The Truth About Video Games 1
I put 1 because I play a lot of video games, so I will probably make multiple posts about video games. Anyways, I ran across this article and wanted to give my own 2 cents on it and the games they feature (I won’t go into every one).
1. Half Life 2
I actually just started playing this game today. You can download it off of Steam which is super awesome if you don’t already have it. It also comes in their Orange Box deal (what I got.. I wanted to play Portal too).
Anyways, after my shameless advertising, THIS GAME IS SCARY! Not like super ew gross guts scary, but god it makes you so jumpy! It’s like watching thriller movie. They cleverly designed the game in a way that makes you jump every corner you turn. There’s one part in the very beginning that you have to jump out of a window while you’re trying to run from someone… and what did they put underneath said window? A table that breaks and makes a loud noise! OUCH!
2. Bejeweled
Oh the hours of playing this on the plane ride from here to Germany… there are so many free rip offs of this game, it’s ridiculous! But, I guess imitation is the best compliment right?
3. Guitar Hero
Now, everyone says that “oh, hey this is so original!” but… it’s not! It’s sort of like a rip-off of Dance Dance Revolution isn’t it? I’m not saying that Guitar Hero isn’t awesome, but by no means is it original. Unfortunately, DDR was released in 1999 in the United States so it missed this list by a year.
4. The Sims
Oh how I loved the Sims!! I spent countless hours playing this game, placing me and whoever my crush or boyfriend at the time as husband and wife. What I love is that when I was in middle school, I had me and my current boyfriend together… and now I have him again!
5. World of Warcraft
I have to admit… I got into this game. This is my old character, that a friend is now playing since I quit. Honestly though, my favorite thing is the WoW Freakout.
Anyways, the truth about video games, which I will say probably several times… is that when it comes down to it, they’re not as bad as people make them out to be! I am very social and half because I play video games with my boyfriend and his friends. I love it!
My cousin would appreciate this website. We were recently discussing about this. hehe
