The gaming diary

I just finished Resistance 2, which I'm happy about because it was an absolutely terrible game.

I just don't get what happened with that series. It has pretty much everything going for me; a setting I would normally enjoy, gameplay I normally find fun, by a developer I really like. And yet every game in the series just put me off, and I got bored and frustrated with them.  It was so weird to have to admit to myself that I just couldn't find enjoyment playing them.

Doesn't help that I enjoy the Halo series so, so much. Which leaves me open to a bit of ridicule. But hey, some games just strike all the right chords for us, and others have the notes but just sound cacophonous.

Nah man, I totally agree. I didn't think the first Resistance was too bad, especially for a launch title, but this one was just not fun at all and filled with cheap deaths and forced repetition.

And I mean, I'm not a fan boy either way, but if this and Killzone are the premier shooters on the platform, then it's just a sad state, because Killzone 2 was also obnoxious.

i liked both killzone 2 and resistance 2...though killzone not so much. i do prefer the style of the first resistance game better, though the third one was done pretty well i thought. the only issue with the third one was that it was too different...mainly from there being no nathan hale. but i liked the atmosphere of it much better than the first 2, and the move support with the sharpshooter worked pretty well, i played the whole game with it.

saying that though i can understand not liking it though, it's not the best, i just personally enjoyed it.

Finally finished Portal 2...a few of the last puzzles are ridiculous. Played another level in LA Noire as well. Forgot how great that is.

I loved Killzone 2.  I spent hundreds of hours in multiplayer, too.


I've been playing Gran Turismo 5.  Dozens and dozens of hours of GT5.

Started in on Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.  I've been asking my wife to get me one of the Professor Layton games for years.  She finally got me this one for christmas.  I am enjoying it so far.  Fun little puzzle games, some of them challenging.  Works the brain.

You oughta try playing Pocket Fighters next.

Good luck finding a copy of it, though.

As for myself: I've been playing the Wii U version of Skylanders Giants using the screen pad control configuration, and I like it better than the original Wii's control setup, except for the "shooter" segments. Methinks I'll give the classic controller pro configuration a go next...

Someone is letting me borrow Steel Battalion. I've never played it before but can't wait to try.
