Maintenance Marvel

I just spent 4 hours at the Subaru dealership by my house. Why? Cause my mom wanted to get an odd noise fixed up right away. Get it done in a jiffy. Son of a fuck. Good thing I had a book or I would have killed someone. I cannot wait to be out of here so that I am not at the mercy of my dumb fuck mother's ability to waste my time. She is great. But she likes to fuck with the time I have. Its mine not yours bitch!
Anyways I am doing a game review update on 3 titles:

Advent Rising - Good story, bad cut-scenes, horrible cut-scenes, decent graphics, heavy action, decent strategy element (when it is there, basically a run and shoot), bad cut-scenes, and bad controls, horrible horrible controls. Imagine trying to play Virtua Cop 3 at the arcade while someone is butt-fucking you, and then your in the realm of what I'm talking about. The game has the standard movement on one thumbstick and camera control on the other thumbstick. Though here is the trick, they created a new patented "flick targeting" control. Where did they put it you might ask? Well its with its dominant cousin camera control on the right thumbstick. That's where the fuck it is! If it weren't for a smart targeting system that your char automatically uses you would be fucked. Only a fucking genius would fuck with the camera control. Fucking geniuses.

Magne Cum Laude (Leisure Suit Larry title) - It lives up to the hype of being simple mini-games aimed at getting Larry laid if succesfully completed. Fun but simple.

Rise of Kasai (Mark of Kri sequel) - Basically the same game. Period. Good but nothing new besides new playable characters.

Thats all I have for the moment as I prepare for my transfer into the life as a Uni. student. Man it will be fun. Until Next.
