Unlike hardcore role-playing, first-person shooter, or platformer gamers I enjoy a wide variety of games. My main criteria for a game to be good is to be able have a good lasting appeal, a game that doesn't get too old or boring for years. I'm not a big graphic critic but as long as certain pieces create a rather enjoyable game that doesn't get boring in a week, then I'm satisfied.

My main gaming interest is PS2 online and I'm a member of www.playstation2.onlineconsoles.com

  Don't look at this picture!

  

  I don't know about you, but my pants are soaked after merely looking at this screenshot of BF2: Modern Combat. I think BF2 addiction has already passed, I think that I'm at the next level which is when BF2 becomes part of my soul. A day without BF2 is nearly equivalent to a day without eating. So if I was to ever take a FULL week off from the game, I might not make it out alive, legit.

  No but seriously, I can hardly get myself to play any other game in my PS2 library with this game in my possession. It is just so freaking awesome online and the more I play, the better I get and the more I feel the urge to play. Well, anyways I think I will go play some right now, I mean why not feed an addiction

  The regret burns at me deep inside

  About a year ago I made several game purchases...Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, Killzone, and ATV Offroad Fury 4. These games were great at first, but soon I started to suffer from...boredom. The repetition of these games bore into my soul, the lag of Killzone dug into my heart, and the challenge of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow racked my brains. Eventually after much suffering, I decided to trade these games in too...Gamespot...where I received about $10 total. I used this money to help buy Bomberman: Generation and Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Both are good games, but yet now that I look back on it...was it worth it? My mind says no yet at that time my impulses said yes. With the games now gone and my heightened interest in PS2 online gaming...I wish for them back. My pulse shudders and I grow faint from the thought of my...trade-ins. While none of them were particularly outstanding games, they all had online (splinter cell only xlink now). Also while Killzone's lag and utter repetition almost killed me twice, yes twice...I now realize...it was all I every wanted. My whole life has just been existent for me to buy these three games and appreciate them for how they were...

  Okay, it's really not that bad but I want those games back!

  Maybe if I post them in this blog, I can pull them right off the screen...

  My latest attempt at a pc shooter

  My first time playing a shooter on the pc for more than 2 hours was on Combat Arms.

  While I could see some potential for fun, my computer couldn't handle the game that well. I had to put everything on lowest settings just so the lag would be bearable. But for some reason the sound would only work about a fourth of the time while I was playing...and playing a shooter muted isn't that fun at all obviously. Combat Arms lasted a week before uninstallment and I left pc shooters alone.

  But then today I remembered a game called Soldier Front, another f2p shooter. I was in the mood, so I downloaded it despite an hour of waiting and registering at random sites just to download and play the darn thing. It worked to me surprise and I entered a game to instantly be hit with the same lag that plagued me on Combat Arms. The minute I took a few steps and got killed by some guy, I knew I wouldn't enjoy it. But I tried my hardest to grow to like pc shooters...ultimately getting turned off them even more. Soldier Front lasted about 2 hours on my comp before I uninstalled it and reflected on my time wasted playing it that could've went towards writing an essay.

  Darn YOU! Now I'm still doing the essay as I procrastinate further typing this blog...
