Atmosfear is the best board game series of all time, and this a fact that can be proven with science. I never had Atmosfear II as a kid (we had The Harbingers) but every now then I get bored and check out old footage of the VHS tapes on Youtube and watching Baron Samedi makes me almost wish that was the version of the game I had. A zombie demanding lip service is something that deserves respect.
Speaking of lip service, we played some videogames this week. Would you like to see what ones they were? Hit the jump then, you silly little scamp!
Chester:
Finished playing theUncharted 2single player for review, and since I’m not held to any embargo on that one, here’s what I’ll say: It was excellent. More details in the review, after I can convince the crew at Naughty Dog to play some multiplayer with me. Regardless of the review (or even how good… or bad) the multiplayer is, I can highly recommend the game to anyone who owns a PlayStation 3 and likes action games. you’re able to’t get much better.
Sterling:Still playingRock Band Unplugged, which has basically become my jam, along with intermittent spats ofCrazy Taxi, which really isn’t all that fantastic.
Mainly though, I’ve been playingDemon’s Souls. That game justifies the saying, “forewarned is forearmed.” Having already been prepared by Dale and others for the game’s grinding one-step-forward-two-steps-
I never thought I would type that sentence.
I will have more on my first-time experience with the game unspoken in retro fan circles in a feature later this week, but I will say this: The Covenant and The Flood really hate each other. Am I right? raises hand for hardcore gamer high-five Guys?
What a weird week.
Otherwise, I’m still addicted to theUncharted 2multiplayer beta/demo. I’m up to level 21 now! On the sports end of things, I finally cleared enough PS3 hard drive space to be able to install and begin playing my review copy ofNBA Live 10. It’s damn solid so far, and the atmosphere is what stands out the most. I’ve never played a sports game where the crowd has made its presence felt like it does inLive 10. I’m going to have to play some more before I can discuss the finer points of gameplay, but so far, it’s much better than it’s been in years past. Finally, I made it to the 2011 World Series inMLB 09 The Show; my Yankees are facing off against the Phillies, and Samit Sarkar is slated to start Game 4!
So random gaming, and no new games at all!
The first level ofDomino Rallyis called “No one can stop Mr Domino”, and for that reason alone, I’m glad that I own it. The game also borrows heavily fromKatamari Damacywhen it comes to the way it looks and sounds, which pleases me a great deal. Unfortunately, I beat the whole game in less than three hours, which hurts quite a bit. Still, if weird low budget Japanese games are your thing, you could do a lot worse.
Finally, still stuck inYou, Me and the Cubes. This game is HARD!
