The Bourne (insert random word that preferably ends in –Y)



A few nights ago after watching The Mist with fellow Laserblader Brendo (effed up, I recommend) , he directed me to Download the new game footage of the Gears of War II. Gears looks amazing of course but he kind of got on my case because I was also downloading the demo for the Bourne Fraternity game. I waited until he left to play it.

Well, I honestly, I really had fun with it. I am a fan of the movie series. The Bourne Virginity being my favorite of course but the game does a decent job of reenacting some of the cooler scenes in the movies.

The fight scenes are fast and close up and you get that kind of filming angle that gives it a cinematic effect. I also like how it moves really fast from one part to the next. It uses the button response gimmick (which I don’t hate) to allow for certain seemless sections.

It probably won’t be overall that good of game because let’s face it; Movie games suck*! It does seriously suffer from a lack of a counter button which I am amazed has been left out of the fighting. Also, why doesn’t he look like Matt Damon. He’s only the sexiest man alive.

Give it a try. It’s free. And don’t make fun of me.

* Apparently the Chronicles of Riddick video game didn’t suck that much but the movie did so I count that.

He doesn't look like Matt Damon because Damon didn't want anything to do with the game. He had originally suggested a Myst-like puzzle game, but when that got shot down, he pretty much passed on being involved at all.
