It's been Awhile: Update

I have to apologize for the hiatus again. Everytime I think I able to come back and start writing, I get caught up with school or track. It really hasn't been that long but to me it seems like its been light years since I posted something. Hopefully since its finals week and about to go on summer break, I'll get a lot more time to post and game a little more than I have been. 

Gaming wise, I picked up a couple games when I went to Gamestop. I had not been to one since Christmas when I went to go pick up Dark Souls. But I was feeling down so I needed some games to cheer me up. Instead of going for one new game, I bought 5 cheaper old games. I picked up Dark Sector, Skate, Forza 2, Enchanted Arms and Red Faction: Guerrilla. I have only dipped my toes into Skate and Red Faction. They seem really good. I haven't played a skating game since Tony Hawk 2. As for Red Faction, I heard good things and its alot better apparently then Armageddon. Forza 2 and Enchanted Arms I am holding off on till I clear out some of my backlog. 

I have gotten really into Dark Sector. I picked it up for like a dollar and it is surprisingly fun. Yes it is a Gears of War rip-off and not as polished. But it has fun factor, it's a generic third person shooter with a bad-ass boomerang. Watching some of the reviews, it got knocked for being a GOW rip but I don't necessarily think that is really a problem. I love GOW so if a game wants to try to use that formula to match that, I won't mind. Its not going to be my favorite game of all time but I'm having fun with it and it was a couple bucks so I can't complain.

The story is....I have no idea what is going. I am pretty far in the game so hopefully I will have that done by this week. I will probably do an impression blog of it, I think it deserves a little more acknowledgement than what it gets.

My sister, gf, and roommate decided to go at in Super Smash Brawl, and I must say Super Smash is one of my favorite series. I love the character selection and Brawl is pretty balanced. We also start Gauntlet Dark Legacy last night and ended up dungeon crawling for 5 hours. I just get lost it that game too much fun. 

Well that has been the general gaming updates of my life. I asked out my girlfriend on May the Fourth because we both are star wars nerds. I thought it was appropriate  School is finishing up and I just secured a one bedroom place for next semester so that'll be fun living by myself. i need to find a nice couch and a nice surround sound system for my gaming. I might buy a bigger tv or a projector. 

I am going to end it on that note because I don't to lollygag and have more word vomit. I honestly don't know how people feel about reading longer blogs. I enjoy them and I enjoy reading everyone's updates, those might be my favorites. Hope to be on here a lot more and able to get to know everyone in the community more and get some friendships going on. HAPPY GAMING!!

My brother has Dark Sector. I played it a little bit and thought it was fun. I might have to see if I can borrow it sometime. Super Smash Bros. is one of my favorite fighting games series too. We put countless hours into Melee. Congrats on the new place!

Yea Dark Sector is one of those games that you play through in one weekend just for fun. SSMB is so much fun, its so simple that it has a deep fighting system but is always fun. And thanks I am real excited.

I've heard Dark Sector is pretty good.  If it was on PC I probably would have picked it up during a steam sale. 

That's awesome you're moving into your own place.  That should be a lot of fun.

I would definitely not spend anything over 5 dollars for Dark Sector. It is fun but not worth more than a couple bucks. Those steam sales, where backlogs feed. 

I am really looking forward to my own place and I can finally just game as long and as loud as I want. I'll definitely have pictures down the road to show my gaming setup hopefully.

"The story is....I have no idea what is going. I am pretty far in the game".....


This made me crack up quite a bit, thanks, lol.

But I liked Dark Sector from what I played a while ago. Like you said, it's not the best game, but it's far from the worst game as well!

As long as I have a good time with a game, I believe that game was worth it.
