Eh, I guess this journal (that maybe a handful of people read) needs some less negative posts and something that's general. Cause Unlike my journal, I'm not ALWAYS negative and depressed.

So the last couple of months I have gotten quit abunch of games (all of which are over a year old, so nothing NEW and Current.) With all of them I got what I expected with most of them. Except two games.

The first game being Splinter Cell: Double Agent. I was a fan of the original 3 games, (though found them to be kinda hard and rather frustrating at points) and I always knew this game exsisted. I saw ever EB games seemed to have Many copies of it, and it was rather cheap everywhere I looked. And judging by trend, the cheaper and larger amount of a used game, the chances it sucks to some point. So one day a few weeks ago I felt like something new, and decided to pick it up. I thought "What the hell, $15, why not?" So I bought it, and started playing it. And right away it felt like a good old fashion Splinter Cell game. But once the game progressed I realised that this game had somethings the other ones didn't. First off, CHOICE. You had objectives that depending how you fulfill them, will effect later events and characters. Another feature I liked about it, was the story. It was alot deeper, and more complex I thought. And it was good. So untill I beat this game, and got majority of the achievements for it, I was rather addicted to this game. Which I rather like when I just get Really into a game. It doesn't happen alot for me. Now I'm not saying this is the BEST game, no far from it. But definatly a good game, that I think is under-rated by some people.

The other game is in a similar spot. I found it for $10 in a Walmart discount bin. This game was The Simpsons Game. Again.. I thought, "$10, I like Simpsons, and I want some new games, so why not.." And honestly I was not disapointed. Many people would automatically dismiss this game as a kid-game and therefore Crap. Not true. Yes, it is child friendly, and has mindless button mashing and rather easy to achieve goals. It's still fun none the less. I think the main thing that made this game enjoyable was the Writing. It was very humorous, the whole game was just making fun of other games otu there. Which I love spoofs. And then there were points where it just got so crazy, but in a good way, that I just loved it. Like The Simpson's meeting Matt Groeining (sp?) and him ending up some evil genius. I found that hilarious. As well with the one level where it completely rips off the old school Pokemon game's battle screens, that was hilarious..and clever. And the last level, was SO random, it was genious. Playing DDR against God himself, to the tune of Rock You Like a Hurricane. I've seen some pretty great end battles.. but that one takes the cake for most Epic End Battle in a game. Without a doubt. I think any fan of The Simpsons will enjoy this game.. it seems to have many elements of different games, and isn't pointed towards just one crowd. Definatly another game that is very Under-rated.



As for non-Video game related things. Not much worth reporting about in my life. EXCEPT for one thing. As of today, I am now legally able to drive on my own. (muwhahaha) So I'm feeling pretty good because of that. Had my first drive alone tonight, and it was great.
