Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (PS3)

Date Purchased: June 9, 2015
Date Completed: August 13, 2015
Price: Free (PS+)

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a short game in a setting that made me wish it was longer.  I really enjoyed the "Western" element as few games ever go there.  The graphics are cell shaded which gives the game a cartoonish look, but it's actually a nice looking game.  The voice acting is awesome (except for Dwight) and the sound is top notch.  A great story with excellent narrative.  If there are any knocks against it, it's that the story is narrated even in an intense firefight, and it's hard to concentrate on both things at the same time.  The "dueling" system also seemed more like luck than skill.  Overall really good however.  Recommend.

The Pile 08/08/2015

Picked up a couple more games recently, after finishing the last of the unfinished home console Zelda games I decided to start finishing off the handheld ones, so I picked up Link's Awakening from the eShop.  Also found Infamous: Second Son for $5, so I couldn't pass that up.

Halo Master Chief Collection: Halo 3 (Xbox One)

Date Purchased:  November 15, 2014
Date Completed: August 5, 2014
Price: Free (Xbox Game Share)

I was cruising along with Halo 3 and quite enjoying it when Majora’s Mask landed in my lap.  Halo took the back seat and I recently picked it up.  Little did I know I only had a couple hours left.  Great game and it was a huge advantage playing it right after Halo 2 as far as story is concerned.  It was a little difficult playing this one after the remastered Halo 2, but the gameplay still holds up.  The cut scenes are pretty rough compared to the beautiful Halo 2 CG.  Now only ODST and Halo 4 remain until they add Halo: Reach as DLC.  I'm calling it here...
