What I've been Doing Part I: Video Games

Bayonetta PS3

I've told you about waiting for Bayonetta to come out for the PS3. So let me cut to the quick. Bayonetta is interactive BDSM porn with guns and it just gets better from there. The main character and the games namesake looks like Sarah Palin's stand in. It's really frightening how much of a resemble there is. However, Bayonetta is a lot more intelligent than her real world look like.

Gameplay is typical of SEGA. You kill stuff, collect the rings that drop, jump through hoops, and kill the big bad monster at the end of each stage. One of my MORGA (College Video and Anime Club) member commented how much Bayonetta is like Sonic the hedgehog. Expect for the guns, pose downs and Torture/Climax attack Bayonetta does.

This is the first game I've finish in a long while. However, I did do it on the Very Easy Mode for Middle-Age Pussies. I can still go back and collect more weapons, credits and specialty items if I've got nothing to do on a rainy day. I am going to try very hard not to pay full price for a game if I can help it.

Heavy Rain PS3

This is a great game. It has non linear story play and multiple ending. If you really screw up It's possible to get all the major characters killed off. You're after a serial killer who like to kill little kids by drowning them in rainwater. If that's not enough incentive, one of the main character's children has been kidnapped and the clock is ticking. I won't give any spoilers, but I will say I nearly shit my pants when I found out who the killer was. One hint I will give, if you really mess up a scene during game play you can quit the game and reload the scene and play it again until you get the outcome you want. You should do this immediately for scene you want to "correct", otherwise you can disrupt the flow of the game.

The coding is pretty solid, and the live motion capture for the characters is pretty good. The FBI agent remind me a Neo from the Matrix, especially when he has his ARI Computer interface sunglasses on. The shower scene are just fun. If you play the game right you can make the character walk around naked for quite some time. I will say the the main father characters is a major dufus and should never be allowed to have kids in the first place.

I've been pining for this game for awhile, but no way I was going to fork out $60. I waited for this to show up as a used title and picked it up for $45


Bullet Witch XBox360

I would like to say Bullet Witch is a Poor man's Bayonetta, but that would be quite true because Bullet Witch was out long before Bayonetta. It's another girls with guns game. This game really satisfies the need to blow shit up after a day at the college. I also like the fact you can still download different costume for her to ware on her shooting spree. I can't decide between the schoolgirl outfit or the sexy business wear.

Gameplay is straight forward with lots of upgrades to earn. I've finish this game, but I still go back to grind for points in the first level. Points allow you to buy upgrades for spells, effects and weapons. This game teaches the need for strafing and not standing in one place for too long.

I wanted to try this game for a long time, I finally picked it up used from a "Going Out of Business" sale at Mr. Moovies.
