Alone in the Dark: 5 Complaints

DrivingDriving

Add this to the list of horror games I have played. The game in question is Alone in the Dark and I have been chugging away at it, flaming Humanz, fleeing Ratz and whatnot for the past few weeks. I have not finished it yet but am this close to the end. In fact, I am at the last sequence and I should be done with it in a few days. That's when I'll write up a review for the game. For now, I thought up of a few things that have been bugging me about Alone in the Dark.

1. What's with the driving?



Honestly, who came up with that? Alone in the Dark does a genre-bender of sorts and throws in a number of driving sequences into the game. This means, for the most part, you must hot wire a car and zoom off to your set destination whilst avoiding Humanz. Who can jump on your car and poke at you I might add. Read more

Let's see what's on for this week. Looks like most of the games out on Arcade are boring. Except for Lazy Raiders which has me sold. And there is also some interesting news about upcoming games. And a weird reaction by Alien versus Predator guys.

I have been meaning to put up an FAQ/Boss Guide of sorts for Resident Evil 5. I know I had trouble with a few of them. I did looked around for suggestions regarding a few of the baddies and I figured I would help add to the hints and tips out there. This is the Boss Guide for Chapter 1 of Resident Evil 5.

Resident Evil 5 Review

Is it RE5 or Fast & Furious 5?Is it RE5 or Fast & Furious 5?
So … I finished Resident Evil 5 last week. I've been a fan of the game series ever since the first polygonish Umbrella-kicking adventure and thus, was eager to play the most recent one in the series. And given that I had not played the fourth part, I didn't quite know what I was in for. Now I know.

Graphics


Alright, so RE 5 is incredibly pretty; it's realistic and sparkling fresh (but not in a vampire in sun way), right down to the executioner's gritty look. And it's not just the people and environment that grab your attention. The folks have added in little details into your surrounds (like when you smash boxes, hack away at apples … as you do) which adds to the overall look of the game. Read more

I won't be adding any news about XBLA releases. Rather, given that everyone is probably chilling out during the holidays and booting up their favorite game, let's check out the rumors for Xbox. 

First, there was news that the folks behind Xbox are all worked up about their latest idea – realistic avatars. That's right, now your little pictorial depictions can represent what you really look like. Apparently this is linked to the release of Natal. Am I the only one who is a bit errr about this idea? Do you really want your online friends to know what you look like? Alright, so they limit certain features for folks under 18 on their Xbox account but they are fine with young whippersnappers looking like themselves, or as close as they can to their real life selves, in their avatar picture?

Fun Games for the Holidays

What he said itWhat he said it

I'm making a list of games to play this holiday season. I've made my way through a few games (I'm looking at you, Silent Hill:Homecoming) but there are many more that were half-finished. Or simply forgotten as the next new sparkly game made it to the market. So, I'm hoping that this list keeps me focused and helps me pinpoint what I want to finish. Or play for fun during holidays, whatever rocks your boat.

This has been a slow week for Xbox. Games which made its way to Xbox Live Arcade are cozy little puzzle games that I will ignore for now. On the positive side, the guild episodes are getting better as we move through the season.
