Bob Came in Pieces, Part 1
This is another Indie game that I find extremely fun. It’s a physics based puzzle game where you control a space ship and fly it through various caves and tunnels. During the game, you collect various parts for your ship, which you can then add or remove on special locations in the level. This allows you to solve different puzzles. You have your regular ship engines, a stronger version of these engines, tractor beams, repel beams and similar items. I managed to complete 7 out of a total of 14 levers of the game. I plan to finish this one really soon.
Tropico 3, Part 1
Bioshock 2, Part 2
Lucidity, Part 1
This one is interesting. It’s a platformer in which the character (a little girl) moves by herself and you put items in front of her to help her avoid and pass obstacles. You put stuff like planks, stairs, jumping shoes, fans and slingshots. Each level has a number of fireflies that you can collect, and when you get a total of 100 of those, you unlock a bonus level. You don’t need to collect any to get to the next story level though. It’s an interesting game and I managed to complete about 15 levels, but I’m not sure if it gets repetitive or tedious after a while. For now I give it a four out of five.
Plants VS Zombies, Part 2
Over the past week and a half, I played this one sporadically. I think I got to level 4.3 or so, but I’m not sure at this point. I unlocked a total of 3 mini games, and the latest plant I got was a windmill type plant that blows away fog and balloon zombies. I definitely like the game so far, but as I said, I’m in no rush to complete it.
Bioshock 2, Part 1
This one got released recently and, since I loved the first one, I got it as soon as possible. I hope to complete it this week, unless it’s much longer than the first one. I don’t remember if I played the first one on easy or something, but this one feels much harder. I actually have to hide and carefully plan my strategy before engaging enemies. It’s loads of fun to play like this so I consider the difficulty a big plus. However, there is no real penalty to dying as there is always a vita chamber nearby so if you don’t care, you could just keep rushing in over and over again and pass an obstacle that way I guess.
Plants VS Zombies, Part 1
This is a fun little game that I probably won’t be completing any time soon. It’s a variation of a tower defense game with, as the title says, plants and zombies. The levels are short and fun so I will probably be playing it when I don’t have the time for anything more serious. I might complete it one day, but don’t expect it anytime soon.
Mass Effect 2, Part 2 [COMPLETED]
Took me a while, but the game is completed. I loved every minute playing it, so I can confidently recommend it to any fans of role playing games, science fiction, or just generally a good story. I can’t wait for the finale of the trilogy. Before completing it, I did the loyalty quests for all of my team members as well as most of the side quests. At the final mission, everyone was loyal except for Jack, even though I completed her mission. She and Miranda had an argument mid-game and I sided with Miranda, so Jack really hated me from that point forward.
My first try of the suicide mission, I had all the ship upgrades and I tried to select team mates logically, but in the end, Tali and Grunt both died. Tali was the one going through the ventilation and Grunt was the leader of the second fire team. I completed the game this way yesterday, but I decided to try it again today with no one dying on me. This time, Jacob was the leader of both fire teams, Thane was the survivor escort, Samara maintained the biotic barrier and Legion was going through the vents. Although a few times it seemed someone was going to die again, in the end they all survived.
I still have a few achievements left, and in time I might even try to play through the game again, but for now I will go play something else. I hear Bioshock 2 is pretty good, but I don’t have it yet, so for now I might try a new alt in World of Warcraft.
Mass Effect 2, Part 1
After completing Dragon Age, I had to start with this one. It was collecting dust on my hard drive for a while, and I loved the first part. After playing for a few minutes and finishing 2 missions (?), I have to say, things have changed. The character development and the equipment looks a bit simplified, but it has potential to be interesting. I love the new Normandy and all the fan service that they subtly feed the player with. Also, the new female character – HOT! I can’t say that I don’t like the changes. It’s just new and different and I’m looking forward to explore it further. This one will probably be completed soon.
