In the grim darkness of the far future...

There is only this cop-out pseudo review post.
     So, I picked up the new hotness, Space Marine, on the PS3; as did several of my buddies. So far we've played 1 on 1 and 2 on 2 in the multi-player setup. I've also played a few of the levels in the campaign. Can't say enough good things about the game. Multi-player modes are fun, at least with 2+ people per team. One on one is pretty slow. We're going to try to all jump on the same team and join the multiplayer queue as we're in the process of getting headsets all-round so we aren't all conversing via speaker phone.
     The multiplayer is set up in levels. The more you play, the more kills and flag captures you get, the more experience and the further you progress along the track to level 41. As you level up, you unlock new abilities, new wargear and new appearance options. As it is currently, I'm enjoying running around as a Black Templar tac-marine with a plasma gun, but we'll see what happens when I unlock the plasma cannon or lascannon for the Devastator.
I highly recommed you check out the game if you get a chance.
Until next week...

Hobby delay caused by Hobby related release

     That's right, I picked up Kill Team for the PS3 this week when it became available for download and it's cratered my hobby productivity. I expect Space Marine will have a somewhat equal if not more intense effect once it releases September 9th.
     My wife, my little brother and I played host to 3 of our gaming buddies Wednesday evening and we passed the controllers around for several hours playing co-op through the various Kill Team levels. Quite an enjoyable game. The length of the game is acceptable for the price point and I'll get better at aiming shots with the right stick which are the only two cons set against a huge list of pros.
     My suggestion, if you haven't checked it out yet, do so. It's available on PSN and the XBOX Live Arcade.
