Messin $&%! up with de Blob

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

I’ve been playing de Blob for the Wii. There is an interesting addiction about the game. Playing the game has the same temptation you get when looking out to winter’s first snow in the morning and seeing pure white snow untouched by anything. It’s that drive to run out and mess it all up. It’s has the same drive you get when getting a package in the mail and pulling out the large bubble wrap. After popping one, you just must pop another. Or maybe I’m just crazy.

In de Blob you must color a black and white world with bright paint. It’s a similar genre to the Katamari series I guess. I find myself unable to leave a spot uncolored. I find myself at the end of a level and noticing a white spot. I’ll go out of my way to go all the way back to the beginning to get that missed spot. If you are obsessive like me when it comes to these things, de Blob is the perfect treatment game for you. It’s also soo gratifying to roll paint all over the place making an absolute mess. I felt the same way when I played Elebits for the first time. I could care less about actually playing for score in Elebits. I just loved going into a perfectly clean and organized room and tossing, lifting, tilting slamming everything all over the place making an absolute mess! Knocking over a shelf of china and watching it smash to the ground is sooo refreshing after a hard day of work. The sound of glass smashing. Games like this really cater to my issues gaming needs.

I guess most gamers enjoy destruction by explosion. Destruction doesn’t always have to be explosions. Don’t get me wrong I love them but they are kind of overdone at this point. I mean come on, we are at a point where we are creating superheros, who’s are to explode.  However, Blast Corp was a very nice game that embraced this same idea with explosions.

What is 2 bit blogger doing?

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

My site isn’t a game review site. I simply blog about games I’m playing or news I’m interesting in. Personally, I have an issue with game reviews. I want to just spit this out, do not let anything I say on my site affect your decision to purchase a game! When I talk about a game I’m only letting the world know my feelings toward it. Even if I can’t stand a game, I will never tell anyone to not buy it because of how I feel about it. I believe this is very wrong and is doing more damage to the game industry than helping it.

However, you will hear me say do not buy a game if the game is in fact broken or bugged. There have been a few games that come to mind that were released broken. For instance a certain DS game was released and only 30 out of the 100 levels were functioning. Also, a certain Wii music game was released without being Dolby stereo even though the packaging stated it was.

When I write about a game I tag them as pReviews meaning preview, not review. It is simply my impressing. So why am I saying all this. I want to make sure people do NOT drop my site in the same category as game review sites. That is a very incorrect assumption. 2-bit Blogger is simply a 2-bit blogger who plays games and lets the world how they feel about it.
