Owel, schedule change started Sunday, so I'm up late flipping my sleep schedule to work nights. Kinda sucks since I'll have to flip it back again in a week when I head up to NYC for Christmas. Just flipping the Girls of Stare on Mojo HD, Pulp Fiction, and the Departed.
Caught the series finale of Extras tonight. ( spoilerish commentary )
Tried the demo for Heavenly Sword, which is way too short. Also played the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune demo. Its pretty cool. Its odd that the protagonist is supposed to be a Joe Everyman, and he does play the fool at points during the opening cutscene, but they also make him out to be absurdly competent at fighting. It seems like Tomb Raider, but with a guy. I like the combat system and the control set up, they're both pretty straightforward. Its easy to aim and dodge, and I like the cover system. You don't have a heatlh bar. Well, there's kinda a health bar that you don't see, but its done like Gears of War, where you can only take so many hits. And rather than having to scout for health packs, your health recharges if you're out of harm's way for long enough. All in all, it feels like a pretty good game.
