I thought Clock Blockers was an interesting concept:
I'm kinda curious if the concept is based on some video game or something. But it is a cool exercise in 4-dimensional thinking.
The trailer for the latest iteration of Tomb Raider looks pretty incredible, and not as uncanny-valley-ish as you'd expect:
Hmm, I didn't think Darksiders did well enough to warrant a sequel. This time, instead of playing war, you play death. Of course, I'm not sure if they could do any other sequels with the other Horsemen. Death and War have always been the "coolest" of the horsemen, I doubt there's much desire to play Famine or Pestilence.
While I'm on the topic of video games, since the PS store is finally up, I got some of that DW7 DLC. Alas, not all of the stuff that's already come out is available yet, but I did get the DW and DW6 costumes, the Nanman campaign stages, and the dagger-axe (why do they call it that instead of the scythe?) and bombs. Well, I also downloaded the Japanese voice option, even though I'd never use it, because I'm OC like that. Its free, so why not get it for completeness' sake.
It is totally annoying that even thought the scythe was Yue Ying's weapon, she's not even effin' proficient in it, and there's no "dagger axe master" seal! What moron let this happen? I was hoping to switch to that instead of the staff, but I guess I can't. The bombs are an interesting enough weapon, I was thinking they'd be awkward to use, but they aren't really. Also interesting, it seemed that in Conquest mode the highest you could get was a +4 stat boost from an officer drop, but cool, it looks like in the Nanman stages, you can get +8s. Of course, given the length of just the first stage, its prolly still more efficient to just repeat champions of chaos over and over.
I do almost have all the trophies though. Just need to pick up the last of Meng Huo's skills, and that should get me the penultimate trophy, which will in turn give me the "got all trophies" trophy.
