A Little Scribblenauts
April 22, 2014 by Adam in Adam's Games
I played a little Scribblenauts Unlimited. I always try to do accomplish the task laid out for me using the most weird objects possible.
If you're curious about my conversation with Sam, it's because he's playing a pirate game and prostitutes can be hired to distract guards.

Old School
April 18, 2014 by Adam in Adam's Games
Sam's making me play Shadow of the Colossus. It's supposedly one of the best games from the PS2 era. So far so good. It took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do, though getting dropped in a world without much of a clue should prepare me well for Dark Souls 2. The latter comes out next week, and will likely be as exhilarating and frustrating as the original.

Endings
April 05, 2014 by Adam in Adam's Games
 I've been playing the Bioshock and System Shock games for a couple decades now. I'd describe them as a thinking person's shooter. Yes, there are monsters and aliens and lots of guns, but there's also Objectivism and the nature of games. The characters are compelling and the endings are somewhat emotional.
The studio that made them has closed down and they wrapped up the last of their stories. It's possible the series may come back in some form, but it sure felt like the end of a story. It was a strange tale, full of tragedy, but with elements of hope.
There are some other games I've tinkered with - Metro: Last Light, the Far Cry 3 coop multiplayer with Sam, and a little more Space Engineers. Nothing is too compelling. Dark Souls 2 comes out in a few weeks, and I suspect that will consume me for a good long while. I expect tears and cries of exultation.
