The Pre-review

Meat mEat meAt meaT

I haven't played Super Meat Boy enough yet to offer a proper review. Instead of that, a pre-review, edited for dirty words, conducted over Google Chat:


  me: it's ... hard

but it's amazing

it's like...

if you were able to make joy a physical object then turn it into a concentrated fluid like red bull or something

then injected it into your eyelids

Vindictus

More and more, it seems it's becoming both increasingly common and easier than ever for the MMO-playing populace to split its affections over multiple titles. No, the economy hasn't recovered yet, contrary to reports that the recession currently harshing the world's collective buzz is over. With so many titles converting to or launching with a free-to-play model of some kind, the entry point for the MMO genre is arguably more accessible than any other in gaming.


I've mentioned previously that LOTRO is my current pay-to-play MMO of choice. As a lot of my readers would probably already know, Lord of the Rings Online was another title to embark down the "free-to-play" route this year. Trust me, I didn't goof. I maintain my subscription because it's damn convenient and I really like what Turbine has going on over there. At any rate, I decided today I would write a bit about what I'm playing on the F2P side of things and when I started hashing it out in my head, I had a half-blown review on my hands.

Many, many creatures get harmed during the course of this game.

More, post-jump.
