Left 4 Left 4 Dead

Ok so another month is nearly over and my (weekly *guffaw*) video channel remains untouched. Once again a PC title that I have had my eye on for some time has been released, transforming my letterbox from a non-adventure into estimated bills and newsletters, into a golden portal through which hours of entertainment is born. This was towards the end of my weeks holiday which then became a weekend of slaughtering the undead alongside a few online buddies. 6am was my usual time for switching off and turning in, 8am was time to rise and start it all again. In a word "HOLY-CRAP-SHIT-HOT-AWESOME"

What a game!

In other news, YouTube's glowing light fades within the glow of ReviewString.com, my latest project. I hope this will become a full free-time dedication, reviewing everything I and my peers can get our hands on using video, music or plain old-fashioned typing.

Something to look out for.

As for now, Mass Effect has got me hooked and the universe needs me!

Amathyst among the decay.

Let me just open with an apology for the lack of a video this week. I will be doing TWG Weekly every week unless it is simply not possible to get the footage. This has been one of those weeks. Sorry.

Next up, I would just like to say that Fallout 3 is one hell of a game! I loved Oblivion Elder Scrolls and with F3 being guilt on the same engine I can imagine that I will get a lot of entertainment out of this release.

I know that RPG games are not a widely appreciated among the FPS or Strategy gamers out there but I love them. One of the key reasons is the level of immersion. Sure FPS games can be immersive and give you a real sense of self but the fact of the matter is that you are playing a 'character' that has been pre-designed and who has a designated personnality, history and fate. Far Cry 2 is a prime example. Sure the animations are top notch and you can relate to the character as well as any other shooter hero. You can relate to them, but you cannot BE them.

Anyway, this kind of talk really doesn't belong here. Still, I mention it because the release of the 2 aforementioned games are one of the factors to blame for my absence from YouTube, work being the other.

Finally, I just wanted to let you know that I sorted out this blog so that you don't have to be a Blogspot/Blogger member to post comments anymore. I hope to hear from some of you soon.
