Naruto # 504

I've been the Naruto Shippuden manga for a long time and I just wanted to share what I read with everyone else who may see this. So lets begin, in this chapter the conclusion to Kushina's story of how she and Minato died sealing the Nine tailed fox inside Naruto. I won't spoil how it happens but its sad and heart warming. Then it ends with Naruto biding farewell to his mother. I thought it was a good chapter mainly because it put to rest how the Ninetails got sealed inside Naruto and you found out more about his parents. Now that he has complete control over Nine tails chakra he can master that secret technique he has been working on.

Darksiders

I almost got to the end of Darksiders before I sent it back because I lost interest. I did like what I played but it was too much like Zelda for me. I had hoped that an American version of Zelda would be different. But that is not what I find very wrong with the game. The combat was a very big weak point for me. There was really no strategy to it just hacking and slashing. The story was however a very interesting concept. You play as one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse War. It turns out that the Apocalypse started prematurely before mankind would be able to properly defend themselves. War being the only Horsemen there is blamed for it all. He offers to find the one truly responsible for this and sets out to on his quest with the Watcher making sure he keeps on track. The story was interesting enough to keep me playing for almost to the end but the bland combat and feeling like I've done this before kept me from finishing it.

Limbo Walkthrough finished

I finally finished Limbo. I have to say it was definitely worth the 15 bucks. Everything is crafted so well you just have to experience it.

Limbo impressions

I have been playing Limbo one of the summer of arcade games and I have to say that what I've played so far is astounding. I have never played a game where the death of character made me so disturbed. The thing is there is no distractions like background music or boat loads of blood. There is only the focus of what I the player am doing on screen, whether the character I'm controlling or other things I run into are doing those deadly deeds. Even thou there is no apparent story I was totally sucked in thanks to the atmosphere and art style the game presents. The silhouette black and white color style works well for the game and good signs of what to do to solve puzzles as well a forgiving checkpoint system makes the game not frustrating. I will hopefully finish the game tomorrow and give my final thoughts.

My Deathspank impressions

I have been enjoying my time with Deathspank but it is starting to get a little tiring. The constant fetch quest are annoying even with the humor and the combat is very simple. It started off strongly with a stylish intro and some easy starting quest. The dialog is for the most part funny and the combat was easy to grasp using the the four face buttons and D-pad for attacking with certain weapons and selecting food items and potions. As time went on I started to feel like I was just grinding for the next area and killing anything that attacked me and doing repetitive task for the people in need. They even made fun of the fact that I had to do so much fetch questing, but it wasn't that funny since I had to do it. The character Deathspank is a hero to the downtrodden and was told by a fortune teller that he was destined to be a great hero and get an artifact called the artifact. Along the way he helps people in need to maintain his hero status. I found that I liked the guy his voice doesn't really bother me that much. The weapons he uses range from hammer boots to chicken guns, it is sometimes funny to read the description of the items you gain along the way. So now I'm taking a break from Deathspank, I only got about a third of the way through. I may return to it later this summer.
