Currently Playing?
I just finished both Gears of War and Final Fantasy XII. Right now I’m reserving judgement on Gears until I can play the co-op campaign mode, which is where I hear it really shines, but there are already aspects to it that I can see are just plain unfinished, or not thought through enough. If any of you all have a 360, the internet, and a copy Gears, and, of course, the desire to play through it again, then speak up.
Final Fantasy XII is what I’m calling an ‘imperfect masterpiece’. The talent of the team behind it is obvious all the way through, but for whatever reason, they couldn’t pull all the strings together in the end. On the other hand, it is rediculously good-looking for a Playstation 2 game. Maybe that’s shallow to say, but it really is quite amazing what they pulled off.
So is anyone else playing anything, good or bad?
I got the 360, gamaertag is “Lord N3R0” (thats a zero at the end). hit me up for a game of GoW, the co-op is awesome if you got 2 people. let me know when you are down.
and i just got Ico, Shadow, and Okami, i think its time to kiss thesis goodbye!!!
Maybe now is the right time to ask. EYE-co or EE-co, and why?
EE-co if you want to use the proper, Japanese pronunciation. I’ve always said EYE-co because that’s what I thought it was the first time I played the game.
I’m going to start playing MPO now for a FOURTH time (expect something lengthy to be posted on this blog about why exactly I’ve played the same damn game three times already in a row). As soon as I have more time I’m going to get back into Twilight Princess, and eventually I’ll start my way into Okami. I’ve still got too many games I haven’t played enough– Killer 7, Psychonauts, Eternal Darkness– and yet I still wind up playing only a handful of titles I’ve played over and over already. Then again, I’ve also got tons of movies at home I haven’t watched yet by the likes of Kieslowski, Wajda, Ozu and Malle while I still go watching the same flicks by Lucas, Kubrick, Mann and Lynch, so it isn’t exclusively laziness in terms of games.
Also– the ICO name thing always reminds me of the question of how to pronounce The Aboninable Dr. Phibes– I always said “PhEEbes,” and was shocked to discover it’s pronounced “PhEYEbes” when I watched the actual movie. Damn tricky vowels…
have a 360 and GoW and finally got internet installed in the apt, so can’t wait to try out GoW like yourself, Charles. let’s pick a time and do it.
Ico sounds much better in english (EYE)
