I'm still venturing through the wastes in Fallout 3 and I'm still enjoying it immensely. I might post my formulated character plan later on. Hint: Agility and Intelligence are still the most important statistics in Fallout.
I booted up Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts the other night. First, this game needs to be installed to the hard drive because the load times are long and frequent. November 18th will bring the "new Xbox experience" and you'll be able to install games to the hard drive then. This game needs that badly.
Barring that technical hurdle, my feelings can be summed up by the text in one of the load screens. It says that if you don't enjoy the vehicle-based gameplay of Nuts & Bolts (I don't), then you should buy the original on Xbox Live Arcade. Yeah, you're game isn't fun like the original was. So thanks for admitting that this game isn't as good and thanks for shilling your other product... Assholes.
Good thing I've got a code to download the original Banjo-Kazooie for free because I pre-ordered Nuts & Bolts. I wanted a platformer, not a racing game based on the Kingdom Hearts Gummi Ships. There's hardly any personality in the world and all of the worlds are too large and don't really encourage exploration. They're basically just large, empty race tracks.
I don't hate it, but it's not really for me... Nor is it for kids either. I mean, none of the dialogue is voiced and (as I'm sure you've seen reported on the internet) it is unplayable on SDTVs.
What I was surprised with was Left 4 Dead. The demo just floored me. It was fast, fun and free of frustration. It was pretty cool to see a huge swarm of undead start coming at your party and you can't help but think "Oh shit! ... This is gonna be fun!" If I had money, I'd definitely consider purchasing it.
I got access to the Home Beta this morning and tried that out. What a monumental waste of money and time on Sony's part. What reason do I have to ever use this? Boring and pointless.
Still haven't picked up my copy of LittleBigPlanet though... I don't have the money yet.
