alex in prototype = 8 levels of douche

I know everyone is probably sick of the hype and talk behind prototype but there is one thing I am surprised never really got discussed and that is just how douchey the character design of alex is.

Ok heres the check list of douche

tight pants = emo slash metal heat douche

cowboy boots = cowboy douche

popped collar = obnoxious loud douche (Undershirt)

hoodie = dark misunderstood douche

secondpoppedcollar = nerdy underspoken douche (is that a sweater vest overtop of the hoodie)

sweater vest = pretentious learned douche

leather jacket = Tom Cruise from war of the worlds douche

Now i don't want to complain too much cause the game is pretty fun but what were they thinking. 8 douches make a right? Well ok I can live with that

I just finished Ghostbusters for PS3

I decided to play Ghostbusters on PS3 because the 360 version at work was rented. I also thought I would get some better graphics but was sad to learn that this game is yet another title that uses in game graphics for its cut scenes so it doesn't really matter which version you play the graphics are kinda bad. The game was still fun non the less.

I would recommend renting this game since I finished it in about 3 play sessions totaling roughly 10 hours and even though the game is short it is pretty sweet. See what I did right there ha ha. I digress. The game was written by the same people who wrote the movies and has the same voice actors. Your are a new recruit for the team and you receive no shortage of delicious facetious nick names from established team. Especially Venkman (Bill Murray)who once again reprises his role as delicious comedic relief.

Over all the game plays through like a 3rd movie referencing the previous 2 on multiple occasions. Best of all the Stay Puff man is back for s'more. Don't worry there are plenty of like jokes in the game. They did give you four different proton pack modes to spice up your busting of ghosts. Which was nice because each weapon feels different and changes the game play enough to keep from being too too repetitive.

Final rating is 7.5 out of ten although the game is simple and on rails in a lot of situations it is still very much the ghostbusters.

As an afterthought I went to check out the website (http://www.ghostbustersgame.com/)

In Response to the Previous Post

Shadow of the Colossus sucked!

There I said it. I immediately feel better. A lot better.

With the announcement of The Last Guardian getting everyone in an uproar of simultaneously shitting their pants all over the place and ball washing of Team ICO. I stand alone on an island with this sentiment of hatred and bitterness. Since I still have a sour taste in my mouth from Shadow of the Colossus I'll tell you why it sucked.

I remember hearing the buzz about the title. Leading up to my actual playing of the game I heard legendary and earth shattering and revolutionary and a bunch of other wrong words. Guess what your game wasn't a game.

There was no story. I say this because the story you thought was in the game was what you extrapolated from the simple cut scenes throughout the game. Who was that girl? Who was the shadow? Why was the world empty? Why were the only living creatures lizards? These are the questions that were never answered in the game. You were led to believe the answers were there but they were simply hinted at.

There were no characters. Sure there were a handful of giant statues you had to figure out where to stab but beyond that and your horse and that dead girl you carried there was nothing. Oh wait there was that light thing that pointed out where to go to get to the next creature and kill it. Awesome! Wait what if I don't want to run 20 minutes through an empty landscape void of everything but a ruined gazebo here and there?

Don't get me wrong the graphics of that game were awesome but that might have to do with the fact that there was nothing to render. There was no skinning and texturing besides green grass and blue sky. Probably a few ruins here and there as well. Oh I almost forgot about all the hair on the colossuses or colossi or whatever they were they were hairy.

I just want one thing from Team ICO and that is for them to make The Last Guardian a real game.

Can I have this check list?
Drops: armor and weapons.
Characters: maybe more than 11 this time. Fucking around: going from boss to boss is ok but there seem to be alot of games that managed to make pissing around in an environment fun. Peons to thwart: call me crazy but sometimes I just like destroying small enemies like flies. Eating lizards: ok I liked that part. Theres just something about eating reptiles that makes you feel badass
Online Multiplayer: Just joking I just said that to troll.
Easter egg rewards: When I spend 34 minutes climbing vines and jumping from outcropping edge to roots to foliage to make it up a cliff maybe give me something for my efforts. Its just polite. A leveling system with unlocks: I mean more than making my grab circle bigger.

Ok just give me all that and I will be fine. Oh could you also leave out an overwhelming sense of guilt because I destroyed some stoic beasts for no reason other than getting a zombie girlfriend.

Thanks I look forward to your fans trying to castrate me soon.
