The reason the game didn’t appeal to me at first is that it’s a top-down shooter, and that viewpoint tends to drive me bonkers. That’s no joke… the game did indeed grab me, and turned out to be a blast to play. Boy, did I underestimate this one.Īfter I loaded Alien Swarm up for the first time, I logged out of it five hours later. It’s not that I just up and decide whether I’m going to like a game or not, but after checking out all of the screenshots on the site, and videos on YouTube, the last thing the game did was grab me. This past weekend though, I must have been in a great mood, because I decided to give a game a go that I had full intention of disliking. Just how stubborn? Well, I still haven’t played more than five minutes of Portal. It doesn’t matter how well-received it is by others… I am for some reason, insanely stubborn. There are few things I enjoy doing more than gaming, but despite that, I sometimes have a difficult time buckling down to give a new game a try.
