Condemned: Criminal Origins - Day 2

It's kinda depressing when you know you can beat a game in only a couple days. I didn't think Call of Duty 4 would be as quick as it was, but I guess I should have since it IS geared toward multiplayer more than single player.

So, my initial theories were wrong about the story of the game... especially when I came across the body of the "Match Maker." Apparently, I am supposed to chase down a serial killer of serial killers. Yes, some vigilante who is making the police look bad by taking out serial killers. Except, this "vigilante" is bat-shit crazy, and only going after the guys your character has investigated before.

I've started getting down blocking better. It took a while for when I was using a fire axe (all the while, pretending I was Fire Marshal Bill... lol) since lifting the axe to block apparently takes all of your strengh to do so, making you go really slow.

I have upgraded my tazer though. Now enemies fall beneath my electrified wrath. And if they still survive, I finish them off with a boot to the head (or a weapon to some part of their body.)

Even though my guide I got with the game (package deal, couldn't resist) is great, it fails to point out birds to me fast enough. 2 times, I have ended a level with 5 of 6 birds. And beyond that, I think I missed a couple points of hidden evidence that I could have grabbed. Nice way to drop the ball Prima. I think I will make sure my guides come from Brady Games from now on. I have had good experience with them (Final Fantasy and Lost Odyssey, both helped a lot.)

For now, I rest; knowing that tomorrow (assuming I am up to it), I can probably finish the game off.
