Team Fortress 2; Riddick and why isn't Half Life Episode 3 here yet?
I'd like to say that, Team Fortress 2 is now officialy my most favourite game ever. Its fast, funny, and best of all a first person shooter game. I love 'em to bits. But this stands out. I know its been reviewed, acclaimed, won stuff, but I want my say.
TF2, is essentialy a capture this and take it there or capture that spot to win. But with each play, you're expirence changes dramaticaly. You might go scout and run the whole way to the intellenge, nick it and be on you're way. Or, you might play as the medic, and help a heavy take down some soldiers that are in you're way.
I'd like to go through the characters if I may. (Just quick summeries.)
Heavy: Big gun, lots of health and insanly hard to take down.
Pyro: Muffled voice, a bit like Kenny from South Park, owns the most lethal weapon in the game, the Flamethrower.
Soldier: Vietnam, styled crazy american soldier with a huge ass rocket launcher.
Spy: Sneaky bugger, when used right you can trick enemy medocs to heal you while in disguise.
Medic: For those not brilliant at the killing, might go for a supportive role of the Medic by healing poeple in battle.
Demoman: Like explosions and grenades? This is the man for you.
Scout: Fast paced, (In my opinion, Quake styled) character with a shotgun and a baseball bat.
Sniper: Needs not to be explained.
Engineer: Builds turrets, dispensers to help out, and teleporters.
Got the jist?
So you choose a class and use it to effectiveness. But what's so amazing is, how balanced it is. You get the feeling, even though the Heavy has the 300 health points, you can take him down with a few swings from Scouts bat.
The humour is top notch stuff. Ever seen a massive Russian who was once just beating you to death with his fists and then whip out a sandwhich? You will now.
The community helps out a lot here. Maps and mods have beenade with some maps- personally I love the Orange X3 map- are amazing, and occasionaly with a new update, one or two get thrown in by Valve. Its amazing.
The game is constently updated, with new weapons for each class and achievments added each time for you to work through. (Right now theres 170 achievments.)
It witty, fast paced and good looking. A big massive 10/10, from me.
I played the Riddick demo. I was impressed. I was dissapointed. I was amused. It was satsfying. Try it.
I hate most "stealth" games. Metal Gear Solid is the only one I've enjoyed. Splinter Cell was shit. Meh. But, Riddick, Riddick is a more, "Look! Bad guys! Hide!" when its just given you a shotgun. Either I'm misunderstanding it, or its not much sense. Great looking game though. I also like how its an FPSSTEALTH game, but also goes into thirdperson for climbing etc. I loved controlling 'drones' much fun.
Half Life 2 Episode Three. We were promised it about a year ago? No. No. No. Here I am, waiting to find out what happend to our favourite mute, Gordon Freeman. But why? Well, I'd like to elaborate.
HLEP3, will be using the new Version of the Source engine; the same as Left 4 Dead. Thus, Valve now need to shift again from the Episode Two engine. Graphics changed etc.
If you played till the end of Half Life 2, you noticed all the beasties waiting for you to destroy. These will most lilely be included. But the main factor is, Valve are going back to the Borielis. "Back? We never went!" Wrong. We didn't go, but most did; before some nut job decided to release it all over the net, ruining the game. Valve also now have to animate alot of new things, update stuff and need to round it off with a BOSS FIGHT. Yeah, I know. Gasp.
But when It does get released I'm forst inline.

Watchmen: The End Is Nigh game... Alan Moore might not agree, but I do!
Watchmen is now a major film. Watchmen will now be milked for every cent it's got. You know it, I know it. But, I feel this game is diffrent. I've played roughly a sixth of it. (Seeing as waiting until 10 pm, and then realising, "Oh, it's nap time." and it's the demo) So, I've got the just.
Its essentially an old fashioned beat 'em up. Just in the most snazzy high definition graphics, I've seen from ANY Xbox Live Arcade, (XBLA), game or Playstation Network or infact video game tie in ever. Rorsach's blots constantly shift on his face, Nite Owl's electrocution and cape light up and swing around. The rain, the detail on the- well- dark and murkey areas, a top notch. It's really nice to see some effort put into this franchise! Seriously! I've got my complaints, but I mean, DAMN! This. Is. Enjoyable!
The opening introduction 'cinematic', is completely done in the comic's art style, the voice acting is superb on both Nite Owl and Rorsach, and the story is no-cannon, so Watchmen fans who are intrigued have nout to worry. Plus it's insanly decent.
The combat is effective, with Rorsach going nuts; it's just so him! He snaps legs, penises, arms and necks. But while Nite Owl is a skillful martial artist, with his gadjets, Rorsach is much more fun to play.
Now, I said I had complaints. But, it's okay. There not major. It's too short. 5 hours? 20 dollars? (Roughly 10-13.50 pounds here...) isn't a deal. I'm willing to dish out the cash, I just wish it was cheaper. But with this, comes replayability. I believe you could do it 3 or 4 times. Rorsach and Nite Owl have slightly diffrent scenerios, not noticable but felt. The game literally drops you in the deep end. It took 15 seconds to realise X and Y were attacks. Not the more obvious, A and B. Also, the moves can become convoluted and confusing. But the wobbly combat always has it's satisfying crunch. Not much else to say, so far, a 7/10. A reccomendation from moi.
