I hardly ever finish games these days, but over the break I finished two: Halo 2 and X-Men Legends.

I guess I can understand why people are upset about the ending of Halo 2. The rest of the game is fun enough to make up for it. New weapons. New vehicles. New point of view. Awesome! Jason and I went on Xbox Live to play against other real people and we got owned. The only game we did really well in was a game against a bunch of little kiddies. We figured that if we memorized the maps we could do a lot better.

X-Men Legends is another fun game. If you like hack-n-slash action RPG’s like Diablo, you’ll enjoy this one. You’ll especially like it if you are an X-Men fan. At times it suffers from the same problem that most other action RPG’s I’ve played has suffered from. Some of the missions get long and repetitive, and that usually means boring. This game actually had a real conclusion, but they also hinted that there would be more to come. Maybe not the most talked about game of the year, but definitatea fan favorite. I believe I finished it in about 33 hours.
