Dead again
Well, another FPS in the bag. I must say the last boss wasn’t as hard as the first Uber Soldat to defeat. Mostly because you were out in the open and he didn’t have one of those lightening guns. I just unloaded 900 bullets from my Venom gun and he imploded deliciously.
Overall, a great FPS; not too long or complex and a nice balance of very difficult parts with easier, more satisfying blood baths. I must say I was really impressed the first time a nazi climbed up a ladder to come after me. That was a first for me. One time he even popped his head up, saw me waiting with a flame thrower, and hid again. After I moved or switched weapons, he’d come up to get me. Very nice. Now if they can fix the classic “the guy next to me died and yelled out in pain, but I didn’t hear anything because his killer used a silencer” AI problem, we’ll be in business.
In other news, I’ve made it a mission of mine to seek out and complete rare, cult adventure games. I’ve recently purchased The Feeble Files for Mac and am securing a copy of The Neverhood from a guy in France. Jess and I beat it back in ‘96, but the game was given to Jess’ Uncle never to be seen again (it now sells on eBay for $100 sometimes!) Will this quest go so far that I buy a used PC to run a Dos based Windows on? We shall see… If any of you have great adventure games to lend me, I’d appreciate it. I have some to lend as well if anyone’s interested (and if Jeff ever finishes them…)
It’s not make-up, I’m just really, really evil…
