I got home from work last Friday with every intention of trying APB when the servers went live. The clock hit 8:30 pm, it had slipped my mind that the server went live at 7:00 pm and I had to watch Caprica on SyFy at 9, so that didn’t give me much time. I go to my computer and ran the game (that took forever to download in their shitty downloader), login, and bam some bullshit about my account being blocked. For those of you that missed it, I announced on Thursday that I had been invited to join the closed beta for APB. (Click here if you want to check it out).
Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the continuation of the long running Battlefield series finally graced our presence earlier this month. I'd heard of Battlefield before and knew of its premise, but it was a game that I just never got into in my days of PC gaming; far too busy wrapped up in Counter-Strike to notice or care about any other FPS experience on the market. Recently I've been so wrapped up in the Call of Duty experience that I forgot how good objective based gameplay can be. Obviously there is a single player component to this game, but I've yet to even explore it; this article will strictly focus on BC2's multiplayer gameplay.
Last night I ran out and picked up a game that I have been waiting for awhile. I would go into my history with Final Fantasy games, but I’m sure no one cares. So anyway, I get home, crack open a beer, and pop in the disc. The hairs on my arm stand as I watch the intro CGI scene. This CGI is beautiful.
