I gave up on GTAIV. I tried pushing through, thinking that maybe there is some sort of cheese block at the end that will make all my sacrifice worth it……but no. I finished the 1st island, and I am sick of this game. All the swearing, all the monotony and tedium….I just don’t care anymore. So, I sold it.
I headed up to my local Gamestop, and I traded it in, along with 9-10 other games. This netted me $195 in store credit, which I used to renew my Edge subscription and buy Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3), Ninja Gaiden II (360), and God of War: Chains of Olympus (PSP).
Now, I’ve had an on-again-off-again relationship with the Metal Gear series, so I’m not quite sure why I bought MGS4. I guess, in the end, it’s the newest and hottest thing, and I want to try it out. Also, I am trying to run a gaming blog here, so I feel like I should have something to say about the MGS4 phenomenon.
Ninja Gaiden II was also a rather curious purchase. I liked the Xbox original, but found it too hard, and I didn’t finish it. This sequel is supposed to be a bit easier, and I enjoyed the demo I played on XBLM, so I have high hopes for the game.
God of War: Chains of Olympus was a no-brainer. I love the series, and the opportunity to play it portably on the PSP sounds awesome. I am stoked for that one.
As far as what I have been playing, mostly I’ve been wasting my time getting slaughtered at Carcassone. I love that game, but man, I suck at it. 2-15 is my online record. Geez.
I’ll post some impressions once I get my feet wet with my new games!
I also traded in my copy of Grand Theft Auto IV. This was the worst main 3D entry in the series yet.
I just rented Ninja Gaiden II as well.
That Naomi Hunter is so damn hot. The sex in Chains of Olympus was epic.
Ross – Yep, I am with you on that. I just don’t get the hype.
funnyman – Agreed, and agreed.
Ender, I’m really enjoying Ninja Gaiden II right now. I’ve been so disappointed in many titles lately that I rented this one – but after playing it I can’t say that it would be a bad purchase.
