The good, the bad, & the absurd

Posted by Valfire - March 10th, 2009


Ok i've been playing alot of games lately.

Yet I think its time I broke them down once again.
Ok as you probaly don't remember, though I said I was currently doing a playthrough of Psychotoxic.
A badly coded FPS game that is simply unhealthy to a PC to install, much less play.

To sum it up, it was a wanna be acid trip.
And a bad one at that.

So while I challenge people to show me an even worse FPS that was made sometime preferably in the brackets of 2004-2008, I just want to add that I am also looking for more wastes of my precious time.

Now while that sums up the bad categlory, lets discuss one of the fewer things that still bring up that gleam of hope for gaming today.

World of Goo.
Really i'm not much of a puzzle fan, as I am still having nightmares of Tetris and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine from my younger days.

Yet, whats not fun about a game that runs at a blazing FPS, with little blobs with eyes that you can use in a sandbox like state in order to create living structures attempting to gain access to a pipe that really sucks if you catch my drift.

Damn it that is actually fun.
So fun I managed to get it for only five bucks and all though I won't consider it to be the 'best five bucks I have ever spent', as a certai music cd has the honor of that title.
Its still great.

Ok, and now onto the downright absurd.

The Graveyard.

Ok, how does one define a game?
Perhaps the platformer take of running around shooting an endless birage of curious shots of energy.
Maybe something about going rescue a princess from certain reptiles?
Ok how about an old lady whom goes to the graveyard to sit on a bench.

Yeah thats right, thats exactly what this ones about.
Unlike any other game I have played, this is the first time I actually get to play an old lady whom is practically dead to the world, as she takes a stroll through the graveyard with her trusty cane.

Unfortunately, this woman doesn't have it in her brittle old bones to sprint, jack cars, and pump thousands of bullets into thy flesh of enemies.

No the only thing shes capable of doing is walking painfully slow toward a bench, then sitting on it as music springs up out of nowhere, as she loses herself in her own trail of thought.

Potentially fatal if you get the full version.

The possibility of death if you buy the full version? God, I've gotta get that.
