    Journey - Way overdue on this one. I played it at my friend's place. It was...something. The only thing that will probably stick with me about it is the look/art direction of the whole thing and how the multiplayer works. 

     

    My friend remarked how differently we both played through the game. He took his time and collected a lot of the shiny bits while I just kind of tore through it, but that's how I play most games.

    If you plan to at least check this out, it's addicting as hell. Even more so if you and a friend(s) are watching and betting at the same time while on mumble or something.

    I'll probably be the odd man out on this one but I LOVE the combat model in Monster Hunter. It's not the deepest in terms of move sets but the weapons all work differently. At first I hated the animation times and being locked into them, but it teaches you to really think about what you're doing, you need to by aware of what the monster is doing and how long you have to get off a certain combo. Add breakable parts on monsters and you have some really satisfying tactical combat.

    You never really get to appreciate the grandeur of its space faring Gothic architecture from the miniatures or RTS games.

    This is spot on. The game really reaches for that "epic" feeling (I hate using that word but everything in Warhammer is BIG AND EPIC) but it never really achieves it. Perhaps the most disappointing of these epic moments is when you get the Titan all powered up

    and it doesn't even get out of the hanger. It just blows its load on the orbital spire and then overloads due to the chaos spark.

    The sequence leading up to powering it up I was nerding out because I wanted to see it kick some ass.

    If/when the sequel comes hopefully they can capture that Warhammer feeling better.

    I just finished Space Marine about 20 minutes ago. A very middle of the road game that I wouldn't of even bothered to finish if it weren't for the fact that it's a Warhammer game. The last act or so is a bit of a slog and the final battle is pretty disappointing. Who knows what will happen to the sequel now that THQ is being cannibalized or whatever.

    I tried and tried, but I just couldn't get into The Witcher or The Witcher 2. I understand why people like them and I think they're important games, they're just not my jam at this point in my life. I'll probably approach this one cautiously.
