Working Through a Multiple Games

---

So I'm currently working on 4 games right now.

Assassin's Creed
Battle Field Bad Company 2 Beta
Ghostbusters
Wet

And then I have my other games to work on:
Grand Theft Auto 4
Pain
Pixel Junk Monsters
Super Stardust HD
Valkyria Chronicles
Warhawk
Wipeout HD
Uncharted

And of course my daily use of Wii Fit Plus

Balancing that list with time for my wife, work, TV, and other holiday stuff is a chore let me tell you.

Good thing I have some paid time off coming up.

So here's the question I have, do I play the new games or should I work on finishing up the old ones. And here's the heart of the matter, I've found trophies to be the factor in figuring out which games to play. I know, it's stupid, but true. I've been focusing on Wet and Ghostbusters, leaving Assassin's Creed alone for now. I was playing Battle Field heavily for a while there, but it just doesn't hold my interest (playing the same map over, and over again). Of course Assassin's Creed 2 has a lot of repetition, so that makes it even less appealing. In everything but Battle Field Bad Company 2 Beta, I'm about half way through the game or more.

The implications are clear, if you're making a game, trophy or achievement support is a must. And if you're trying to figure out what game to play, you should be a better player than me and not neglect your old games.

Game Review - Uncharted

---

Here at Full Frontal Gaming our budget is minimal. Meaning we don't have the cash to buy and review the latest and greatest games. But for those gamers who are in the same boat, here's a review for a game that's coming to your price range soon.

I wasn't going to post this until I got the platinum trophy for the game, but due to a situation beyond my control I lost my save game. I can't bring myself to play through on hard to unlock crushing again. Not to mention the wife doesn't want to see the story 3 more times.

My first impressions of the game, things flowed nicely together. The cut scenes and the game play really meshed and the game was not only fun, but it was funny.

I had a blast playing though twice. The first time took a little over 12 hours, and the second only 8 or so. There's a few of the "action" cut scenes, but in general the game play is good. Graphics, lighting, and controls all get high marks. The hints system was nice, though sometimes a little slow.

The platforming can be frustrating at times and I really didn't want a horror game, but still I enjoyed things. I can't wait for Uncharted 2 to drop into the price range.

Ratings:

• Visuals/Audio - Great
  
• Story Line - Fun
  
• Controls - Excellent
  

Overall Rating 9/10

Classic Gaming / Greatest Hits

---

Today's post is a little bit of editorial rather than a review:

So yes I realize I'm playing into a xkcd joke, but I just started Uncharted - Drake's Fortune. I got it for a song, and so far it's kept me and my wife entertained.

While I understand Uncharted 2 is all the rage right now, I encourage people to look back at the greatest hits and classics. Play through Mario Brothers again, shoot that dog on Duck Hunt.

When you hit a frustrating point of Modern Warfare 2, remember, your old games need love too.

A round or two of Warhawk never hurt anybody. MaximumSOAP on Monday nights, 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific, sponsored by Heavy7666.
