Screenshot Saturday (#21) - Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

I've been playing more Enslaved lately since I have character skins that boost their abilities. This selection of screenshots shows off the Classic Monkey skin, which gives Monkey more strength in his attacks. It's a neat looking skin, I admit.

Oh, one shot is a mech, not Monkey. The mech's pretty cool too.

(Yeah, she's not even in the shot. lol)

***Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice***

So, yeah. Remember Heavenly Sword, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, and DmC Devil May Cry? All made by Ninja Theory, the greatest game developer of all time? (No, they didn't pay me to say that. I'm just in love with them. All of them. The whole damn company.)

They're making another game, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. I've watched a few of their development diaries and WOW. I can't even believe this is a game. Check out this Senua trailer: 

Freaky, right? She looks so lifelike, so real. I'm really excited about this game. It's still a little ways from release; it's not even up on Amazon yet...but it is on Steam. It appears it will be released for PS4 and PC, so YAY ME!!! I'm gonna get it for both! Eventually. :D

I strongly recommend you check out the development diaries. It's really cool to see this game take shape. You can find the whole list on YouTube:

—Game Review— Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Hubby and I downloaded the demo for this game and it sat on the 360 for a while before either one of us decided to try it out. He tried it and found it a bit frustrating, platformer that it is and hardcore gamer that he's not. I took over and got through the demo. We were both impressed with the graphics. I mean, damn. Seriously, DAMN. He sent me off to look for the game on Amazon. 

I bought it. I played it. More than once. I loved it. I even bought the PC edition, just so I could have the little extras I couldn't get with the console edition. Um, yeah. Love. SO. MUCH. LOVE.

Let's break this all down.

Movie Monday (#9) - Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

As my favorite game, it makes sense that I share some gaming vidz of Enslaved, right? Right. So here you go. This game is rated T, but this short video doesn't have any language or blood in it.

This one was pretty cool. I actually thought I didn't make it. I was wrong. :D

New Loot! (#23)

Lord, save me from Steam sales...

Since I grabbed a whole pile and a few are games I already had for console gaming, I'll just list them. Seriously, I got most of these last year, in December, I think. I'm so behind on new loot posts. :)

The titles link to Steam. You can click over to check out descriptions and reviews, though I've included the ratings here at least.

The Heartless Gamer Girl has arrived!

I game. It's what I do when I'm depressed, though I sometimes use it for brainstorming. (I'm a writer.) Basically, it's a great escape, and a great way to burn off anger that has no other outlet. (I'm emotional.) 

So here's this blog, one of about a dozen blogs I own, and this one will be dedicated to this side of myself that I barely understand. It's a side I might be a little ashamed of, but one I kinda love. 

I love video games. Enough that I don't care about the lingo, the "in" thing, or the crowds and pastimes that typically appeal to gamers. Yes, I call myself a gamer. No, I don't really identify with gamers. 

Xbox 360 is my current dealer, action RPGs and JRPGs my drug of choice. I've been known to venture into other genres, but these are the two I really enjoy. 

Favorite game (ATM): Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Seriously love this game and I will write an official review for it, which I will then post on this blog. There are other games that will be reviewed as well, including most of the Assassin's Creed games, the Devil May Cry series, the Borderlands games, Final Fantasy games, and some lesser known games as well.

☺

That said, a brief explanation of my blog title might be in order, huh? I'm a writer (I mentioned that) and my bestselling novel is a Regency romance called Heartless. It's kind of become a thing with me. That's it. Nothing more. I don't plan to tear apart games, developers, publishers, or designers here. There may be the occasional rant directed at a game, but I realize more than most that there are real people behind all creative projects. I don't want to intentionally hurt anyone's feelings.

Until next time. Mwah!
