#186 – Viewtiful Joe (PS2)
At first Viewtiful Joe didn’t look very appealing to me. Well I found the artwork anything but Viewtiful. As I started playing the game it started to grow on me, the game grew on me and the difficulty grew on me literally. It is true that Viewtiful Joe is a side scrolling DMC type game which is as hard as DMC itself. I found it harder since I’m better with 3D action. The moves and abilities become so fun to use and that is when the game starts to get addicting. The superhero plot was hilarious and the game just spells fun or rather… VIEWTIFUL game man VIEWTIFUL game!
#185 – Bully (PS2)
Activists actually protested against this Rockstar (GTA series developers) game in various regions stating that it would influence young students to take up violence in school. Well, violence-wise I don’t think it’s any worse than the GTA series. In fact it’s not even remotely close to GTA’s violence, profanity and such. Bully was a breath of fresh air from the GTA series. This time around you’re a school boy who has a striking resemblance to Wayne Rooney. A notorious and frustrated teenager who’s about to unleash his wrath on a school he’s transferred to. Bully just proves to be fun and has a lot of gameplay elements which keeps you entertained. I’ve clocked many hours on this game but I usually only play it while taking break from long RPGs. This game is the pinnacle of relaxing yourself, not taking things too seriously and letting everything out.
