Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Feels...UNFINISHED!!!

Image
Insomia Games has done something absolutely spectacular with Marvel's Spider-Man 2. I've just completed my story playthrough; finishing most of the side content along the way and it was a ride from start to finish. I'm going to try to avoid SPOILERS as much as possible but do forgive me if I do. By now you've seen the opening set piece for Spider-Man 2 but if you haven't its one hell of an opening. They go big. Insomnia comes out swinging and from there it keeps going up in scale and excitement. It's your classic Spider-Man story with some very familiar villains, some wonderful sequences and some very fun setups for what's to come with an Insomnia twist. I'll forgo talking about the story so we don't spoil anyone so I'll jump into my takeaways from Marvel's Spider-Man 2. I absolutely love everything about Marvel's Spider-Man 2, even though I could see some of the story points coming a mile away, it was still fun to experience. Jumping bet

I cannot wait for Spider-Man 2!! I was sold before with the earlier gameplay segment but just finding out now that the world is so much bigger and the swinging looks much much improved, has me so hyped. Everything about this game, from the villains, to combat, costumes and now the world itself makes me feel like I just want to spend hour swinging around. October 20th can't come soon enough. === Courtesy of Games News Network video credit: PlaystationYoutube

  If you don't know by now I absolutely love Spider-Man 2. The fact that we'll get to jump between Peter and Miles and also play as Venom Spidey has me hyped. I love Miles's new hairdo and even MJ's. The game is set to drop on October 20 and you know I already got it locked in. ===== Courtesy of Your Friendly Neighborhood Game News Network Video: Youtube.

Final Fantasy XVI: Demo Impression

  Yes, I know this is quite late as the demo for Final Fantasy XVI was released back on June 12th, but it needs to be said that this is one of the best demos I've played to date. The demo gives you two snippets from the game. The first few opening hours which ends in an unbelievable moment (no spoilers here). Once you finish that, it gives you a slice of the game a few hours in with unlocked abilities. One is story heavy while the other is more about the combat system. Starting up the first story-related segment is a wonder. You're placed into control of the Phoenix Eikon with no idea of what's going on while you fighting against Ifrit. It transitions seamlessly to see you take control of Clive as he hunts for the Shiva Dominant. You're treated to some story related cutscenes that setup up the, and I hate to use it, Game of Thrones-like story. This story is DARK, that needs to be said upfront and honestly, for me--it works. Once this segment transitions over to younger
