Upcoming games

Being strapped for cash as I am, it gave me minor palpitations when I thought about how many games are coming out between September and Christmas season that I really, really want. Hell, I've already missed out on games that I couldn't afford. I'm pretty dead-set on getting the Silent Hill HD collection. I still have my PS2 and both Silent Hill 2 and 3, but that series is very close to my heart, even more so than Final Fantasy, so it's a must buy, as is probably Silent Hill: Downpour. The last couple of installments in the series haven't thrilled me much, but I'm such a Silent Hill whore. As in Uncharted 3, as well as Arkham City and Bioshock Infinite. Probably also Final Fantasy XIII-2, the Resident Evil HD collection, Metal Gear HD collection, Tomb Raider and Skyrim. Sheesh. So, okay. My eyes are bigger than my gaming budget.

But, things may be looking up on the housing front. Found a potential roomie, and we're applying for a townhouse. Fingers crossed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


These books are pretty fun if you're just looking for some campy detective stories and a lot of all-male action. One thing that I liked about this one was Mitch's growing self-awareness of how much of a giant whore he is (but I like that he doesn't make excuses about it), and that he realizes he's got a pretty awesome thing going on with Vince, and it's just putting him in neutral that he's always chasing around Boy Morgan. I also want to know where this fantasy land is that all men are gay, because I'd really like to go there and videotape it all for prosperity.

Deadline by Mira Grant

Deadline by Mira Grant

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A very worth successor to Feed, and this book is cut from the same mold. I did prefer Feed to Deadline, but the first book in the Newsflesh trilogy was a very hard act to follow. It felt fresh (o-ho!) in a world of stale zombie books. It met with all the same sort of cultural beats you expect from the genre, but added our modern blogger culture to it, making for something unique. But what makes this series great are the characters. I personally prefer Georgia, which may be another reason why I liked Feed more than Deadline, but Shaun is a great POV character, and I found his inability to cope with Georgia's death one of the great things about the story. Someone who's so surrounded by death, and still aches from the loss. It made Shaun extremely human.

Can't wait for Blackout! The teaser in the back of the book was just mean.
