OK, so Genesis Rising sucked ... glad that's done!
I'm reviewing a game called Hot Dog King for the PC, which is a franchise-building tycoon game ... but the PR releases I had gotten featured 'the girls of Hot Dog King', and the game itself seems to lean heavily on scantily clad sim-like models ... perhaps the less said the better ...
On to better stuff - thanks to a good ol' Magerette I am now playing the Titan Quest Immortal Throne expansion on the PC. I had deleted my original TQ saves, meaning that I'd have to trudge all the way through again to get to the Immortal Throne stuff. I was about 1/3 way through ... I wish they included a pre-packaged couple of characters like they did for Sacred Underworld. I was also starting the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion (also PC) when one of my gaming PC's ate itself ... crud.
On the PSP I'm holding off buying some of the new stuff that just came out (e.g Valhalla Knights and the Generation of Chaos sequel), and decided to take a Puzzle Quest break and play some of Snoopy & The Red Baron. Not bad stuff, really.
The DS is seeing action in the form of Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja, which is a classic rogue-like wrapped up in a little Ninja story and some sassy characters. The core game is punishingly difficult, but I am finding it pretty fun so far.
