One bling to rule them all
First up, I've finished the BBC Jamie Kane game. And I have to say... it was odd. Really odd. So odd, in fact, that it is a real oddity. OK, so, as a little spoiler (not much though), you find out that the so-called 'pop-star' (fictional) has deceased in a fatal accident. YET HE HASN'T! He's alive and on the run!! Will you save him?? Of course you will, because no matter what you do, you always win on games like these. I also found out that if you annoy the robots enough (they're like oliverbot chat-bots, but a little more lifelike), they do the work for you, and you take the credit. I have to say, the JK game is seriously lifelike in some ways, and yet robot-ish in others. Would I recommend it? It's worth a try. You get about 3 emails a day, around the same time each day, and various tasks to do (some hard, some easy). So if you have time on your hands, go ahead.
I'm not telling you who the mole is, though :P
Secondly... I've finished the LOTR game!! I'm so upset -.- It's just not fair. I was having so much fun beating the crap out of various... beings. I love Hobbiton so much, I could just spend about 3 hours running around and annoying fellow hobbits. And, best of all, it has nothing to do with the movie. The characters look different - Gandalf looks like an old man wrapped up in a rug, Aragorn looks like Snape (Larry Schmotter), and Frodo looks MUCH better than Elija what's-his-face. And his eyes scare me. Merry is the only one who looks like a person. Of course, not being like the movie also means that there's much more going on, which is relevant to the book. Tom Bombadil, the wolves, and the barrow-wights are there, for a start. And they get attacked by a tree. No, this is the Fellowship of the Ring. That means there must be more out there... *seeks for more LOTR-iness*
I shall miss playing this game. I'm gonna miss the rat-wolf hybrids... throwing rocks at llamas... killing ring-wraiths... killing orcs... killing hob-goblins... killing barrow-wights............killing ring-wraiths............... avoiding ring-wraiths...............killing ring-wraiths............
On second thoughts, I don't think I'll miss it all that much.
