Current games thread!

Well Black has come out, and it's getting quite the mixed reviews. Most bitching about it 'not having a jump button' and 'no multiplayer'. The game was created for a SINGLE PLAYER experience, not for lame ass multiplayer which every other FPS out there has (so why add another to the crowded genre? instead they wanted to make a game that was a single player fps). Oh, and supposedly it's quite short (clocking in at 8 levels).

Anyways, i'm currently playing the game, and don't have any complaints yet. Although it IS 8 levels, they're quite long in length, and VERY challenging (more due to the lack of checkpoints, etc)

The visuals are gorgeous, but what do you expect from Criterion. It's also nice to see many locations similar to stuff you've seen in big name action flics (they were done on purpose that way). My personal favorite is the bathroom/shower gun fight in the asylum level (which is based on the gunfight in the shower in The Rock)

I'm also playing Ninja Gaiden Black on normal difficulty, and some random songs in Pop N' Music 12.

I'm currently waiting for Ghost Recon 3, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, and Shadow Hearts 3 which all come out THIS WEEK! n_n
