Fragging Place

Archive for the ‘Gamer Addict’ Category

The last time I ever played a Remedy game I was running around old school style comics putting holes through hoodlums in bullet time. However, now thanks to Remedy I’ve gone from the dark sticky nights of New York City to crazy back woods deer hunting yokel town of Bright Falls. Nothing about this town is bright I might add. Well maybe except for the old guy with the eye patch rocking out to Coconut. Which I now find myself now singing “She put de lime in de coconut, she drank ‘em bot’ up” at random intervals throughout the day, very addicting song.

In a way Alan Wake reminds me a little bit of Jack Nicholson’s character in the Shinning. Well, minus the creepy kid who likes writing on doors backwards with lipstick, anorexic wife with snot bubbles and that he drinks imaginary JD while talking to a creepy ghost bartender named Loyd. OK maybe there are a lot of differences but the whole stressed out writers block attitude, while being stuck out in the middle of nowhere is all the same.

So far it’s an awesome game that will defiantly go into my list of treasured games.

Maybe I will be the only person that gets this image…. I can’t stop laughing though it’s the first thing that popped into my head when I was writing this post.

I loved the first Bioshock, played it over a dozen times over and still couldn’t get enough of it. Now there is Bioshock 2 and I must admit I like it even more then the first one. It’s…. in a word a lot more “comfortable” to play. The mechanics are nice and the battles are hard earned, specially when dealing with a Big Sister or protecting your little sister. Protecting takes on a whole new meaning though when you can set up multiple traps that go above and beyond just killing splicers (FUN).

My favorite times in the game though are when I have a little sister. They are more interactive then ever and fun to listen too. So far my favorite lines are…

“MMMM, Marshmallows”

”Daddy’s giving you Star’s and Birdie’s”

“Don’t make Daddy angry”

“Angel belly, my belly, who belly, your belly.”  -  Reminds me of the ice cream song!

Talk about delivering the goods. Borderlands said they would give us down-loadable content and so they have.. unlike some games…but that’s a dead horse rant for another day. As for Borderlands, I fragging love it!

Even without the extra content I doubt I would bored with it. The characters are entertaining, the voice acting doesn’t make me want to punch my speakers and the leveling isn’t insanely long and intensive like some  games out there where you have to dedicate your entire being into it just to get to level 50.  Best part about it is the guns! I LOVE the guns, specially the shotgun class. Nothing says loving like a shotgun in your face.

To sum it all up the game is satisfying. The Co-Op is one of the best I’ve ever had the privilege of playing and I have played AL LOT of Co-Op games.

I LOVE CLAPTRAPS!!!
