First Impressions: Dead Space

For the first time in the past month and a half, I actually played some video games this past weekend. I settled in with Dead Space and strategically dismembered the game's first four chapters. Dead Space is creepy and chock-full of jump scares. And if I was playing on a difficulty setting higher than "Easy", I'd probably have died much more than I did. It's hard to defend yourself against a necromorph when your controller's laying on the floor and you're hiding in the other room.

Here's the story....

I've been away for a while. I haven't been playing many games at all. In fact, last night's 10 minutes session of Flower on my PS3 is the first gaming I've done in 2010. I wanted to focus on my online poker hobby a bit more this year in the hopes of becoming a better player and making more money.

Easier said than done, of course.

Vacationing on Pandora

Still alive and still playing Borderlands. I can't see any other game coming along to keep me away from this game. I'm loving it!

I've worked my Hunter to Level 31. I've just entered the Trash Coast and looking forward to more killing, looting, and helping out the under-privileged on the savage planet of Pandora.

First Impressions: Borderlands

I try my best to put up my first impressions for most games that I play. These "first impressions" usually show up on this site within a day or two of my first couple of sessions with a new game. Last Friday, Borderlands arrived in my mailbox. And since then, I've done very little else in my spare time than play Borderlands. I've been playing so much that I haven't had time to write anything about the game.

In a nutshell? Borderlands is awesome!
