Wrecking Crew
Whoosh. Sorry about another missed update, this week’s been a tad work intensive, with rewrite work, freelance jobs, a Halo Wars review and a three-day Mythic Map Pack diary for GamerNode, not to mention the latest Plot Wholes, which you can find here.
This week I’ve started using Games Frenzy, the videogame rental service for the UK which is much akin to the USA’s GameFly. It’s great, though I’m baffled as to why I made a playlist of seventeen games, set SFIV and F.E.A.R. 2 as high priority, and got sent The Simpsons and Spidey: Web of Shadows.
Nonetheless, the Marvel title has turned out to be absolutely fantastic, save a few controller-clenchingly annoying camera issues. Tip: if you lock onto something in that game, no matter what you do, never try and move the camera. It doesn’t like you doing so, and will either show you Spiderman’s feet, or the sky above his head. When annoyed, the camera will either physically seem to sulk, or stare at clouds. Annoying? Yes. Annoying during a boss fight requiring ages of replay if you so happen to kick the proverbial bucket? Most definitely.
As for the blog, I’m working on a ton of stuff this week and next, but next week blog posts will go up like clockwork. Have no fear. I’ve also done a couple of tests by putting an Alan Wake article I wrote up on N4G.com and dear lord, my hits went through the roof, so I’ll be writing a lot more articles, and a lot less regurgitated news items.
Enjoy the new Plot Wholes, more tomorrow, as I’m off to do some reading and battle with Spidey’s camera system.
