STEAM
ive said it before and ill say it again, steam is the place to go for a wide selection of entertaining games!
and due to recent events, i will be able to play most of that that wide selection! hooray!
the first game on my list believe it or not, was a delightful game called "the crazy adventures of gumboy" a wonderful sidescroller, thats got a lot going for it!
firstly, this is one of the most visually pleasing games i have ever seen. i have to put it right up there with guildwars for graphics. yes it is a 2D game, but it has such a magical feel about it, i think the developers must have done every single image in photoshop or something because this game, is friggin sexy-looking, and i dont say the term likely...
second of all, the gameplay is just.....fun. nothing more then that, its just plain entertaining, and thats why we play games isnt it? forget the story, games are usually better without it, and i know i gave gears of war shit for not having story, but thats because it should have a story.
why? becuase throughout the game, it feels like it leading somewhere... what are these creatures? why are we at war with them? what do they want?
gumboy, doesnt even try to have a story and thats what i like about it. it tries to be fun, and a lot of games these days are trying to be a lot more then that.
ive always said, i would rather play a good game that tried to be simple, then a bad game that was trying to be complex.
the only thing i dont like about this game, is the control. not like..the buttons, or anything, but how you actually control your dude. it gets kind of agrivating sometimes, when he bounces around where you don't want him, but this is not too common, and i forgive it, just because it looks so nice :)
so i give this game a 8/1o its a good game and for TEN DOLLARS!?!? holy shit... buy this game, buy it now...
this is my video, the music is ...not mine, i got it from newgrounds a long time ago...
if you cant see, that means you are reading this not so long after i write it! thank you reader!!

Ah, my laptop is not the strongest. I was looking at this game, and you were the only review I could find. Thanks! I understand how you feel about Guild Wars, my friends and I just got into it and those graphics just wow me sometimes. I don't know why they went so deeply into the detail of the backgrounds but they did. I'll check this game out, because right now on Steam you can get it in a bundle for three dollars. I'll regret it if I don't, as I'm a casual gamer.
what's the song called?
