Mute Melancholy

This isn't a review as such, just an update.
There are so many new releases that I haven't played yet, such as, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. There's also a heap of albums that's going unheard. I actually have been listening to one new album release, so not all is lost. To mention the name would be highly inappropriate and near blasphemy, even for this blog. Perhaps you'll know someday, when I 'accidentally' let it slip, ha.

I'm almost certain in the next 3 - 4 days, I will have my hands on a copy of Modern Warfare 2, and maybe even Left 4 Dead 2, we'll see.
I've been playing a lot of Fallout 3 lately, which sadly, wasn't played much when I bought it last year. I didn't realise how much fun this game is, and how sad an event would be, if it were to happen in real life.
Now I'm off to Meresti Metro Station to deliver a message to Ian, and ask (read: persuade) him to go back to Arefu. Sigh, it's better playing a game late than never.

Knowing the sequel is on the way, going back to complete Blood Harvest is still as fun as it was the first time. Of course there is user created content, but the brilliance lies in the original campaigns.
There have been reviews upon reviews of this game, so I won't do another one. Instead, I will exclaim the simplistic brilliance.
The four playable survivors in the game each have their own persona, and are truly believable. With that said, it is extremely hard to pick a favourite, as you have a profound connection with them all. This is one of the things I hope the sequel includes. No game is wholesomely much fun, when you are not emotionally attached to the character/s. If a character dies, you really feel it, and although you may be reunited again before the end of the level, it's hard and makes it that much more frightening. It also makes you work extra hard to help your incapicated comrades.
The sequel looks fun; graphics are sharp, some levels are in daylight and seems to maintain that plain excellence of the first.



This definitely looks like a sequel worth waiting for.
