  Culdcept Saga? Bring it On!

  

  I added clothes to my succubus because I felt a little strange wrapping a string around her crotch and calling it pants. So, yeah. There it is.

  Culdcept Saga and I have a love/hate relationship. I load in Culdcept Saga, give the box a hug, and pray for the best. Culdcept Saga, in turn, kicks my ass. Again, and again, and again.

  But I still love it. Don't ask me why, but I do, and every time Markt obliterates my dignity, I pick the charred scraps off the floor, tape it back together, and forgive my adversary for outsmarting me yet again. I have roughly a hundred cards, and too many hours invested in this game in hopes that one day I'll get some points.

  So I've been playing Lost Odyssey recently, and though the early boss battles are a bit on the difficult side, I still managed to make it in one piece to the third disc. I'll have a review up of that on www.gamevalor.com later this week.

  20,000 points, thanks in part to this gem of a title: Kingdom Under Fire

  

  See, the problem with this picture I made comes when you look at the lizardman on the left and come to the realization that an enemy that wears metal diapers is not a very imposing enemy. Then again, I could think differently than you.

  Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom. There, I said (wrote) it after so many failed attempts, since I originally believed the game was called Kingdom OF Fire (which is, of course, a call back to the movie Reign of Fire, which is a completely different matter to discuss). Now I've perused a review or two and have to say that for a game I plucked off the rental shelf simply because I liked the box art, the title isn't nearly as bad as it could have been. It could have been Two Worlds with an elf chick, bad. Or Beowulf with less rhythm game action, bad. The possibilities are endless and none of them sound good.

  In other news, I hit 20,000 achievement points on Xbox Live and feel like both a winner and a loser. But I'm going to try to focus on the "winner" part of that equation because, hey, if I pretend like I didn't sink hundreds of hours into getting that score, then it's almost like I actually didn't.

  What? You mean to tell me I'm not dead?

  Holidays are a crazy time of year. We all know that, and so I've disappeared from the reviews scene for a few weeks to stuff my face with eggnog. Or whatever.

  New review up, which unfortunately is missing a companion artwork piece to be displayed beside it. Oh well. If anyone was planning on checking out NiGHTS on the Wii, might I suggest you think otherwise because the game is less than amazing, which makes me le sad. Also, if anyone had any desire to purchase Blacksite: Area 51 on the 360/PS3/PC/whatever, might I also suggest you look into renting the title first because that, too, isn't great.

  I wrote a review for the latter at www.gamevalor.com and if you want to check it out, I could guide you through a blow by blow account on why this game... um, blows.
