Now Playing: September 28 - October 4, 2009

While I burned out on L4D quite a few months ago, I'm definitely firing up Steam again for this new (and likely final) addition to the L4D scenario lineup. Kind of cool that they're having it tie in between two of the existing ones as well, although the game was never about story so much.

Another title I'm looking forward to on the PC is the release of Risen on Friday. I've always really enjoyed Piranha Byte's Gothic franchise, even though the third one really tested my faith with a horrifically unoptimized and untested retail release, issues which the patching process failed to rectify to an acceptable state. Risen appears to be a sort of re-imagining of Gothic, so I'm hoping for a solid RPG experience.

Failing that, I'm prepared for crushing disappointment.

I noticed Excitebots went up 95,000% yesterday on Amazon, least...that's what it was when I went to bed. Almost bought it myself but I figure I'm just gonna buy Mario Kart anyway so I'll get the wheel there.

Dead Space is a rail shooter priced at the top-end of the Wii scale without the name recognition of a House of the Dead, so I'm not too sure whether it will move a tremendous amount of units during its first week or so. As the weeks roll along the game will probably sustain a relatively low level of sales, eventually building up into something that could be deemed a success.

Hopefully the game is successful as new players in the rail shooter genre are always welcome, even if it is EA.

Yay more tweenie bopper music not to listen to!

Do you work for them or something, or are you just unhealthily obsessed. You've posted like ... 8 times about this crap. We get it... DLC... whoopdido.

supposed to be a reply to curtis.

Isn't that why people pay for an annual Live subscription? I remember the fanboys saying that MS had it right because they charged consumers not developers like Sony for bandwidth. At the time I said that MS actually charged both ... no one would listen. Heh.

Live is for the online multiplayer, not the content. The fact is we had some free DLC and then they tried charging for it and people bought it, and continue to buy payed DLC in addition to live no matter how much of a rip off it is, so they're gonna keep doing it.

I am shocked that DSG was upstaged by the PSP Go. I was expecting some a joke or a funny photoshop in honor of her official release.

i hate the turning in Cursed Mountain! everytime a ghost approached me at full speed i would TRY to turn around to run from so that there would be a good distance from me and the ghost but EVERYTIME i tried to turn it would just keep turning in circles for quite a bit (not more then 5 seconds though) and the ghost would hit me. having this contently happen as well as getting jumped by two or three of them really turned me off and i decided to sell the game (at Gamestop). lucky for me i got about 20$ for it and used that to purchase Muramasa the demon blade which didn't disappoint me at all.

to run from= to run from it

dammit what is with me these days?!
