Taking a Portal to the next Bastion.

In case the title of this post wasn't obvious, and puntastic enough, I recently finished Portal 2 and Bastion.

Here are my thoughts on both:

Portal 2:
     Portal was superior to Portal 2. The primary reasons for this being ones that can't be replicated. The twist in Portal where you escape from the final test chamber, and the newness of the experience really made the first Portal game stand out, both made it a step above Portal 2. Even so Portal 2 has great writing, introduces new mechanics to go together with the original portal mechanic, and is all-around top notch in it's delivery of all those things.

Bastion:
     This game is probably in third place, behind Saints Row: The Third and Skyrim, for my top game of 2011. For an independent game (Despite being eventually published by Warner Brothers) that's a pretty big accomplishment. The art, music, and emotion invested in each of the moments really makes the game shine.

(Editors Note: I wrote this up briefly a few months back before being buried in college work, I figured I would put out my initial thoughts on both games after having completed them.)

Lack of Updates.

Sorry about the lack of updates, whomever might be reading, with AP exams coming up, I haven't had time to play many games, and I won;t be playing Portal 2 for awhile.

I'm sure by now many of you have heard of or experienced the whole PSN ordeal going on, it seems like between that, Duke Nukem Forever, and more, that anything is possible right now.

Also, Wii HD, no one knows what it's going to be, so I'm ignoring all rumors until E3 when we hear more info.

Been playing a bit of Fallout New Vegas here and there, seems like the next piece of downloadable content, which will hopefully be good, as opposed to the much hated "Dead Money".

I'll probably have another update towards the end of the week, when I've taken my final AP Exam, till then, folks, stay frosty.
