		<description><![CDATA[So I played one more mission, and then decided to just pack it in. How this got a reputation as a competent shooter, and why anyone had any positive expectations for The Cartel, is hard to figure. I suppose it's possible that the story of three brothers got to the like of Justin McElroy. But I've got brothers of my own, and the story did nothing for me. Anyways, I took some more notes. Enjoy! <a href="http://ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/call-of-juarez-bound-in-blood-one-last-time/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3618569&amp;post=438&amp;subd=ramblingsof4d&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Bastion. What an absolutely magical, generous game. The folks at Supergiant really outdid themselves. I had expected was something in the Braid model, a quirky indie game built around the premise of exploring one or two core ideas. And while the narrator is certainly a stand-out element of the game, it's only a part of what makes the game amazing. <a href="http://ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com/2012/01/24/bastion/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3618569&amp;post=425&amp;subd=ramblingsof4d&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know I'm in the minority, but as I laid out in my last entry, I did not particularly care for Arkham Asylum. It was well-crafted, but it failed to engage me. So I did not have high hopes for Arkham City, the sequel. But it turns out I was in for a surprise. I enjoyed it a lot. So much so that I blew through it in only a few days, without even meaning to. <a href="http://ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com/2012/01/19/batman-arkham-city/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3618569&amp;post=417&amp;subd=ramblingsof4d&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Certainly this is an exceptionally well crafted and technically accomplished game. That said, I've pretty much been having just barely enough fun and little enough frustration for me to keep playing it. The first and third Scarecrow bits were neat, I'll grant. But the actual gameplay does almost nothing for me. It's such a stiflingly linear, guided experience. The base combat system is good, but all the extension of it feel so artificial and game-y - These guys you can't counter, and must stun; These guys you can't hit, and must dodge; Here are some cool moves you can do, but only when your combo meter is high enough. <a href="http://ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/batman-arkham-asylum/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3618569&amp;post=415&amp;subd=ramblingsof4d&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've had a troubled history with Japanese SRPGs, but I finally one that I liked. Valkyrie Profile is not the deepest game, mechanically. There's not a lot of loot or character progression decisions. But the story was dark and fast-moving, and there are a couple of interlocking systems in it that really grabbed by attention. <a href="http://ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/valkyrie-profile-covenant-of-the-plume/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ramblingsof4d.wordpress.com&amp;blog=3618569&amp;post=408&amp;subd=ramblingsof4d&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
