Well, I haven’t posted in a while. Sorry about that. I had a bit of a vacation off to London which was fantastic. Lots of walking, fish n’ chippies, beer, art. Not necessarily in that order.

Anyway, that’s not what this post is about! I’ve recently purchased Sacred 2 for my 360 (have it on PC as well) and thanks to GamersGate’s cheapo weekend (Hooray! – for cheap bastards like me) I got King’s Bounty for $9.99! I’ve been playing both off and on and enjoying them a lot.

I’m finding that KB is quite addictive and very, very polished. I have only found issue so far with a couple things – since the map has so much on it, I find my hero jitters a bit as I move him around… bumping into various things. But that’s not really a big deal. I wish you could auto-resolve battles, especially when you run into the 4th –insert low-level monster here– in a row. That can get kind of dull, but once again, not a game-breaker in the least.

Sacred 2 on the other hand, not so polished. You’d think it would be, considering the number and size of the updates applied to the PC version, but it’s sadly not the case. Still, there’s no comparable action-RPGs on the console (Marvel Ultimate Alliance imo is very diffeerent) so I guess it kinda wins by default. I find the text a bit hard to read on my large-screen 480p TV, but it’s still pretty darn fun.

Check back soon for some reviews on a Photo Organizer app and an MP3 jukebox app… both to appear as ‘Overlooked’ reviews.
