Lets start this with a little background. Monster High is a Mattel property focused towards, what I am guessing, young girls. More on it can be found at the official site. Seeing that I do not have any kids this made reviewing Monster High: Skultimate Roller Maze for the Wii and DS a tough order. It is obviously not pointed towards me, but I enjoy a challenge. So I popped the game in and started my first journey into this world of teen monsters.You heard that right folks. From today until 11/26 Steam is doing their infamous daily sales. God save our wallets and bank accounts.
Bungie is done with Halo, mainly because Microsoft owns the brand. Now 343 Industries has the reigns of the series. Halo is much loved by gamers the world over. It revolutionized the console based FPS (although some may argue that). That means that 343 has some pretty damn big shoes to fill. Failure is not an option. If they do not make a perfect game then no one will trust them in the future. So did they succeed in making a not just a good, but a new legacy? Or are people going to march on Microsoft with torches and pitchforks demanding that they relinquish the title back to Bungie?
Do you like Star Wars? Of course you do, who doesn't (opening a whole can on worms on that one). Then do you like free stuff? Again, easy answer on that one. In that case then you should be happy to hear that BioWare and EA have released the Free-to-Play version of Star Wars: The Old Republic today! So if you never played it when it came out last year, or want to visit some old friends now is your time. Long time meat bag fans of the BioWare Star Wars games will also be glad that, as of today, you will be able to get the deadly HK-51 Assassin Droid. This is in addtion to a new area, the prison world of Belsavis along with a the new Operation: Explosive Conflict on Denova (complete with nightmare mode). So prime that blaster and polish your lightsaber crystals (you think OCD Jedi/Sith do that?) and enjoy the game.
Corvo Attano has regained his honor. He has de-throned those that killed his Empress and placed her daughter on the throne. But how did he do it? How did he move from prisoner to savior? Did he become a murderer? Or did he leave his foes alive, but potentially in a much worse situation? Read on in this edition of Game Over for the process, and my opinion of how it all ended. BEWARE OF SPOILERS!It would not be geekdom if someone had not made a Halo 4 music video and the day it came out. So with that I give you "Glad You Came". A parody by The Warped Zone.
With Halo 4 coming out tomorrow with a brand new ultimate evil for you to fight I felt it would be good if I posted at least one thing about it. So here is the official long form trailer for the highly anticipated game.
Curse you video game industry. The majority of your blockbuster hits all seem to come out around the same time. I know that the holiday season is important to make sales, but would it be possible to spread things out a little more? I am still working on Borderlands 2 and Fable: The Journey. Then Assassin's Creed III just came out last week which I have barley played. Now Halo 4 comes out tomorrow, which due to the fantastic job Microsoft did with Forward Unto Dawn mini series I am actually more excited about then I was before. I don't have the time to get and play all these great games.
