The Coolest Mouse I've Ever Seen

While I'm playing games that I will soon review I'll leave you some goodies to look at. This is the R.A.T. gaming mouse. It is pretty much the bees knees. It is the most versatile, customizable mouse I have ever seen. Everyone keeps going on about Razer mice but this is really where its at I think. I have yet to purchase either because I am rather fond of killing everyone with my shitty logitech mouse that fits my hands really well. I can however vouch for the cyborg keyboard I own. I've had it for three years of HEAVY use and the only wear that is visible is the m and n keys are a little worn out. WASD is chrome plated to prevent wear. So here is the coolest mouse ever.

These are the games I am currently playing and will review soon.

-KOTOR (finishing up the game and going to do a plot review instead of mechanics due to the age of the game)

-Mass Effect (two will come as soon as i'm done with one)

-Alien Swarm

In the future I hope to get Dragon Age Awakening and tell you what I think of that. I am in the process of moving so my posts might a little more light weight for the next week or so.

EA Games Sale

I got an email this morning that announced that EA games was having an EPIC sale on digital copies of Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Instead of being close to 40/50 bucks Mass Effect 2 was only 20 bucks. I jumped on it. I'm going to report my feelings on using EA games digital copies compared to Steam since my last non-Valve Steam game was a little sucky. I also will be able to review these lovely games and my feelings on them. I am especially excited about Mass Effect 2, although I plan to play them in order. I want to see how it compares to my all time favorite Dragon Age: Origins.

I have continued to play Alien Swarm and it has started to grow on me. I like to play the female weapons specialist. Lots of big guns. Just my thing I guess. It is a challenging game. The only thing so far that I have an issue with is the small amount of playable missions. Perhaps they will be releasing more in the future. We will just have to wait and see.

Alien Swarm!

Alien Swarm is a game that you can get for FREE on steam. So if you don't have steam you might consider getting it to explore how it works (its a pretty great way to purchase and organize your games) and also get this game for free. Developed by some of the best behind some of our favorite games like Left 4 Dead. This is a 3rd person shooter, which is very new to me. I have always played first person shooters. An odd concept to me, but it is actually addictive and fun. You have many 'classes' you can play as, including a 'hacker/techie' who solves simple puzzles to unlock doors and access computers.
I'm not going to review this game quite yet, but I will say I really do like it. It is cute. Yes, cute. As far as shooters go. Not a very scary game, the graphics are actually really good but done in this third person way makes your characters seem like little toy troopers. Really good art for portraits also, I like the music, the sounds of the aliens. There are a lot of elements that are adopted from other games. The medics heal in the same way as in Team Fortress 2. Almost reminds me of Bioshock with less big daddies and more face hugging Half Life Like aliens (and more.)
