More Downloaded Titles and COD:BLOPS
After playing through the Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign this week and being really disappointed I moved on to playing a bunch of downloadable titles. I’m glad I just rented COD:BLOPS because I’m not really into the multiplayer style and the campaign was not great. The actual story was pretty interesting this time around but the game play was really annoying. Too many times I would shoot enemies only to have nothing happen. Plus,all of the enemies seemed to be able to kill me with just one or two bullets. Shouldn’t I be able to do the same to them?
Fortunately, X-Men Arcade released on Xbox Live Arcade this week to distract me. I’ve got a quick review of it up here, but basically it is as fun as I remember. The 6 player co-op over Xbox Live is great when it is not lagging or kicking people out of the room. Still, overall if you enjoyed the arcade game I think this version is worth getting to play with some friends.
Radiangames Crossfire 2 is quickly becoming one of my favorite Xbox Live Indie Games. Radiangames has not made a title I’ve not enjoyed yet, but Crossfire 2 night be their best one. It takes a Space Invaders fixed cabinet view and adds a full upgrade system. Plus there is a score based mode with online leaderboards for when the campaign has been completed. I’ve got a full review on XBLA & XBLIG Ratings here.
I’ve also started Soulcaster II. The way it mixes tower defense and action RPG is really nicely done. The first game was great and the sequel only improves on it. I’ll be getting a review together later this week over here.
I'm an tech fan and avid gamer. Looking to have some fun and try new gadgets.
