So I finally finishe Dead Space 2 and it was a blast! I would say the game is near perfect in my opinion. From start to finish it was full of none stop action and suspense where the game got me a few times and made me jump. Towards the end I didn’t expect I had to deal with so many necromorphs, they just kept on popping up here and there and that was fun! My only complain is the final boss fight and I will let you guys see for yourselves instead of me spoiling everything.

Dead Space 2 introduced a few new guns but I seriously think the previous ones like the trusty plasma cutter, pulse rifle and the very powerful (even without upgrade) line gun, were more than enough to fight off any mobs of necromorphs. I did use the “sniper” seeker rifle from the beginning of obtaining it to the end. Definitely provided me with different ways of dismembering the necromorphs.

The game also introduced a few new types of necromorphs, the Crawler (exploding baby), Stalker and Pack along with the old “cast” like Slasher, the Brute and Lurker (see a full list here). Surprisingly there were a lot of boss encounters like the previous game, which is also one of the downfall of the game. But like I said, the game pace was so intense for me that didn’t bother me too much. Though I did miss killing the The Leviathan or The Hive Mind.

The sound effect, as usual, gave me the creeps and kept me alert and awake all the time. Funny how the necromorphs only appeared when I least expected! Good job on that.

I played a couple of multiplayer and honestly it wasn’t as bad as people said. But for sure it DOES require teamwork otherwise you will not achieve anything acting like Rambo. One thing is true though, is the fact that humans are a bit overpowered at times so you really have to play smart if you are playing as necromorphs. Sort of like Zerg from Starcraft, you really have to know when to swamp at the humans. Here’s a (obviously) tip, try not to go head on!

For all that PLUS it includes the rail shooter game Dead Space Extraction, originally from the Wii, I give Dead Space 2 a 9/10.

Perhaps there will be a third one?

So I haven’t been updating my blog for almost a month now due to work and work on the side (graphic design). Aside from that I’m also pretty addicted to HD Starcraft on YouTube. Its like watching TV series, once you start you cannot stop until you have finish all the episodes or until there are no more new episodes left.

Fortunately though, HD Starcraft has been doing commentating the original Starcraft games for more than a year ago so I’ve got tons of games to catch up. Watching the original Starcraft games just brough back so many memories (I actually reinstalled Starcraft just because of these YouTube videos). As I am writing this up, I am watching one of his one month old videos right now! His videos, as his name suggested are of high definition, specially after YouTube started supporting full 1080p HD quality videos. Though I only watch them in 480p on my computer which I think is clear enough.

So if you guys are as hyped up about Starcraft 2 as me, I strongly suggest you to take a look at his YouTube channel!

While browsing the online flyers of Futureshop and Best Buy. Nothing surprising in the Futureshop one, but I accidentally found out about the fact that StarCraft 2, our long awaited strategy game will be released on May 31st of this year. Well, at least based on the Best Buy listing . Maybe the date was released somewhere before but I’ve just checked Gametrailers and it said Q4 of 2010. I think May will be Q2 of 2010, so let’s see which one is more accurate. Obviously we all want May as oppose to near the end of the year.

Its been eternity since the original StarCraft came out, that was when I was in grade 10 I think. The time when we were still using 56k modems and got dropped out of mutiplayer games. Ahhh good times.

I’ve always wanted to play the original Aliens vs Predator but never, ever got a chance to. I think this time I won’t miss it, I can’t. Not after watching all these promising trailers. I have a strong feeling that this game is going to be worth it. I was right about not getting Dark Void, didn’t even bother trying the demo and I was right. The review from GameTrailers said it all.

Well, why do I think this game is worth buying the very first day? The fact that it has a mix of sci-fi, survival horror and first person shooter is more than enough to convince me. Much like Dead Space, another great sci-fi x survival horror x FPS game. Only this time, instead of playing as human only, you get to play Alien or the Predator as well! I’ve always thought Predator was cool and I still think it (he?) is with its feel-so-over-powering cloaking ability. Sort of the uglier version of Snake from Metal Gear Solid. Well maybe just the stealth part.

Alien on the other hand, is for those who are into quick and heavy melee attacks. I’m guessing the only range attacks are its tail jab and spitting poision from its inner mouth like the Hydralisk from Starcraft?

And finally the human will be for the newbies or you are really a fan of yourself – human. I’m sure each side has its own strengths and weaknesses.

I’m also excited about the single or co-op survival mode (the mode where you find endless waves of enemies), which I expected Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to have. Now finally I get to play this mode without having to buy Call of Duty: World at War. WHen this comes out, I wonder I will still be playing MW2 as much as I have been or will it finally be dethroned.

Aliens vs Predators will be out 2 days after Valentine’s Day, Feb 16th 2010. Which side will you be on?

 

And boy check out these crazy death moves!
