Gonna go check out Ice Age today with the woman. No real clue what the heck it's about but it seems just about everyone has enjoyed it so what the hell. I really like those horribly overpriced nachos they have at the theatre anyways. If you pay $3.50 for nachos, the must be good. So for some reason I've been playing Counter-Strike again lately and strangely playing probably the best I ever have. I'm pretty sure I'll take a dive in to the competition scene if I can make my way in to a central clan after a couple more weeks of practice. I suspect I'll get my ass handed to me and run away crying, but a dude has to try. Also, I forgot to link this the other day. For the folks who have been affected by the post rate limit, have a look at this, er.. no wait I mean have a look at this. Movie: On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

    Shadowman 2: Second Coming (PS2)

    Alright, I rented this yesterday. Found out from Gamefaqs msg board that it was about a 25-30 hour game. Figured if i didn't beat it this time, i'd rent it again to finish it off. Well, either I was really lucky, or everyone on the Gamefaqs msg board sucks, cause I beat the game in 11 hours. I got everything, all the secret items, health & magic bonuses.
    This is a renter.

    Graphics:
    Good, nothing mindblowing, but solid PS2 stuff. Nice level design. Some sub par skinning.

    Sound:
    The music sucked. (except for Russia & some of the village)
    Everything else sounded fine.

    Gameplay:
    You can't die, at all. Well you do die, but you have unlimited lives. Items & weapons were cool. Fun puzzles.

    Story:
    This is the weakest part. Not only does it suck, but they got rid of just about all the creepyness from the first game. I kept playing cause the gameplay was nice, not cause the story was interesting.

    Overall:
    If you enjoyed the first game, give this a shot. It's nowhere near as creepy, or long, but it's still a solid game.
    Another solid rental for the PS2.
