Game Addiction Blog

Hey there site. Been awhile hasn’t it? How you been? uhuh…okay..yeah that sucks…hey look I didn’t ask for your life story.

As for me I’ve spent the last week at the hospital with tubes in my veins and getting all kinds of crap injected most of which is a bunch of fungus that apparently can kill bacteria. I hear they call it penicillin, in an effort to stem of a severe skin infection on my leg. So yeah it’s obviously been a week of hell for me. I finally got out of the hospital last night but I still have some recovery time ahead of me. My leg is covered with damaged tissue that needs replacing so it’s all falling apart. Doctor said that I will have to remain lying on the bed with my leg raised as much as possible for at least two more weeks probably more.

If hadn’t gone to the doctors when I did I would eventually the bacteria would have gotten into my blood stream and I could have died. So I urge you to see the doctor if your leg gets bloated and has reddish areas covering it and you get a high fever.

Anyways illness aside.

I’ve been spending my time playing Shadow complex lately and I gotta say it is quite good. It feels like I’m playing a blend between Super Metroid and Bionic commando which is a very good combination. The area in this game is enormous. I’ve been playing for nearly four hours and I’ve only covered just over half of it so far. It has some very pretty graphics, especially for a downloadable game very much like Trine..but it’s totally different environment so they are pretty each in their own way.

I believe I will make an effort to try to get it over and done with today since I’ll be stuck lying on the bed anyways…At least some good comes of this.

I haven’t gotten my hands on Arkham asylum even though I really really really really want it. But alas it costs money and the drugs I had to buy yesterday were expensive.

But I will get it..I have to, I must, I need, I desire, MINE GIMMEEEE!

Here are two of the highlights I’ve seen from the GDC event thus far.

Yet another Batman Arkham Asylum video:

There’s a reason I’ve posted three videos of this game, it’s because each of these videos I’m seeing make me more and more anxious about the game.

And then there is the mystery game I personally haven’t heard about before called Prototype.

It’s a sandbox type game where you play a man with some crazy special abilities, such as the ability to go into your opponent and actually use him to fool the others and even turn the others against another soldier.

From the gameplay elements I’ve seen it’s going to be kind of like playing Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, he has superhuman strength and can throw cars and beat up tanks…which is awesome fun.

I can’t write anymore I’m heading out to work in a few so I’ll just leave you with these drool worthy videos.

So just the other day Resident evil 5 hit the shelves. I’m not sure if I’ll be picking it up since I’m rather broke and I’m trying my very best to keep expenditure down.

Not to say that I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on RE5 and I probably will at some point. But the thing is I lack a viable Co-op partner for the game and I haven’t even finished RE4. While I find RE4 a good game I’ve always been a bigger fan of the older puzzle solving games, RE2 is the best in my opinion. I’m a little nostalgic like that with some series, such as in the Legend of Zelda Franchise, my favorite is Link to the past. I could never really get into the 3D games such as Ocarina of Time despite it’s critical acclaim and success..

Apart from WoW, I’ve been doing moderate gaming this past week. I’ve spent a few hour swinging around in Spider-man: Web of Shadows. Which is a pretty good game. Defiantly the best Spider-man game I’ve played in recent times, although swinging around the city is incredibly fun my motion sickness tends to kick in if I do it for too long. It took me years to get up enough tolerance towards motion to play games such as Unreal Tournament and Half life.

I tried out the demo for the new Riddick game. It’s not bad. I never played the first one(although I had heard good things about it) so I can’t judge if it’s better or worse. Was kind of like when I was playing Thief back in the day. It has a lot to do with keeping hidden and staying in the shadows because as far as direct assault with a gun goes, Riddick gets his ass handed too him pretty easily.

I’ve already started planning for next years Digital Overload and I’ve already registered and payed for myself, I’m gonna see if I can’t pull together enough money before then. It should be possible, but due to my low paying job we’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out.

I never delivered on that Street Fighter IV write up I was planning…Sometimes I just don’t feel like doing any writing, it happens and I’m sorry.

I’d like to add that I’m currently drooling over

I seriously can’t wait until this game comes. It looks AWESOME!
