Fireball and Faery Impressions
Having finished Fallout: New Vegas I spent the last couple days playing Rock Band 3 (review coming at some point), Radiangames Fireball and Faery: Legends of Avalon. Fireball is similar to passivism mode in Geometry Wars but expanded to a full game. At just $1 it is my value game for the week because I’ve easily put 4 or 5 hours into it already. It is a blast to play and with online leaderboards it keeps me coming back to try new tactics. My review for Fireball is up on XBLA & XBLIG Ratings here. The challenges modes are my current addiction. At just 3 minutes they don’t take very long but are a lot of fun.
Faery: Legends of Avalon hit Xbox Live Arcade this week and with my saved game at 8 and a half hours I’ve finished it already. It is fun, if linear, RPG that explores the world of Avalon as you try to save magic from extinction. The combat is turn based and with 6 or 7 companions to choose from on your quests there is a wide range of attacks and spells to use. I had fun going back to a fairly classic RPG what was not overly complicated or fast. My full review is up here.
I'm an tech fan and avid gamer. Looking to have some fun and try new gadgets.
