ROOR's Return

Hello Everyone

It's been a while since I've kept up with blogging and writing reviews. This time of year I'm am usually busiest but, considering the games that came out during "the holidays": COD4, Halo3, BIOSHOCK, Mass Effect. I truly love these games, but I rent threw these games as slow as necessary. But I still ended up with nothing to play now..

Games I love..To Play Online (PSN ID: ROORHighness , G-Tag: ROORHighness )
Unreal Tournament 3
Call Of Duty 4
Halo 3
Rainbow Six Vegas
Shadowrun
etc..

Games I've Recently Played:
F.E.A.R. Files
Inside this game there are two separate story campaigns which touch a bit on the first game but, peculiar enough they have no direst story tie. But this doesn't tear from the extremely spastic and random Horror that F.E.A.R. brings to the table.
These Expansions/Plot stalking games have truly embraced the Fear feeling well. As a video gamer its nice to play a game with a very simple and straight forward aspect of game play. This is entirely why F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, was a good game. But with the "Slow Time" feature of this game which is its fame. This part of the games makes the combat that much more bearable, but that doesn't Fog the actual simplistic game play of; Freeze time, Shoot!- Unfreeze Keep Moving.
But this game truly falls short on its graphical and systemic game play. There isn't much in FEAR besides going down a long hallway, only to find out at the end the hall has some how becomes longer with blood everywhere or a little girl (Alma) at the end.
Surprisingly there were a few Celeb voices in the Perseus Mandate campaign which adds a touch of familiarity to playing threw the story. Many of the enemies on the first campaign are also in the second. Alma is still tormenting its player in awkward ways; changing rooms around you or dropping you in giant pools of blood, that you have to swim threw which isn't so bad.

Home
Hopefully we'll see Home in the next coming Month at GDC, perhaps we'll receive an Open Beta For Home, and LittleBigPlanet. This is truly needed considering the non-release of Grantourismo Prologue, which would have helped the install base of the PS3, so what Sony "needs" is more people owning the PS3.
