It's time for yet another edition of What's Up!
So, what is up this month? Some catching up, in the form of playing through the awesomely brutal Darksiders. Like many have said before, the game shares a lot of gameplay elements with the Zelda games, but it presents them in a more gritty, gory fashion. At first, it seems that all those similarities that people talk about were in fact very vague, but as you make your way to your first real mission, it becomes a lot more apparent.

Other than that, I'm also playing Dead Space 2. Not a lot to say about it, other than that it's a sequel in the simple sense; more of the same and some extra stuff on top and a whole lot more variety in environments. It's a traditional sequel-treatment in the good sense that it's more of the brutal necromorph slaughtering. It's great!
I recently also played the first two episodes from the Back to the Future season, made by none other than the modern point-and-click adventure gurus at Telltale. As I'm struggling to express myself about them, I'll just begin by saying that I'm a huge fucking fan of BTTF. I love the movies and have watched them more times than I can count. As for the games, so far Telltale has given the franchise a more than righteous game treatment, managing to capture that adventurous and even the nostalgic feel you get from the movies. Kudos for that, Telltale! You've given us the BTTF-games that we've waited for so long.
That's all for this time. Keep on gaming!
Marcus out.
