I'm feeling pretty blah today. Usually I keep to myself for the most part, but today I feel like talking. Unfortunately, I don't really fit in with the humans. I could care less about what most of them seem interested in, and they don't understand half of what I'm interested in. I can't wait for a new season of TV so I at least have something I can chat with the humans about.
I've started playing Dead Rising again. The game is pretty cool, which shouldn't be surprising seeing as how this game was responsible for destroying so many first gen 360s. I was surprised that it is still apparently pretty popular. I looked up the guide book on amazon.com, and they are asking $75 for a used one and $99 for a new one. I just can't fathom that. It originally sold for about $15. I like to collect the guidebooks for games I like, but I'll probably have to do without on this one.
I finished Clive Barker's Jericho over the weekend. I wouldn't really say that I was horrified. The story was okay, and the setting was full of blood and mutilated bodies, but I can't say it was horrific. It definitely didn't immerse me like Bioshock. That game scared the crap out of me. That said, I did enjoy Jericho, but I believe it fell short of it's true potential. What I liked best about it was the ability to switch between characters with completely different abilities. From time to time, it would force you to play certain characters, and I actually learned to like a few that I hadn't used previously. My major gripe comes from the ending. It was almost non-existant. There was a boss fight that left me feeling disappointed and then they ran the credits. I like an ending to at least resolve the immediate situation. I would say that this game is good for a rental, but probably not worth a purchase.
