I'm short on time this morning, so I need to make this brief.
The "Desktop Tower Defense" challenge didn't go so well yesterday. Multiplayer gaming on Casualcollective.com is still a bit buggy. But I'll be back on there hopefully tomorrow to see if it's improving. I can confirm that the people I did face-off with on the game over there did not beat me.
Last night I started "Spider-Man: Web of Shadows," which a friend told me is the best super-hero game ever made. If that's the case, then the best super-hero game ever made has poor voice-acting, clunky graphics, and a clumsily paced introduction. But... after about 30 minutes, the game begins teaching the player such a spectacular move set -- and begins layering on so many fun combat and collectible-driven challenges -- that none of the faults really matter.
Web-swinging into a crowd of enemies with foot extended for a thug-punting kick is a blast. I don't expect to tire soon of walking up walls or using a web to hop from enemy to enemy without ever touching the ground or performing so many more of the game's crazy moves.
This game is rough. But it's also extremely fun.
