Shattered hopes... So I was really excited about the new Spider-Man game- Shattered Dimensions. After spending some time with it last night, I admit I still think the concept is fantastic, but how do you screw up the simple fun of web-slinging after getting it right in so many other Spider-Man games? This game feels clunky and confusing when you're trying to navigate your web weaving; the whole pleasure of a Spider-Man game is swinging around on your webs, and this game almost turns that ability into a point-and-shoot gun system instead of a fluid locomotive action.

I still think the Spider-Man 2 (movie) game adaptation is the best Spider-Man game ever made. It really got the dynamics of web-slinging around the city, it FELT like you were really doing it.

Still, I do love Noir Spider-Man and 2099 Spider-Man. That alone might make me keep playing Shattered Dimensions, until the novelty wears off... or REACH releases.

HALO WARSSo I'm an obsessive completionist at times... now that REACH is coming out next month, I want all the achievements for HALO WARS (a game I've never played beyond the demo) so I can say I have all the achievements for every single HALO game (I've maxed out all the others, including ODST).

The problem is... I don't really like this type of game (even though I had some fun with BRUTAL LEGEND) and the other problem is ... FUCK YOU SCARAB MAKING MOTHER FUCKERS.
