For part of the weekend I managed to tear myself away from Prinny and try this out. Seems good, actually, but after the tightness and perfection of Prinny, it’s bound to suffer in comparison. The top-down view was a hugely intelligent decision and the game seems to have been made with quite a lot of

Tried out the online multiplayer on Saturday morning. It’s a good time, because my net connection is pretty good then, unlike weekday evenings. Didn’t spot any lag, was impressed by everything else. Had great fun, went up a couple of ranks and ended up with a kill ratio of 0.81. That might sound rubbish to

Completed this last night. I was fearing that the final boss would make me hate the game, but he was fine. Took a good few attempts to kill, yes, but he wasn’t annoying with it. Thank goodness for surround sound, though. I have no idea how you’d keep track of him in stereo. Anyway, the

Mostly, this was just as excellent last night as it had been previously. However, I found one short bit that raised an eyebrow. You sit in a mounted gun emplacement firing at enemies. Which is all fine and fun. However, I kept dying without warning. I’d be firing and killing the guys, then I’d be

Traded in some old games on Friday and picked up Killzone 2 and Halo Wars. Halo Wars hasn’t got a look in yet, because I’ve been enjoying Killzone 2 way too much. It’s my kind of shooter, a game where the actual shooting is the core of the experience. There’s not much of a story

Still playing this. You know why? Because it’s great, that’s why. I thoroughly enjoy every trip I take through the demo and it’s not got old yet, despite the number of times I’ve played it. Lovely stuff.

Another run through the demo last night. It was awesome again. Loved it. Such a turnaround. Maybe more people would be wanting to buy this if they’d made the demo longer, because it certainly seems to need some play before it clicks.

Blimey. This clicked last night. Like, properly clicked. I put the sensitivity options up one notch each, which may have helped, but I don’t really know why last night it clicked when it hadn’t before. But I loved it. I was using tactics, taking headshots, spraying fire for control purposes, using grenades to flush enemies

Tried this again. Upped the sensitivity of the controls a bit, which made it feel a little nicer. What’s up with that dead zone, though? It’s huge! Anyway, I got to the beach landing, which I did first time on my first play through and died about twenty times before giving up. No idea what

Took about six hours to download, so had to play it this morning before work. Good thing it’s short. I like almost everything about it. The guns feel right, enemies aren’t bullet sponges, good feedback for showing how close to death you are and it looks good (if a bit dismal and dull). The one
