Over the past two days I've finished a couple of games so I thought I'd share my thoughts about them. While both are mediocre, I enjoyed them for what they were. However, some questions need to be raised.
Splinter Cell Conviction
I bought this right before Thanksgiving last year and I plowed through it in roughly two days spanning six hours. I think some of the ideas in the game are pretty good, along with how cover is implemented and moving from cover to cover. But the problem lies in the level design, which almost always small and linear. This rarely allows you the freedom to get somebody's attention, draw them over to you and sneak up from behind them or around them. In addition, the person voicing Sam Fisher sounds really drunk. I don't regret paying what I did for it, but it's just not that good.
Golden Sun Dark Dawn
Truth be told, I loved the first two Golden Sun games. However, over the course of this game I've come to learn that I've grown out of them. In the previous games I found myself enjoying the story as well as the combat, but in this game I couldn't enjoy either because the story was so intrusive and childishly written and the game was so ridiculously easy until the very end where it had a nice challenge that it was just baffling. Over the course of the first 12 hours of the game I came across 4 boss fights. In the next hour alone I faced 5 boss fights. That's pretty ridiculous pacing I have to say. Overall, it was a very disappointing game that doesn't make me want another one.
