Demopalooza

Hello all, first I just want to hit a quick thing. I'm back at school so expect fewer blogs, I'll try to do one or two a week. Just thought I'd say that.

Okay! Well I've been playing a lot of demos lately and been having fun. Right now I have the Wet demo up and the Bioshock one thatI have yet to play and Mini Ninjas is still coming. So I guess I'll just be talking about the Wet demo. It's being done by Bethesda which is really weird because the only things they've really done is Oblivion and Fallout both RPG's. Whereas Wet here is a shooter, a surprisingly fun shooter. So you play as Rubi... that's it, nothing else explained. Chasing Simmons, some due with a case you want... and he sorta looks like a chimp. So that's how it starts, you're Rubi, you have two pistols with a never-ending supply of bullets, a sword, and a bunch of Asian dudes on your ass that need killing. Oh, and to top it all off you can slow down time whenever you jump, slide, or wall run. The demo showed off 4major parts of the game, regular combat and acrobatics. Arena combat where you have to kill spawn points with tons of enemies. Ruby vision where cool music plays, the screen is basically all red, people bleed what looks like whitemilk, and you get full auto weapons.Then the last is the quick time event segments, or as Yahtzee one of my favorite game reviewers would call it, "Press X to not die". But this one is unique, It's not some 10 second thing the randomly throw at you, it's a mini level in it self. The one in the demo is you jumping from car to car but also taking out enemies too, and it just makes the QTE parts more fun. After that it just ends, so did I like it? Yeah! loved it and I really want to see Bethesda not just make it a shoot-em-up but a shoot-em-up with a story. Will I get this the day it comes out? No, right now it seems great, but not enough to get it the day it comes out. Besides, then that's be two games in one day! Scribblenauts is on the 15th too. Also I'm broke, so yeah...


Wow that was a lot of writing there.


Okay now for the PS3 Software update... sorta lame. They gave the friends thing an ugly grey box... thinnnng... and now the background is all purple and sparkling. So i immediately changed it to the Batman AA theme (FTW!) Then the last thing the added was pointless things that give you shortcuts into certain parts of PSN. The only really useful thing added was the "What's new thing tells you about any new DLC for games you have. Yeah, fail...


Last thing, keep sending me your PSN's, always love a good CoD4 match, Fat Princess, or some TF2!


I'll probably talk about Mini Ninjas and Bioshock next! Hurray for the New and the Old! And in the mean time here's a pic of Rubi, just for fun.
