Does Batman live up to the Bruce Wayne standard or does the game come up as short as the Penguin?

All I am trying to say is that pretty much NO GAME is worthy of the Corinthian hype it may receive. That includes other games that are very near and dear to my heart like Final Fantasy and even the mighty Metal Gear Solid.

Let’s face facts here, there are way too many “rhythm games” on the market: Guitar Hero Aerosmith, AC/DC’s Rock Band track pack, Battle of the Bands, DJ Hero, and even Rhythm Heaven. I think it is safe to say that the market has been saturated for a while now. That being said, it is really hard for me to care at all about any such games being announced or that are currently on store shelves, with the exception of The Beatles: Rock Band.
