Fuck em. Fuck Gamefly up their non existant ass. 6 days later and still no game. The shipping center they said they were using is in Tampa. . . 100 miles from where I live. I ama complete and utter idiot for giving them another chance. I'm gonna go drink.

Are you certain it's their fault? Maybe the USPS lost it or something? Never tried Gamefly myself.

All the times I used gamefly it took a damn week to get a game. Netflix uses magic, you get a movie like the next day.

Oooo! Vader is playing Journey!

I can't wait to read about his playthru!

Shoot Many Robots is $9.99. One of the first things you'll notice upon buying the game though... there are PURCHASEABLE 'Nuts Packs' where you can simply BUY up to a million Nuts for REAL MONEY! Thanks, but No Thanks, I'd rather earn 'em!

And fuck these whiny bitches complaining about ME.  This culture that everyone is entitled to everything they want is killing me.  I see it all the time at work.

You think that is bad, try teaching math or better yet try teaching biology in those crazy Christian schools. Evolution is not equal to creationism!

But judging games without even playing them is ok then?

And I have played Ico, I am totally in my right to make fun of it.

To be honest the fact that you loved them is enough to know that they will suck.

I went on my Journey today, it was really cool, very artsy. I guess this would classify has video game high art. It is artistically the most beautiful game I have ever played, some moments are stunning. I played straight through with what I thought was one other person but it turns out it was two people. Both were great companions allowing me to lead and helping each other out when needed. The multiplayer aspect was fantastic and so seemless. Having limited communication and goals that dont feel like you are competing but simply aiding each other creates the perfect formula for co-op.

The game itself is more of an experience. There is lots of walking, a little bit to many scenes where you are just walking forward slowly for dramatic effect. I thought the game was supposed to be about exploration but the game is actually extremely linear. Also I thought you were supposed to randomly encounter people in the game world, instead it is simply forced on you, it is not natural they just pop in. This is cause it is broken down into stages rather than being a true exploring adventure. In that regard I did not feel it fulfilled what they were saying this game was going to be like.

It has its moments but I was hoping for more. The dragon thing was not enough, I wanted more of that, imagine this exact kind of game but there was actually things to do. Working together to battle bosses or some puzzles. Still the journey was a fun one and a really cool experience that is extremely unique.
