Some serious gaming went down over the course of last week. I finally played GTA4's new DLC Gay Ballad of Tony, finished Uncharted 2, and picked up Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the Wii. TGBOT was another nice additional story to the game, although paying roughly 20 bucks for each DLC feels like a little too much. I like the main character Louis more than I did Johnny Klebitz in the Lost and Damned, and the overall story is alot more fun and less serious too. You'll see a whole bunch of references from Niko's story in here, and there's even a mission where you can actually see/play near Niko during the Diamond fiasco mission. With the extra base jumping, helicopter flying and shooting, and dance club locations, it's definitely put some more GTA in GTA4 and worth the 20 bucks if you feel the need to dive into Liberty City again.
Silent Hill was more of an impulse buy, I saw some gameplay footage of the game and really liked the idea of having a game that profiles you psychologically and actually effect the outcome of the game. The game is short, but it's probably the only Silent Hill game I've really liked, and beat, which is weird cause I kinda hate the horror genre in games. I should probably note that there is absolutely no combat in the game, just escape sequences which were pretty exciting for the first half of the game. This isn't a good buy, but I'd definitely rent this game, whether you're into Silent Hill or not. It's nice to play something really different once in awhile.
Uncharted 2 is probably my pick for game of the year on PS3. It's got the perfect combination of action, cutscenes, and puzzles. The story isn't too bad and the voice work is top notch. Naughty Dog has really got the emotions on faces down and I'm excited to see what they make later on down the road. I hear the online mode is pretty good but I didn't really touch it so I can't comment. Overall this game implements crazy action sequences into crazy gameplay moments from start to finish.
