Weekly Playlist 6.22-6.26

Don't You Love a Good Playlist?

As of late, I (OverlordStrider) have been playing a more "honed-in" stack of games. As usual, I am more than pleased with my recent XBLA purchase as well as my $60.00 retail game and therefore have given a lot of attention to said games. Here is my play list in glorious fashion.

PROTOTYPE
  • 24 hours into campaign (that I was told would only last me 6-10 hours)
  • 18/34 mission completed
  • Action so fast you sometimes have to pause and compose yourself
  • Have I mentioned the gore? Wow.
  • Open world feels fresh and alive
  • Hijacking Helicopters while they are flying is sheer fun.
  • Upgradable combat arts & powers add a bit of action/RPG'ness to it
  • Anti-hero Protagonist Alex Mercer is quite the bad ass
  • Favorite Power: Whip-Fist (just a bloody good time)
MAGIC THE GATHERING: DUELS OF THE PLANESWALKER
  • A wonderfully fun game
  • Fight your way to the ultimate deck of cards
  • Online play is excellent (played nearly 60-70 matches with SS alone)
  • Story could use some work
  • Campaign is fun and challenging
  • Stays true to Magic The Gatherings rich history
  • Cant customize your decks...which stinks but is fine
  • A great, relaxing card battling game that is accessible and easy to pick up and play
GAME HARD
