Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3

So I've finally been putting some time in on my xBox. I suppose it was sort of over due but having given up WoW and it being much to cold to spend more than a few minutes outside... now I have to fill my time with other activities. Sure I still go to the gym most everyday and Aikido is a lot of fun.. but I still have time to kill.

Anyways, I recently picked up Fallout 3. I was a decent enough fan of the first two ittirations of this game and was excited when a third chapter was coming out. Of course they were going to change much of the gameplay since well, computers and consoles are a tad bit better than in '97 when you needed a blazing fast pentium 90 to play Fallout 1.

The game is good, they handle the FPS qualities well and I have few complaints in the game thus far. It is very deep and you really don't have to follow any specific route (well you can if you want to finish the game) but I've just been running around, killing things, collecting weapons, getting rich, etc. I plan to play through the game at least once more, going to try to play a more evil character, or someone who excells at hand to hand combat. I don't know, there are many options available.

Geoff got me Left 4 Dead for x-mas. I put the game in last night and was completley floored by the intro. It was pretty amazing. I know the game wasn't going to look anywhere near that good when I was playing... but well.. it hardly looks bad. The dynamic of the game is a bit different from other FPSs that I've played in the past and I still am not in the correct mindset yet I believe. I need to get over the "clear ever area" idea and just get into the idea of "run like shit to the safe point". You have limited ammo, zombies run freaking fast (still trying to figure out if I like this concept or not) and you just have to keep moving. Stopping and resting isn't always an option. I'm really looking forward to playing this online.

Ok, I'm going to go. If I don't post much in the next few weeks it is because I'm either busy.. or visiting most of you in the coming weeks.
