#185 – Bully (PS2)
Activists actually protested against this Rockstar (GTA series developers) game in various regions stating that it would influence young students to take up violence in school. Well, violence-wise I don’t think it’s any worse than the GTA series. In fact it’s not even remotely close to GTA’s violence, profanity and such. Bully was a breath of fresh air from the GTA series. This time around you’re a school boy who has a striking resemblance to Wayne Rooney. A notorious and frustrated teenager who’s about to unleash his wrath on a school he’s transferred to. Bully just proves to be fun and has a lot of gameplay elements which keeps you entertained. I’ve clocked many hours on this game but I usually only play it while taking break from long RPGs. This game is the pinnacle of relaxing yourself, not taking things too seriously and letting everything out.
#184 – Guitar Hero (PS2)
I think my username heavily implies that I’m a huge rock n’ roll fan and that I am, that I am. Naturally a game like GH appealed to me and I bought it the very second I saw it in a nearby store. The problem at that time was that I wasn’t very familiar with the rhythm genre games except for Dance Dance Revolution. As I started playing the game, the very first song was Joan Jett’s “I love Rock n’ Roll” and I was playing on medium. Every time I hit a note the satisfaction was electrifying. Somehow I proved to be a quick learner and went on to love the genre. At present I’m pretty good in the Guitar Hero series as I can finish almost all songs on Expert (w/ my GH Guitar). The first of the GH series holds so many memories but it was lacking Guns n’ Roses songs which I really really desired.
#183 – Star Wars: Battlefront II (PS2)
The best Star Wars game on the PS2 without a shadow of a doubt. The first Battlefront game broke grounds by being the first good Star Wars game apart from the KOTOR series. Battlefront II felt more like an expanded, polished and overall better version of the original. The Galactic Conquest was deeper and BFII consisted of newer levels since Episode III. However I can’t say that much has changed except that BFII is more objective based, has space battle and is overall more entertaining. I haven’t played multiplayer at all so I might have missed out on some elements the game had to offer. No matter, BFII is great game for both Star Wars fans and 3rd Person Shooter fans. I was both.
