The Clean Up 3.0 (Part Two)

Afternoon,
Took a lot longer to get this pile started but it is now finally happening, last time I attempted to start this pile I got hit with a 2.7GB update which took all night to download and install. This time I'm going to start with the Xbox games instead and do the PlayStation ones last just in case something comes up again.

First up will be Wartech Senko Ronde which is a Japanese anime mech fighting game sorta like Zone of the Enders if I can remember right, been a few years since I picked it up. The back of the box looks like Zone of the Enders anyway but time will tell.

What the hell! it's a fighting game as in one on one with health bars, you know Tekken/Street Fighter style but uses mechs instead. The Combat sort reminds me of the side scrollers in a way but I hate these type of games, so no guess where this game is going. Very unhappy with myself for not testing this game before and not noticing on the back of the box the health bars.

Next up is Rage which I was in two minds about at GAMEFest last year, let's see if I can get a better impression this time around (Picked up the game cheap in the January sales).

So all I remember of this game was it's a first person shooter set in a ruined earth style world with mutants and some kind of army not liking me. Will give you the run down of the story from the back of the game box.

"After an asteroid impacts Earth, humanity attempts to rebuild. Sheltered in cryogenic lifeboats, survivors emerge years after impact to a devastated planet where some of mankind survived in struggling settlements or murderous bandit clans, while horrific mutants roam the dead cities. And a mysterious tyrannical government is on the hunt... for you"

Sounds good but will have to see how the game turns out, as I said at GAMEFest the demo did not really jump out at me.

Very impressed with the game with what I played at the start, it's basically a shooter with rpg elements so inventory, quests etc so yes like Fallout but more heavily on the shooter side. Good game and what I played was a lot better then that demo so I will be keeping this game. Going to try Wolfenstein next since shooters are easy to try out and quicker, not a big fan of horror but I use to play Wolfenstein 3D and Return to Castle Wolfenstein a long time ago.

Opening cinematic as a super spy escaping off a German boat then use a supernatural medallion he finds to vapourise the soldiers. He escapes and now is being sent to find the origins of this medallion which of course is in Germany, not so sure about this story it's not gripping me so far. Hopefully the game play is better although I got feeling maybe it won't.

Well I was wrong after all, it's not a bad shooter after all and I do like my first person shooters. I think the real test will be when I get further into the game and hit the supernatural parts, but for now I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt and keep it. Going to jump onto Tropico 3 next which should be interesting, I do like my simulator type games but never really played anything like this. I play more stuff like Age of Empires, Command and Conquer and so on. To be honest I had forgot that I even owned this game and I remember looking into the fourth one around Christmas time.

I'm half way through the tutorial and I'm bored, it's not a bad game but just not interested in it at all. It's city building and I prefer city building with armies and having fun exploring, Settlers to name one series or Civilisation. Anyway it's going into the trade in pile to join Wartech, so I'm going to end this post now since it's got quite long and finish off the last few games on a second post.

Hope you all enjoying these posts, catch you soon
