NOW PLAYING: LEFT 4 DEAD, CoD WaW and FALLOUT3
I’ve been away for a few days hence the pre-recorded podcasts and tiny updates from my iPhone. Now that I’m back home, there’s more game time. This morning I decided to give Left 4 Dead (PC) another go. I’m just bumming through single player at this stage since my early attempts to play online failed to elicit much fun. I surprised myself by playing through several levels in one sitting, so I think I’ve probably committed myself to playing for a little longer at least. When I go back to work I’ll try playing with real people again but single player will do for now.
Since finally being able to sample World at War online on PC, I’ve decided that although its fun, I’ll probably stick to 360 for multiplayer. There are just no servers running Team Deathmatch for this game unless you want Friendly Fire and Hardcore rules- which I don’t. I never get why PC gamers hate fun so much. It’s like “Hey let me buy you a ticket to Disneyland,” and they’re all “Only if we go when its really busy and really hot and make sure we go on only the rides with the longest queues.”
Fallout 3 has been started. Yes I envisage myself getting about 25% of the way through this game before I give up but since this game is so huge, I don’t think that will be a huge problem. It’s already more fun than Oblivion but that’s possibly down to the more SF backdrop. Cyrodil was a nice place to visit but I woouldn’t want to live there. Washington DC doesn’t look that much better but at least there’s no ‘Wayne’s World’ style zoom-ins everytime I talk to an NPC.
