Scribblenauts on the train to and fro uni.

The other day I had a four year old Japanese kid run across the carriage and peer over my shoulder as I played. I wasn't sure whether I should explain it to him and get word suggestions but he seemed cheerful enough just watching.

I decided that I don't really care about getting the in-game Tenacious D guitar from my Gamestop pre-order of Brutal Legend. So instead, I went to Gamecrazy, paid for the whole thing up front, and received this:

Why does it already look beat to shit?

You really should be more gentle when rubbing things on your naked body. They'll last longer. Which means more rubbing, in the end.

Got myself back into Oddworld recently. Finished Abe, half-way through Stranger. Not been playing through any recent games due to my lack of recent hardware.

The wear and tear is not actual wear and tear. It's made to look like that.

Also, that isn't my copy. I took those pictures off of the Brutal Legend website.

Tried playing some Hulk: Ultimate Destruction earlier. Great game, but it keeps crashing.

I would have enjoyed that game more had I not played Prototype first.

I think it's the more fun of the two. Prototype was good, but it doesn't compare to the crazy shit you can do from the very beginning of Hulk.

I disagree. Hulk was generic and boring. And ugly.

Oddly, Prototype would technically be the generic one. There weren't a ton of Parkour movement system based games before Hulk, and since it was largely the same development team on Prototype, it's basically just Hulk with less smashing, more hopping, and more gore.

Also, Prototype certainly had a better and more in-depth story, but they're by and large the exact same game.

I never said Prototype wasn't generic. Hulk just seemed moreso to me. Prototype was engaging. Hulk was just 'hey, you're big and green. Go break things now!'

Plus the Prototype guy, Mercer or whatever the fuck his name was, was just more fun to play with. Hulk felt clunky.

I hated the targeting system in Prototype. Even when I got used to it, I just thought it was dumb.

Also, did thermal vision even have a use? It seems like they just pooped that into the game to give you the option to make everything quiet.

The thermal vision thing was an honest question. I wasn't being like "And this is wrong with it too!"

It's not that I don't like Prototype, but I had more fun and less "WHAT THE FUCK!?" moments with Hulk.

And we've come full circle.

Crackdown is wonderful, especially with the new content. I hope the new direction in the sequel will work for it.

Kastere, I'm with you. I definitely had less of the 'WHAT THE FUCK' moments with Hulk, but I also had less fun. It was just boring to me.

Crackdown, however, was oodles of fun.

EDIT: Brutal Legend. I like it. A lot.

The music alone almost makes it worth the purchase. Tim Schafer has fucking done it again. And, this is coming from someone who isn't exactly a Jack Black fan, but the chubby fuck has gotten quite a few chuckles out of me so far.

Resistance 2, pretty good game but too easy, I'm playing it on hard on my first play through. It suffers from that same problem I noticed a lot of sequels suffer from, and that's too many enemies on screen that are far too easy to kill at a time! But the game looks great and 60 player online matches are damn fun.
