Not even gravity can keep John Rochard down.
Initially I wasn’t sure what to expect from Rochard. Conceptually it comes off as a one note affair -- the imaginative love child of programmers who had way too much fun with the gravity gun from Half-Life 2 and decided to base an entire game around the physics-bending concept. Gravity manipulation certainly is an interesting enough game mechanic, but is it enough to carry an entire game?
What happened to "Nintendo Hard?"
I broke two controllers while playing Mega Man II as a kid. Specifically, I broke two NES controllers playing Heat Man’s level in Mega Man II. Even more specifically, I broke two NES controllers while doing the “Hell Blocks” portion of Heat Man’s level in Mega Man II. That particular stage summed up perfectly what the words Nintendo Hard really meant to me. You needed patience, quickness and the ability to predict the future. It also didn’t hurt to have a couple of extra controllers lying around the house, you know, just in case.
Either shooters have gotten harder or I have gotten worse; my ego is going to go with the former.
Let’s get this out of the way: Hard Corps: Uprising by Arc System Works is hard -- unapologetically hard. All I could think every time I died was that they should have called it Impossible Corps, which made me think of that awful “This is not mission difficult” quote from Mission Impossible II which only made me angrier. To keep the story short, Arc owes me a new controller. Anyways...
The greatest game of the year or an exercise in frustration?
Demon's Souls is an unapologetically hard game. For full disclosure, I have played quite a bit of the game, but have not made very much progress. The title, set in a dark dreary medieval land, is split into levels each being of considerable length. Unlike most modern games, Demon's Souls offers no checkpoints mid-level, even though each level can take upwards of an hour to complete.
