Greetings all,
I am bored. Just thought you all should know that. I spend entirely too much time sitting in front of my damn PC playing these damn video games, that I'm starting to get bored doing so. Oh sure I do the odd bit of actual work on it, but for the most part, it's nothing more than an expensive & always-out-of-date toy. Just don't tell my wife I said that, as I don't want her to know how right she is when SHE tells me that.
Anyways..
Crap, now what was I talking about again? Oh yes. Greed.
From time to time, I enjoy playing a good mindless game. One that you can hop in & play for a bit & then just as quickly hop back out of when you realize just how mindless a game it really is or you realize how much time you just spent playing the game. Well I just found another such game & it is called:
Greed: Black Borders is very much like the game Space Siege that was released about a year ago, with one exception. Greed is much more fun to play, if as mindless. In Greed, you begin by choosing 1 of 3 classes to play as whick are:
1) Long Range Plasma - Low HP & Armor - Massive damage
2) Close Range Pyro - High HP & Strong Armor - Low, but continuous damage
3) Heavy Marine Gunner - Medium HP & Armor - Medium range & damage
Quoted from Steam:
While I have only played the game for about 5 hours total so far, which includes playing all three classes, I do have to admit that each class is unique enough to make them worth while to use. If I had to choose, I would say that I enjoyed the Pyro the best, if only because of the visuals. His flame thrower does not do the most damage, but it sure does look fantastic for such a budget game. I also liked how my Pyro's armor slightly glowed red from using the flame thrower against close ranged enemies.
I felt the games audio was ok, though it seems to be getting alot of positive feedback from the comminity, to the point where you can download the entire soundtrack for free from the games Steam page. The limited spoken voice acting is decent as well. While Greed is at it's base a budget title game, it's visuals are fantastic for the size of the game. With glowing lights & pulsing laser beam force fields to sparks as your rounds hit objects.
