Poor Raven :(

I finally got around to playing Singularity! Later the next day, I had nearly completed Singularity. While it's not an overly-long game, it's not too short either; I was actually just so into it that I kept coming back. It looks good, the story's interesting, the action is tense and visceral - Raven did it again... Almost. Is it a BioShock clone? Yup. Do the expository setpieces break the flow of everything else? Oh yeah. Is the upgrade system pointless? Uh-huh. Are the NPCs dead-eyed and unpolished? To a T! I heard there might've been some serious cuts to the production of this game after Wolfenstein failed to perform as expected, so that might explain what went wrong - but it's still totally solid and worth checking out.

Also, did anyone else notice that Singularity's story shared quite a bit with the new Wolfenstein game?

Also, does anyone remember how AWESOME Raven's Heretic II is? Too bad it was released next to Half-Life :(

Minority Report

Bought a Kinect for my 360 for, like, $25 with The Gunstringer, Kinect Adventures, Kinect Party, Kinectimals... Now with Bears!, and Once Upon a Monster. They're all solid experiences, but motion controls and voice commands are still stupid in lieu of controllers... In conjunction with controllers, however, we can talk.

Started Stick it to the Man! on Steam, and it's pretty awesome, especially considering the $3.75 sale price at the Humble Store! Kentucky Route Zero Episode Three is next, with bouts of Half-Minute Hero II (finally!) throughout... Then I figure I should get into Reaper of Souls 'cause I paid full price for it :\

Arkham Origins has yet to keep my attention :(
