A handful of games were waiting for me upon my return from E3. One of them has even prompted me to dust off my PSP.
Capcom’s hosting a little media event today for the absurdly named Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. We were each given the game early in order to level up our characters before tackling the multiplayer stuff at the event.
I booted it up last night and spent two hours slogging through the tutorial. On the one hand I’m encouraged to discover far greater depth than I’d expected, but on the other I’m not sure I want to lose so many hours to a game that’s ultimately all about the grind.
Still, there’s a part of me that digs the whole survivalist aspect – the way you have to carve raw meat from a recently felled carcass then roast it over a spit to create edible food for healing – so I’m quite keen to play some more.
Also in my post-E3 pile of games were Ghostbusters (PS3), Tales of Vesperia (360), Fuel (360) and Overlord II (360). Which one would you like me to check out first?
