I actually turned on my Wii U. Cause I wanted to watch something on TV while I play not cause I really wanted to play it.

Yikes! Sounds scary. Lots of small stuff can cause bleeding from the eyes, but the can't walk part doesn't sound good. Hope he'll be okay man. Crossing my fingers for him and your fam.

Sorry to hear that Travo. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Been playing DMC. Almost at the end I think. Fantastic game and a big reccomend to fans of the genre. It's looking like a 9/10 so far.

I've been playing:

• The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword

                                                                            

Game is awesome. Definitely one of the best games the Wii ever saw. Not surprising, right? Been slacking on it the last few days, but today I will play a good chunk. Level design, sound, character interaction, and pacing are as good as they've ever been in this series.

• Alpha Protocol

                                                                        

Started playing this out of curiosity yesterday, and so far I'm pleasantly surprised. I had heard it was horrible, but every other Obsidian developed game I've ever played has been great. So I waited for it to drop in price and grabbed it off Steam.

There's some good and some bad spots, and the game was obviously rushed out for a few reasons. One, that SEGA wanted the game done at a certain time, and two, that Obsidian needed to get focused on Fallout: New Vegas.

The bad is that the mouse/keyboard controls are horrible, which was totally unexpected. The game follows closely the Mass Effect/KOTOR blueprint, and ME has excellent M/KB controls so you'd think this game would be something like that. But it is obvious this game was designed for an Xbox pad as the KB layout is idiotic and half the time your inputs do not even register. I switched to my Xbox pad, and the controls are much much better. I guess I should have just bought the Xbox version.

Another bad part is the minigames. It has computer hacking, alarm stuff, cmaera and more..basically the kind of stuff Mass Effect has (which was also annoying in those games) but its 10 times worse in this game. Once you get the hang of it its ok, but never really enjoyable.

The good, though, is that again, the game follows the Mass Effect style. You gain all kinds of abilities, better weapons, armor and more as you level up, and the mission structure of the game, the characters, and the espionage vibe are all very well done. Must play more.
