I have two games now that pull my spare time, and I am enjoying both of them immensly.
Both are on my first console (ok, I did have a NES for 5 days in 1991, gave it away when I got a 386sx pc clone), the Xbox *swoons*
1. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: This game is amazing in a playability sense. The game itself isn’t “amazing” in any sense – it follows the Wasteland/Fallout/Baldur’s Gate Bioware model of RPGs. The playability however is breathtaking. I am enjoying myself in RPG ways that I thought were gone! I thought I was too old or out-of-use for RPG games since I didn’t enjoy Baldur’s. The game is just plain fun, and it gets better with playtime. I am up to about 30 hours in and ( for those who are also playing) I am in Manan.
2. Silent Hill 2: Picked up for a song, this older title looked cool because I wanted a fun scary game (this was also due to the influnce of my good friend who also wanted a good scary game). We played it for about 4 or 5 hours Saturday night and only broke off for want of sleep. This game is great and scary and fun. There is a bit in the game that you can tell when the zombies are close due to weird static on a portable radio you have. Oh, and most of game is in the mist, or in dark buildings where you only have a flashlight. FUN. I want to play this game sooo much, but I have to wait for to be available because we have to play it together.
Fun!
