A little bit on LittleBigPlanet 2

So I have been playing LittleBigPlanet 2 lately. The more and more I play, the more I can't help but feel that the story that Media Molecule added to the game kind of ruins the game for me. Maybe it is the amount of talking at the beginning of the level or the constant stream of pop up text boxes as you play through the level. I feel like it breaks up the game too much. When I played the first LittleBigPlanet, you were left to your own devices with the level. You were able to go through the level with minimal interruptions knowing that you needed to get to the end while collecting items and bubbles for points. Now I feel like I am being harassed constantly to get through the level to continue the story. Maybe it is just me, but it definitely gets frustrating. I have also found that playing this game with at least one other person also makes the game much more enjoyable. I have been playing this with my girlfriend and it has proven to be much more fun as a co-op game than just a single player adventure. It is also one of the few games that we can play together as more and more games turn to online co-op instead of couch or local co-op. Ah, another topic to discuss sometime, co-op gaming. Hopefully we will get more time to go through more levels and maybe the interruptions will dwindle leaving us to complete the levels in peace rather than in pieces.

Another attempt at blogging on gaming

So I have decided that I would like to give blogging on my gaming experiences again. My main problem is time. I no longer have the time I once had to go through a game and be able to write about my experiences while the thoughts are fresh in my mind. Hopefully I will be able to dedicate more time to this and gaming to keep my posts fairly consistent and updated. There are a lot of new games coming out and the holiday season is upon us so new gadgets and gear will be coming out and I will try my best to stay on top of that as well as posting my thoughts. I am currently going back and playing a few games since my PS3 decided to take another crap on me and I had to send it in for service with no back up in over a year. Which reminds me, I really need to get my back ups scheduled again to prevent this from happening. Anyways, here is a quick list of the topics I would like to start out with and hopefully I will stick to it and keep the posts coming.

  • Sony's new wireless headset for the PS3 (planning on picking this up here in the next month.)
  • Batman: Arkham City
  • Battlefield 3
  • Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
  • Assassin's Creed: Revelations
  • LittleBigPlanet 2 (Old but I am just now getting around to playing through it.)
Those are just some quick ideas off the top of my head. Like I said before, I have some games I am playing through now that I never got around to and there are plenty of them. Maybe I will get some friends in on this blog and have more people discussing more topics to provide more information and other points of view. Let's see how it goes.
