Space Invaders Extreme

Space Invaders extreme is kind of like Pac Man Championship Edition. HD graphics of an old school classic with flashy explosions and a techno soundtrack. I love this game! It's hard in an old school way and I can't get the music out of my head.

If you couldn't tell, it's definitely worth the $10.00.

Two Guitar Hero Games

Here's the deal. I'm not a fan of Aerosmith. Some of their songs are all right and their power ballads are torture. But I like Guitar Hero and I like buying games for $7.99 so I bought it. The presentation is very cool. I like the interview clips with the band and it was pretty fun playing through the game. I gotta ask though, what is up with DMC doing Walk This Way and King Of Rock by himself? You can't tell me Run wouldn't have agreed to doing it, I've seen Run's House. Also, I blew through the game in a day. Anyway it was worth $7.99

On to Guitar Hero Metallica. I decided not to buy this game even though I like Metallica. I figured I would run through it as fast as the Aerosmith version but I was wrong. After the first set or two the track listing is awesome. I might actually have to buy this one.

The thing that disappointed me though was that there are no interviews. Why establish that in 'Aerosmith' if you aren't gonna do it to all of the band discs? There is a "pop up video" type commentary on each track which is pretty cool. Overall it's definitely worth buying if you're in to Metallica.

Resident Evil 5

I bought RE5 on the release date and still haven't finished it. I'm currently on level 5-3. I don't know what it is about this game. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I just want to chuck it up on eBay. It plays a lot like RE4 and I think that's my problem. I want a REAL RE game. I don't want some stupid partner that jacks my ammo and doesn't use grenades. I want to solve puzzles in a creepy mansion and kill real zombies that don't have drivers licenses.

Well that's how I feel so far. I'll post again if I ever finish it.

I'll buy any game for $9.99

Well maybe not Rock Revolution, and judging by the amount of copies at Best Buy, I'm not in the minority. I was able to hit that Best Buy sale for $9.99 360 games. The sale was crazy. I got there 5 minutes after it opened and there was a swarm of people there. Needless to say most of the good stuff was gone. I went there for Too Human and just when I thought all hope was lost, I found the last copy hidden behind some wrestling game. Here's a quick rundown of the games I purchased.

Operation Darkness:
It's a weird strategy rpg that has you fighting a war by taking turns in a chess-like battle. The graphics are horrible but I had fun with it for a while. UNTIL I had to start over at the very beginning every time I died. I'm putting this at the bottom of my stack due to the frustration. Probably not worth $9.99

Universe At War:This is my first RTS game and so far it's pretty cool. I kind of have to be in the right mood to play it but I'm having fun with it. Probably worth $9.99


Hellboy: The Science Of Evil
Generic superhero movie tie in. I kind of figured this but sometimes I'm in the mood for some mindless action. Worth $9.99


Fracture:
Third person shooter that lets you alter the terrain by shooting it. Gimmicky but fun. I'm a sucker for halfway decent games with aliens and guns. Worth $9.99

Too Human:Last but not least is Too Human. I knew that I liked this game going in because I rented it before. I love this game. I love the setting, the characters, the cheesy voice acting, the leveling up of characters and the dual analog hack and slash controls. Definitely worth $9.99

I almost forgot. I was able to score You're In The Movies for $9.99 at Amazon with the camera included. This game is very fun with a group of people. You act out what's being shown to you on the screen and at the very end it compiles everything into a cheesy movie trailer. Definitely worth $9.99
