Christmas video games

For Christmas this year, I got two video games. Unfortunately they are both extremely short, and I finished them both in 2 days.

First is The Matrix: Path of Neo for the X-Box. I scoffed at this title when I first read about it, remember ing the sour experience that I had with its predecesor, Enter the Matrix. But after reading a couple of reviews I decided that this had something more to offer and had to try it out.

I was supprised to find that the gameplay was very addicting and fluid, especially the hand-to-hand combat system which was really satisfying and crunchy.

The second game that I played was Ultimate Spiderman for the Nintendo Gamecube. This title was really dissapointing.

While the story missions were really great, they only took a few hours to finish! That would have been fine with me, but the developers stripped out all of the fun webslinging mechanics that were so addicting in Spiderman 2.
I knew that these games would be short, but I had expected them to have more replay value than they do. Fortunately I have friends that would like to borrow them, so they aren’t going to go unused. Moral of the storry? Rent people, rent!
