My Favorite Console Games: Lord of the Rings Third Age


28 Nov

Because when I’m sick, I like to sit in the comfy chair in the living room and play old console games. I spent a good portion of this weekend playing Third Age.

It is a turn based not quite strategy, not quite RPG. You go from point A to point B. You have some choice when it comes to character skill development.

This is the first time I’ve played it on the 360, so I’m starting all over from the beginning. It feels a little like cheating though, because I know what skills I need and when I need them.

My Favorite Console Games: Gladius


19 Jan

Being sick sucks. Here’s what I did last night. I played Gladius.

Never heard of it, you say? Not surprising. While it was put out by Lucas Arts, the game sold so badly that it hasn’t been converted from the Xbox to the 360. Still, it’s one of my favorite games. We have it for 2 consoles.

Basically, it’s a turn based strategy game where you are gladiators fighting in arenas all over the world. There’s a meta plot as well, not that I’ve ever finished the game. I just like running around and trying out new types of gladiators.
