What's Up? - June Edition

Hey folks! Long time no see, eh? Well, I sure wish that you know that I'm posting regularly on my website, http://www.perdiv.com! And on my twitter, http://twitter.com/caffeinegamer!
Be sure to check those out if you want more regular updates.

So, since I'm here, I'm here to talk about video games, right? I sure am. I'm here to tell you What's Up this month.

Unless you just arrived here in modern time from a hundred years in the past or so, you've probably heard of L.A. Noire. The crime investigation adventure game from Team Bondi and Rockstar that boasts the largest credits list for cast of characters in a video game yet. One of its selling points is that the team used a new facial scanning technique for capturing the actors' faces down to the smallest detail, and it looks amazing.
But it's so much more than just a facial scanning technology showcase. It's a game that's been in development for many years and the attention to detail is stunning. The writing is, for most part, excellent, and there are lots of interesting cases and characters.

I finished the game just yesterday, so I'll have a review for it up and running hopefully within a month after this post, so keep a lookout for that!
Of course, since Portal 2 was released just recently, I should get a review up for that too. I have so many things to say about that game, so much praise and love for it, but I'll keep that for another time. Gotta pack up my laptop now, work day's over!

Remember to check out my website and Twitter for more frequent updates, and keep your eyes peeled for reviews on hopefully both Portal 2 and L.A. Noire.


Until then!

Marcus out.
