Games I Beat: Split Second

"Where speed isn't enough" is the games tagline, and while that may sound like a terrible summer movie blockbuster pitch, it actually is pretty accurate. First of all, Split Second is insane. I once described the game to someone as "a game that will give you some notion what its like to go on a drinking binge with Nick Nolte and Gary Busey ,and then going for a joyride with them."

I loved this game. I admit that the concept is really well executed, however, the game quickly becomes a painful jog to the end. It's not your average arcade racer mind you, but blowing the same shit up ten times over gets a bit stagnant after a while. The game does an excellent job reeling the player in with its Bruckheimer/Bay charm, and like I said, the concept is awesome. It's essentially Death Race, but you're using the environment as your weapon.

Thoughts on E3: Microsoft Press Conference


After the Microsoft press conference finished, there were some mixed emotions. The Twittervese was full of both joy and disappointment with the direction MS is headed. The conference came out strong with some awesome triple A titles, Gear of Wa 3, Fable 3, and Metal Gear Solid: Rising. I think where a lot people ran into a problem was the Kinect presentation. Casual sucks I guess...photo via joystiq
