Game Completion Competition ? Barry's Week 4 Blog

What?s that? No balls in my mouth?? Points? But wasn?t I talking smack during the VG Confidential? I have failed whoever it is that?s backing me in this competition.

After a highly successful set of consecutive weeks, I pitched a shutout this week. My wife and I have put about 3 hours into Kirby?s Epic Yarn, which is a very fun game, but completely without challenge. You can?t die in the game, so it?s perfect for a non-gamer to play with a gamer. There?s no real frustration to be had when she messes up because it?s completely without repercussion. Now, when we played New Super Mario Wii?.that?s a completely different story.

Other than Kirby, I put about 2 hours into Rage today. I had previously started this game about 10 months ago, having preordered it and having it delivered to my home on launch day through Amazon.com. On a side note, make sure to make any of your Amazon purchases by clicking on the amazon link on our site. Okay, business out of the way, I found this game to be good, but nothing more than a thinly disguised corridor shooter/fetch-quest-a-thon. The game looks pretty good on the 360, but nothing super. The action is pretty good, but the story is completely forgettable. When I originally purchased this game, there were two things that I wanted it to be: Borderlands and Fallout. Turns out, it was neither of those two things. Again, the game is fun, but not the blockbuster that a lot of people hoped it would be.

The third game that I?ve declared for the competition is Madworld, but I didn?t put any more time into it. I will get back to it, but I?ve just been finding fun in other games.
Going forward, I expect Dust: An Elysian Tale to be my next declaration, but it won?t come until I finish one of the three games I?m currently working on.
Well, that?s about all for this week. Make sure that you listen to the VGConfidential podcast this coming week to hear me receive crap from Anthony, who is going to be jumping from worst to first this week.
