My first review!!
;Geist
Published by: Nintendo
Developed by: n-Space
Genre: First-Person Shooter, Puzzle
Number of Players: 4
Release Date:
US: August 15, 2005
ESRB: Mature 17+
ESRB Content Descriptors: Blood and Gore, Partial Nudity, Violence
Pros: Geist really has only one thing going for it: original concept.
To be able to run (or should I say float?) around possessing inanimate
objects to scare and in turn possess humans is ingenious. The real-time
cut scenes also add to the story what would otherwise be lost
through gameplay, and each scene gives helpful clues and nudges
towards your next mission.
Cons: This game's graphics are sub par to shooters of this generation,
has no musical score of any note, and has little character
development. The GameCube controller is not made for dual analog control,
and the button layout is awkward and counter intuitive. In
action-packed battle sequences, the controls are so
blunderingly slow and the frame rate chokes so badly that you'll die
before you realise what's really going on. Bosses are near impossible
to figure out because they lack any tell-tale hints or obvious
weaknesses. If you die you will only start back from your last save,
which is usually at the first of the chapter, eons before the boss.
Bottom Line: Geist is a glorified, yet sadly under-developed first
person shooter posing as a pysch-puzzle thriller. If you're wanting
quality for the money you'll have to pay for this newer release, save
it for something else.
Perfect for: The apathetic, easily impressed, or casual gamer.
Rating: 2.5/5
Oh, and I found out I don't get to keep any of the GameCube games I review :( So sad. :( :(

I've had no real update here of late, but I wanted to say: ; I HAVE THE BEST SECTION IN THE WORLD The clarinets rounded up $40 dollars after hearing about Jeremy's death and bought me a gift card to Rhino Game (a game store)! What better to help heal hurt than with video games??? Hell yeah!... I was very glad to see everyone. :) I got a total of like... 5 or 6 well-wishes cards... HUGS for EVERYONE...
Needless to say, I've been much better... but I still don't want to go to school....
for now, that is it.
