Oddworld, The Missing Link and extras.

Oddworld

As some of you know I have been playing this game and for a previous gen game I have been blown away by it. I would even say it's possibly better than a lot of games coming out this gen and this game came out (looks on wikipedia) 2005 and the world that Just Add Water have made is still so rich and fun to explore for a seven year old game.
I understand after finishing it why people have raved about it so much as its such a good game.
Unlike a lot of the games in the previous generation that just made big areas which mainly looked the same and offered little difference (even the fantastic Halo 1 is guilty of this) this offers areas that are a pleasure to explore with really well done simple humour with it's writing.
The only real negatives for it are the rotating camera which can sometimes play up, the last level (Just throw enemies everywhere syndrome) and possibly a lack of a soundtrack that I'm so use to with games today.

If you are a PSN+ or have ten quid PSN credit, I would really suggest at least checking this game out, been a really nice surprise for me this one as I was expecting to be disapointed.


Would have been very happy to pay a tenner for it but to have it free via PSN+ is just fantastico.

Bought the MW3 maps as they are cheap and fancy doing the special ops missions, man people who paid for Ellite must be annoyed. 40 quid for ellite with all the stuff 11 quid now after 8ish months.
Call of the Dead on Black ops was pants and turned it off after a few minutes, thought it was gonna be a level at first not some cheap horde mode, bit of a waste of five quid PSN credit.
Oh well I will see if HMV sell PSN vouchers for a fiver and see if I can get it back for free



So The Missing Link...

I have to say I have been impressed with it. Terrible starting off though but it gets much better and offers some good parts in the game where I've really had to really think how to avoid some enemies with lots of rooms to explore.

Hasn't really added much to the story of the game which hasn't surprised me but it's been well worth a fiver which is what I paid for it.

Don't think it's worth a tenner though which is what it's original cost was but felt like a really good extended level which is what DLC should really be but most of the times just isn't.
