PS3 New Release – Heavenly Sword

Gamespots Review of Heavenly Sword on EBGAMES.com
by Aaron Thomas.

I definitely want to play this game.  It looks pretty amazing and it did get a good review from Gamespot.  The only con is that its too short.  I’m thinking that if they want to sell these games for $59.99 they are going to have to make it so it at least takes a few weeks to beat.  I don’t think you should ever be able to complete a game in just a matter of hours.  What’s the point of that?  Are we supposed to play it through at harder difficulty levels? 

Being an avid gamer, I have rarely played through an entire game and then replayed it again all the way through.  Actually, I don’t think I have ever done that.  I tend to get bored quickly so the games have to be really good to hold my attention.

This upcoming weekend or sometime I will probably end up renting Heavenly Sword.  I can’t justify purchasing it, but renting Heavenly Sword is a good option for me.   

If you like God of War (i’ve heard it compared to that game alot) but with a hot CG girl as the main character — then give this game a try.  I personally am looking forward to playing this one so I’ll be renting it from Gamefly probably sometime this week.

The Elders Scroll IV: Oblivion for PS3

So, when i got my Playstation3 I also bought The Elders Scroll IV: Oblivion.  This game is awesome.  I had never played any of the Elders Scroll games before so this is my first one. I read some reviews and it looks like other big game sites love this game.  I’ve seen ratings as high as 9.5 – I think that was Gamespot.com that gave it the good rating.

If you have a PS3 and enjoy epic role-playing adventure games then this is the one for you. 

The graphics are fantastic (i’m playing on a Sony 24″ TV and the games still look great!).  Boy i can’t wait until i get that HDTV so these games really shine, I’m sure there are things about the games I’m not seeing.

The voice acting is top-notch too.  Just about every character has something to say to you though it seems they got the same actor to do alot of the voices for different characters.  I might be wrong.

The sound and music is excellent.  You know when your in enemy territory because the evil music plays and when you are just wondering around the enormous, georgous land you’ll hear more peaceful music.

Overall the game is excellent and very polished.

Go buy it. Play it. and let me know how far you are. 

I’m currently Level 4 after 11 days in game-time passed.

I got a PlayStation 3

So, you heard the news right?  Sony finally decided to drop the price on the PS3.  They dropped it from $599 to $499, plus if you buy it from EbGames.com or the store from what i hear you get 5 FREE Blue-Ray Movies.  Now, thats a hell of a deal.

I went to EBgames and purchased my PS3 this evening along with Oblivion, the Elders Scroll game.  I’ve done nothing really this evening but play this game and write this.  Too bad i have to work tomorrow!!!

Can’t wait to waste my saturday away in front of the TV!

Now all I need is an HDTV as my Sony 24″ Standard TV isn’t doing these games much justice.

Well, i got to get back to playing — peace out!
