Things look pretty bleak for the next month or so, don’t they? Ah, summertime — when the gaming industry actually offers a pretty compelling excuse to get off your ass and get outside. There’s not much between here and the end of August, when thefloodcomes — that psychotic, wallet-destroying time of year where you practically hemorrhage cash into the open hands of publishers. At least killing season doesn’t start for another month, right? Hold me, I’m scared.
Anyway, you might be wondering what to do between now and — well,Bioshock. Maybe you’ve got a bit of cash scraped up from mowing your creepy neighbor’s lawn and didn’t bat and eye when he offered you double pay to wear shorts and run through the sprinklers once or twice when you were through, y’know, tocool off. If you’re looking for a game to fill the void,Otogicould be it — it can be wrapped in ten hours or thirty, depending on your levels of OCD, and is one of the finest action titles on the original Xbox. Doesn’t hurt that it’s easy on the eyes, either — personalityandlooks. Does it get any better?
