Too many games and not enough time
Ultimate Marvel Alliance for the xbox 360 rules. I rented it last week when it came out and it hasn't left my 360 yet. Ive had a blast playing the single player and co-op online modes. Its definitely in my opinion not worth buying but a great rental. Its basically a third person adventure rpg. You earn money to upgrade your warriors and find items on the ground that you can use to upgrade your hero. You generally have a party of 4 heroes with you and with a click of the d pad you can switch to any of the 4 anytime. Once someone dies you fight without them until you get to a save. Then you save you can switch out your fallen hero with a fresh one, while the damaged one heals up. I think there is something like 120 Marvel comic characters and about 30 playable ones.
Next up is Bully for the ps2. Warning!!! The game is fun but my nephew beat it in only 3 days! That was three days averaging about 9 hours a day but it still was pretty short. Its basically a teen school version of Grand Theft Auto. I played it some but wasn't my cup of tea. You go on missions taking pictures of teachers doing illegal things, shoot people with slingshots, kiss girls to get health and other kinds of funky madness. Buy it if you are gonna pace yourself, otherwise rent it first and go hardcore till you beat it. Overall it was kinda on the easy side and only a few missions my nephew had to do more than once to beat it.
In the next few weeks coming up is a gamers paradise. Next week im picking up the highly anticipated Call of Duty 3 and Gears of War for Xbox 360. After that week, which im not getting any time soon is the PS3 and Resistance:Fall of Man. Then on Sunday 11/19/2006 releases the much anticipated (by me at least) Nintendo Wii. I know im picking up Zelda for sure but dont know what others im getting yet. Im leaning toward multiplayer games like Rayman and Super Monkey Ball but wont cement my decision until i see some trusted reviews online. Since it plays Gamecube games also, i think im gonna go pick up some of those that i missed out on. Ill get back with ya once i get em. Guess i need to rob a bank real quick.
