Need for Speed: Most Wanted

I have to say I really enjoy it so far. Each car feels very different and definitely has it's own feel. The amount of difference between each car is very large, as well as what upgrades you choose make a huge difference. I have only driven a few cars so far, the porche, arial atom, and the ford raptor. I only drove the raptor for a little bit and it felt sluggish and bulky compared to the atom I had spent the last while driving around in. After getting used to the car it was smooth sailing from me. The driving actually doesn't feel too arcadish which I quiet enjoy, I think each car feels like it would if you were actually driving. The upgrades are a really nice touch, they allow you to get rid of some things that you might find make the car bad compared to what you are used to driving. For the ariel atom, as most of you know, it is a very light car and does not provide much protection, it doesn't take much for your car to get destroyed, which makes running from the police difficult and getting through road blocks difficult. With that comes the lightness and agility you would expect from such a car. I will also add that I find cars react how I imagine they would react in certain situations. For example if you smash into a car hard enough you kind of bounce off the car and then hit it again, also when you rear end a car it actually causes that car to lose control where I find in most arcade games it causes you to slow down and gives the car you hit a little boost. I will also add that the visuals in the game are beautiful, the variety of cars I also hear is very large (only have about 7 or 8 right now).

overall the game is good so far and I am going to continue to play it and see how it progress, especially because I enjoyed the last one so much.

Dishonored

So by now I assume that a lot of you have played dishonored, and if you are anything like me (or enjoyed the bioshock series) you enjoyed it. This is one of those games that pulls you in right at the start. You play as a Corvo Attano, the legendary former bodyguard to Dunwall's Empress Jessamine Kaldwin. At the beginning of the game your Empress gets assassinated and you are the only one left at the scene when the guards come to investigate. This is where you become the dishonored, from here you decide how you want to play. You either go around and kill every one in sight, either by sneaking up behind them and silently assassinating them or by running in guns/sword/crossbow a blazing or by stealthy and not killing anyone by knocking them out when you sneak up behind them, or sleep dart works too. My first play through I did it with stealthy but killing, this is probably one of the easier routes, mainly because you can get an ability at the beginning of the game that turns the guards to dust as soon as you slit their throat. I was convinced by a friend that after completing it this way that I should replay it using stealth and not killing anyone, I agreed cause I was intrigued as to what those check boxes would mean at the end. After playing through the game for a while like this I quickly got bored.

In the end I would say this is a game to buy, it was an excellent play through the first time. I have enough other games that I wanted to dig into that I decided one play though was enough. Overall I would give it a 8/10, there are few games that can pull me back for multiple play throughs but unfortunately this is not one of them.
