I’m really enjoying Lords of Shadow and truly don’t understand some of the lower end reviews. While I can understand why some people may think it’s a God of War clone, those people probably go in playing it as if it is a clone when I think it does enough, combat wise, to differenciate itself from the God of War series. The light and shadow magic, combined with the focus system, is very satisfying when used effectively in battle.

Aside from that, the visuals are simply incredible with many jaw dropping moments in some of the later levels. The music, while not traditional Castlevania tunes, is still fitting to the gameplay and very epic in scale and the story is a refreshing take on the series with one of the most incredible endings I’ve experienced in a game in recent memory. Highly recommended!

Im Watching: Big Bang Theory and maybe catch a few movies.

Im Reading: Nothing atm.

I’m Watching: The Walking Dead episode 2 tomorrow. The first episode was great! Also, I’ve watching a lot of Netflix on my PS3. I discovered the very funny series 30 Rock there and I’m also getting to see some my favorites again, like Buffy, Angel, X-Files, Dead Zone, Pushing Daises, The Unusuals, and Dr. Who.

I’m Reading: Just finished The Somnambulist by Jonathan Barnes. I highly recommend it. VERY good book. Not sure what I’ll read next. I’m thinking I’d like to read Neil Gaiman’s American Gods again, but I also want to read Barnes second book & there is a new King book coming out soon (Full Dark, No Stars). Hmm. Choices, Choices. lol.
