Reviews upcoming

Filed under: Uncategorized — thinkempire @ 1:13 am

I figured it’d be easier for me to manage some reviews if I made a list, so here it is.

Upcoming reviews:

Rock Band
Assassin’s Creed
NHL 2k8
Resistence: Fall of Man

And a few more I can’t recall. Keep checking back!


Promises!

So, seriously. I promise — reviews, updates and such coming soon.

I am, however, currently entrenched in my guiltiest pleasure — Gilmore Girls.

Yes, the wife’s copies of the first three seasons sit somewhere near my copies of movies like The Wedding Singer, Final Fantasy: Advent Children, A Scanner Darkly and Orgazmo.

I picked up NHL 2k8 and Resistence: Fall of Man the other day at BlockBuster, expect something on them sometime short.

Coming soon!

Throw in marriage, moving and family holidays and you’ll find that all of your free time simply vanishes.

But, in lieu of my great unemployment, I’ve been playing a lot of games, especially for my our new PlayStation 3.

So far under my belt, I’ve beaten Uncharted and Stuntman: Ignition, given up on Heavenly Sword, own both Rock Band and Assassin’s Creed and I’m currently stumbling around on-line getting killed a lot in Warhawk. And with a weekend ahead of me, I’m looking to review all but Warhawk, and maybe even do an extensive write-up on Tabula Rasa, since everyone else is doing it.

Wonder if they got fired…

It's a childhood murder simulation!

The image above is a screenshot that I took when I noticed something interesting–if you click on the image, it’ll take you to a bigger picture. If you look closely, on the right pane of the ‘Games’ folder in Windows Vista, many games (as long as the installation package installed the game and corresponding shortcut) will show the game’s required/recommended game rating in comparison to your system’s rating, in addition to the actual ESRB rating.

For those playing at home, you’ll see that Unreal Tournament 3 has earned an ESRB rating of E, meaing the game possesses “content that may be suitable for ages 3 and older. Contains no material that parents would find inappropriate.”

Looks like my copy of UT3 has me shooting rainbows and unicorn giggles isntead of rockets and flak shells.
