Just a couple games today. I tried to stick with them as long as I could.

Forgot ot mention the other day I finished Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition for the fourth or fifth time. I played on very easy so I could just throw enemies around and listen to the crazy dialog, but what I should have done was play on unlimited ammo mode and crank the difficulty. I'm tempted to reinstall it just to do that. Higher difficutly could mean more enemies and unlimited ammo means I can create even crazier mayhem. I might just do it. 

Today i played Middle Earth Shadow of War for a Game Pass quest. I played on easy difficulty and got a bit farther than last time. It dawned on me this is basically an Assassin's Creed game in the Lord of the Rings universe. I really like the way orc leaders will taunt you before you fight them and remember you if you fail against them. The game relies a bit too much on stealth though. If you get into a melee battle for too long, you'll be surrounded. You have to kill stealthy, or quick and get out of there. This is not a favorite strategy of mine. Well, in any case, it's a very good game, just not for me. 

Then I played a casual game I got on sale not too long ago, Dynamite Fishing. It recalls to me those Pop Cap Feeding Frenzy games. It has cartoony and colorful graphics and plays in 2D, scrolling left ot right. The name says it all, you throw dynamite off a boat to stun fish and then pick them up for points. There are boat and character upgrades and special attacks that are pretty crazy. There are even boss battles like the Yeti Fish and one that looks like the Alien from the Alien movies. Mark and I were both playing it on our seperate systems. I must have played 40 levels or so. I'm guessing there is 75 levels but I'm not sure. There are five different locations and at least 15 different levels for each. It's a pretty good game, if you don't mind blowing fish of every type out of the water with explosives.

Who in the world came up with the idea to catch fish with dynamite?? Laughing

I think someone has actually done it. It stuns all the fish and they float to the top, then you just pick them up. There are a lot of redneck jokes in this game as well.

Bulletstorm is such dumb fun.

It is. I should've have given the Echo challenge levels a go again, but I wasn't in the mood.

I got Dynamite Fishing for a penny on my Switch a while back.  It's OK, worth about a penny.  Probably would've been better as an arcade game that you play once and that's it.

After 40 levels of it I was getting a bit bored. I want to try and finish it though so I'll play a level or two here and there.
