Hey, everyone. Merry Christmas. This game is the most talked about new game for quite some time. It uses some new technology to give you truly awesome graphics. The graphics are a whole 'nother level. Really impressive. You are battling your way through an old castle against some impressive baddies. You are trying to reach the inner sanctum of a megalomaniac with a god complex. Your desire in this is for revenge because the dude killed your old man.
I don't really go for sword fighting games for the simple reason that they are not my style of games. If you like that genre this is almost a 'must buy'. That's really an overused term in gaming, don't you think? It's not as overused as addictive, though.
I'd rate this game as: five stars for graphics.
: four stars for story
: three stars for game play, for myself. If you like this genre, game play would be rated four stars. Let me elaborate a little. To me, sword fighting games are a bit hokey. I find them hard to project myself into. When I play a shooter game, I spill the same blood in the same mud as the guys on the screen. I get into it, like role play almost. When I hunt dinosaurs in Carnivores, I think I'm the great white hunter. I just can't do that with the sword fighting because I'm just swiping a finger on the screen. Sounds silly, I know. The bottom line is, if you dig the genre, you'll have to have it and you won't be disappointed. It's a reasonable $5.99 on the app store.
On another subject, the snow continues to fall. It's the first white Christmas for me in some time and it is pretty. We've had an additional two or three inches tonight and thank God there's been no freezing rain. I hate that stuff. Looking through my songbooks I discovered that I do not have the music for White Christmas. That's a bloody drag, as our friends the Brits are wont to say.
Tonight I read a different kind of short story by Michael Graeme. I downloaded it through the Stanza app but it is also available for your PC. I got it, for free on Feedbooks. Here's the recipe: A group of criminals have been transferred to a beautiful island. The island is operated by monks and the prisoners have the run of certain areas. They are required to participate in meditation and the lead character gets 'into' it. By doing so he 'arrives' at a spiritual plane where he is allowed to move up to a different area. He soon discovers that this new area is merely a place where people have become content with their lack of true freedom. The story is about a 30 minute read and left me wondering what really went on. To describe my questions about the story would merely ruin the tale for you, I guess. The title of the story is Escape From Paradise Island. The author is certainly a good storyteller, rare in this present world. My thanks to Michael Graeme for this free e-book.
