Games: Left4Dead 2
Nov. 30th, 2009 09:11 amAfter finishing this game, I realize I have absolutely no reason to play through it again. Sure, it's fun once, but it's exactly the same the second time around, the third, the fourth ... it would have been a simple matter to correct this if the game makers had just made the characters different in ways that would make one want to play through again as a different character. Make one fight better with swords, anything to differentiate the characters. One of the big reasons Diablo 2 is still going is because there is so many different ways to play a character, even though the game itself is essentially the same each time (random maps aside.)

Games: So what's next?
Nov. 30th, 2009 09:14 amWe played some Demigod with the new DLC, and it was fun but isn't going to hold my attention for long. I do still have a number of games that I bought and never really played: Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, The Witcher, Two Worlds, Age of Empires 3. I may load up Civilization 4 again and play a few rounds. I'll need to hunt up some no-cd cracks, because I HATE switching disks around, lol. I'm starting to lean more towards buying my games from online services like Steam for just this reason, and also because I long ago ran out of shelf space. Which is also why I canceled my membership to Science Fiction Book Club. It served me all too well.
