Time Crisis 4 is out...

and it's everything you would expect it to be. I have always considered myself a huge gamer. When I was single, and was earning quite a substantial disposable income, I bought any and every game I thought I might want. These days my income is mostly allocated towards more adult expenses, so I am alot more picky about the games I choose to purchase. However there was never any question as to whether I would buy Time Crisis. Since the late 80's - early 90's when the original first person shooter (Castle Wolfenstein) was made available to the old IBM compatible 33Mhz - 8mb RAM - state of the art PC, I have longed for a free-roaming first person shooter with a light gun. The Playstation 2 managed it with Dyno Stalker, but it just didn't quite cut it. The controls were too difficult, and made the game cumbersome.

Well I made the purchase merely hours ago and it's great. Only problem is, it's been years since I played a "gun game" and after only 3 hours of it, my arm is killing me. I have had to take a break, so I took the opportunity to post my opinion here. I generally don't make much claim to the quality of games. I guess it only matters what I think of them, and I can pass my own opinion onto myself in a conversation within the confines of my head. It's not necessary for me to put it in text.

The echo is a bit annoying, but I never end up in an argument over it...well not one I can't win anyways. You know, someone unimportant once told me that talking to yourself was the first sign of madness. I am not entirely sure about that though. I have shown many more signs before now.
