Nothing is scarier than hearing the buzz of a chainsaw

Oh my gosh that is so true. Just hearing that noise from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre made me change the channel. Yeah I know, I'm a guy and I'm a wimp but I'm just not that much into scary movies anyway. But that's not what this blog is about. An equally horrible encounter is from this years new installment of Resident Evil.

Resident Evil 5 takes place not long after the events of Resident Evil 4. I being the Resident Evil nerd that I am read all of the history bits during the game as well as the timeline in the extras menu I believe. To me this story really ties all of the previous games together. Umbrella may be gone, but it really wasn't the big picture to begin with. I don't want to spoil it too much for ya so you'll just have to explore the details on your own.

Things I can reveal however are the overall ratings of the game. Now I'm not a top notch reviewer, but I do try to look at things objectively so I'll give it my best try. Before I get into the details I give this game a NINE out of ten. I have several reasons to back my opinion. First of all the gameplay is quite amazing. At first I thought the aiming was sluggish and cumbersome, but after playing through the game once you really do get good at it. This was a similar adaptations I built up during RE4. The story line was excellent, with many twists in the story that makes you feel like you need to get to the bottom of it. The enemies move a little faster than RE4 and this builds on the intensity of the game. I will admit, although I wasn't sure exactly what to do at first; the beginning level has a hordes of majini coming at you for seven minutes and I died at least 10 times. I had to bump it down to the easy level before figuring out how to make it through this level. The variety of weapons were amazing and you have to play smart to conserve ammo, especially for some of the more powerful weapons. The only thing to me that keeps this game from a perfect score is the lack of replay value to me. Sure you can get infinite ammo for all the weapons and this means you MUST replay the game, but come on, once you get infinite rockets or infinte magnum bullets, the game loses the edge it once held. It really is just too easy to beat. Now granted I have not played professional level yet, but this single player game will lose its savor after two or three playthroughs. Maybe with the versus mode it will get a lot better. Too bad I have not bought this game or it would be an option for me.

Well there you have it. Not the very best or indepth review, but c'mon this is my first one in close to six months. I need to get back into the swing of things and provide important details without rambling too much like I am now. So I'll be off. Cheers!

Ok back to gaming.

Wow, I've taken a really long sebatical and everyone will be proud to know that this first year teacher has almost made it through his intern year. That being said, I noticed Bennett has been posting more on the site and while chillin' at the in-laws I thought I could write a little bit about a few of the games I've been plaing recently. Since I've got Gamefly, things have been really heating up. I even crossed the 20,000 gamerscore threshold. But I'll talk about some of the various games I've played in the next week.

First up, let's take a look at my most recent title Civilization: Revolution. This has actually been a very fun game and quite mind washing as well. I've been playing this game for only a day or so, so I'm not through everything that needs to be done, but I did play through as the romans on easy. It was awesome! I loved building up my empire and then when I was so huge I could just do whatever I wanted. It was kind of annoying that other civs would ask for my newest and best technology, when they are at least 3 tiers behind me. Then they would get mad and declare war. I almost got all of the wonders on this one play through as well. It's not a very difficult game, but it would be really fun if you have a friend that you knew to get together and really dominate, or perhaps betray, mwahaha. Anyway, I may provide a more in-depth review later, but for now it's getting a lil late for our time and I'm gonna head on out. Later y'all BANG BANG!

The Company that Was!

Well it was a short run for the Michael Scott Paper Company but man was I proud of that guy. He showed Dunder Mifflin why he is the man and performed well in the best show this year besides maybe the superbowl episode.

Although the world will be sad that the end has come for MSPC just remember to never mess with Michael Scott, you hear that Dwight? Also a good night for our man Jim who had struggled with the new boss over the past couple of weeks. Things look to be back on track now as the greatest Sitcom on T.V. is back in all its glory.
