So a friend landed me my very own Beta code and I’ve been able to mess around in Playstation’s Home. There is a great deal of character customization, especially on the face. You can see where all the development time is going. I am enjoying running around and talking to people with it, it’s a nice community. I even got to hook up with some players to help with my epic Little Big Planet quests. The apartment feature is cool, and I like the movie theater. The Bowling alley is fun to challenge random people in billards or just play arcade games. I know it’s in its early stages right now, so I’ll save real judgment once all the nifty stuff is released. One thing I can say is without either a headset or a keyboard, it’s going to be a huge pain to communicate with other people and most of the experience will be lost on you.
A long absence

So it’s been a few days since I’ve posted anything. Truth of the matter is I’ve just been playing the games I love instead of talking about them.
I’ve been playing through Mirror’s Edge, and I absolutely love it too death. I wasn’t so skeptical about the first person free running when I saw the trailers, and I haven’t been disappointed. The time trials are ridiculously fun, I love trying to find new ways to keep the momentum going. My only thought was maybe an online race function with other runners might have been fun. I’m sad to see this game isn’t selling so well, but I was expecting that. Most people either weren’t sold on it, or didn’t want to try something new.
I’ve also been playing Left 4 Dead on my PC with friends. Fighting off the zombie horde is SO MUCH FUN with 3 other players. I’ve found that Bill has stolen my heart in particular. Something about his wry old veteran wit. I think out of all the infected, I hate the boomers most. Everytime my screen gets vomited on, I get severe frame rate drop because of the 100 zombies now on my screen. Anyone with me or do the other infected get on your nerves more?
Lastly, I just bought my PSN copy of Street Fighter HD remix, and it is AWESOME. I have yet to coordinate an 8 player match with some of my buddies. I’ve been having so much fun going back and replaying what is still one of my favorite fighters. I still stand by the statement that I’m happier with this game than SFIV.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving <3 Stuff your faces with either Turkey or Tofu. Depending on which version of cooking mama you are.
