Red Dead Redemption, Puzzle Quest 2
I played a bit of Red Dead Redemption, which I like more than I imagined I would. I didn’t do anything important, just roaming around the wildness helping old crazy ladies who can’t believe their hubby is dead, and giving medicine to crazy ladies who lie around in the desert hoping to find God. There sure are a lot of crazy people in the desert. I just like how the game promotes exploration more than any other game I’ve seen before.
Puzzle Quest 2 also came out today, and I got through the tutorial quest, which mildly gleamed over the main mechanics. But I’ve played the first one, it’s not difficult to pick up. The game changed pretty much all the RPG mechanics, adding attack and defense and weapons and all that. You can use action points to deal straight damage to an opponent, a good change in a game where dealing a fair amount of damage has been hard, and the battles seem shorter overall. Plus, the shift of story to a single endangered town and the art change make it much moodier. I do find the out of battle interface a little...disconcerting, but I guess it’s just a general change that’s annoying me, and it’s still better than the first one.
