Okay, it’s bad enough that Bush is still in office. But now comes word that the guy who wrote Catwoman is writing the script for the new live-action Transformers flick. One GAFer put it best: “There is no God.”
And since I’m already bitching, I might as well mention Sonic Heroes which I just started playing. Question: why the fuck does every damn Sonic game nowadays insist on forcing the player to control his ultra lame ass buddies? Tails is admittedly still cool, and Knuckles was a decent “is a good guy or bad guy?” character when you really didn’t have to touch him. It’s amazing how Sonic Team created a winning formula (just running, with nothing but one single button to worry about), yet they can’t seem to stick to it.
At least one of the games I recently grabbed is proving to be worth the time and money: I finally got around to getting a copy of Burnout 3, and its just as fun as the first time I played it. My only problem is the music, which nothing but the same licensed garbage in every other EA title. Plus there’s this annoying DV, MC Scratch, or Dash, or something equally gay. Also, and call me crazy, but I rather liked the music from part. Hell, the only reason I held onto part 1 for so long was the music from the very first track.
Also, I just got Mega Man X Command Mission for GameCube via my wonderful editor at Nick Mag, so I have that to tear into as well. And I forgot to mention before that I finally got my copy of Chris Kohler’s book, Power-Up.
Plus on the personal side of things, there’s been a ton of developments. Most of which I really can’t go into details (at least not just yet) but it’s mostly consultation work, some right up my alley, and something else which isn’t, though it might prove to be a good chance to put my money where my mouth is. I’ll explain later…
