I was looking at traditional games on Xbox the other day. I saw chess but couldn't bring myself to get it. Now, if it were battle chess, or star wars battle chess, that's another story. What would be excellent is a chess/rpg mashup. I want that.
I can't think of 360 and PS3 as retro quite yet. I want to hook them up right now but I don't have room, yet. I've got quite a backlog on both systems.
Horror fans should play Condemned: Criminal Origins. I'm not a horror fan but played it achievement hunting one year and really loved it. Fighting hand-to-hand in that game is really scary and visceral. Story is good too.
I saw it kind of on a whim. There's actually some quite disturbing stuff in Vice that I thought about later. It's definitely dark comedy.
I played the heck out of Valiant Hearts when it came out. I've considered replaying it. I think I'm missing one or two achievements. I think WWI starts in 1914.
On their Trilogy album, one of my favorites of theirs.
I was playing Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments on Xbox and it was surprisingly good. It was a little more than just a point-and-click adventure. I was thrilled to clean a photographic plate for one clue and put in a cylinder in a gramaphone to hear another one. The whole game is in the period and you ride in a carriage to get to different areas and to provide time for loading. I thought it was neat that while riding in the carriage you could look at your clues and form deductions. It's a great way to break things up and make loading sequences more bearable.
I am apparently a tease and enjoy a gentile trolling now and then. I'm not sure who's more amused by it, my victims or me. Probably just me, but I always hope it's a mutual thing.
I love the Q/A posts! Those are fun.
I need to try that Ace Attorney.
So want to. As soon as I'm back up and working FT again. I'm kind of burning out on this school thing.
This month marks my sixth year here too. Yikes how time flies.
Oh man, Inferno. That gets brutal in EDF. I only cleared a few levels at that difficulty. Great for farming drops though, if you can complete the level.
