Over the past week I've been playing quite a few different games but still spending most of my time on my new favorite game: Devil May Cry 4. I finished up Devil Hunter mode this weekend and then started playing Son of Sparda mode. The Dante fight at the beginning of SoS is a but hard as I spent way too much time trying to win that fight. By completing Devil Hunter mode I opened up Bloody Palace mode which is just an arena battle mode where you take on waves of demons. I got to stage 17 (out of 100) over the weekend and plan on seeing how far I can get.
I decide that this weekend was my last with Burnout Paradise. I did some more racing around the town on Friday night and got my fill. It's an ok game and has it's moments but I'm just not that interested. I like the open world idea but don't feel compelled to compete in races or other events. This game is really best if you have a bunch of friends playing together online and as I mentioned before no one on my friends list has picked this game up so playing by myself gets a bit dull.
For some sadistic reason I though it'd be fun to rent Perfect Dark Zero and play that a little. How wrong I was. I started out playing the campaign where I left off. Well that was the jungle mission which has to be one of the worst levels I've played. I think I stopped after about 10 or 15 minutes. I decided to play some multiplayer against bots (as if anyone is still playing this online) and see how that compares to current games. It's got that Counter Strike/Shadowrun game mechanic where you buy weapons before a match which is a bit lame. It is very clear that PDZ was an Xbox game ported to 360 so Microsoft could have a FPS for launch. This game is very ugly and doesn't play very well. The controls are not very good which is a good way to kill a FPS.
As mentioned in an earlier post I did play some Halo 3 over the weekend. Got stood up by one friends but still played with another. We used to have a good group for Halo 2 but it never materialized on the 360.
That's about all I played this week. I'm going to have to crack into Lost Odyssey this week and play a little more Devil May Cry. I'm sending both GameFly games back so I don't see any new games in the future. I need to get back into GH3 so I'm ready for the weekend. Might be playing some GH3 at a party on Saturday.
