D's newest game addiction

Its been a little while since I have blogged about video games. Which is funny, since Video Games is a MAJOR part of this blog (umm... it IS in the title!). I cannot remember if I shared this or not, but D bought a subscription to GameFly. Its basically a game rental service like Netflix. He requests game in an online queue and then he gets them sent to him 1 at a time. He has tried out a few, some were bombs and some are actually fun. This is his latest GameFly rental and I think it looks really fun (I even want to take the controller away from him haha!):

Now I know it looks kinda questionable, but really it looks like a lot of fun and its HILARIOUS! Basically you play as the "Overlord" who is the big guy in the middle of the picture. You control your minions - the gremlin looking guys (DON'T GET WET! haha... remember that movie??) and the gremlins are SOOOO FUNNY! They bring you treasure, they kill the enemy characters for you and provide the must hilarious sound bites. And even the enemy bosses are HILARIOUS! Seriously... this game is one of those games when you can actually have fun watching someone else play.

This boss guy is crazy. He is an evil king who WON'T STOP EATING! You know how he fights you? By rolling over you and then trying to sit on you! Watching D play this really made me LOL.

D is onto a new game...

I bought this for him for Christmas last year. He played it a bit and then it got put on the shelf. He just pulled it off again not too long ago. He recently started an account with GameFly, a mail order game rental place a lot like Netflix or Blockbuster Online. He has requested God of War 2 so he figured he better beat the first installment first.

The game is centered on Greek Mythology. As the main character, Kratos, runs around and fights he meets up with Zeus, Athena, Aries, etc.

Doesn't really seem like my type of game but he enjoys it. Its on the PS2 so it does not have as nice of graphics as the XBox360 games.
