OK, so a couple of packages arrived for me at the office yesterday: Angel Season 5 DVD and Lucasart's Mercenaries for the X-Box.
Despite wanting to plough through as much Angel as possible I gave Mercenaries half an hour. It's pretty good. Possibly great. Definitely great if I didn't know about GTA III as, essentially, it's that game with a better combat mechanism laid over it. In the first couple of mission you have to subdue someone and load them in a chopper, blow up buildings, protect a base with recoilless rifles and steal a truck. Fun stuff. I've heard it gets a little repetitive later on, but this is a great start. Plus Peter Stromare puts in a decent performant as the voice of one of the Mercs. I guess this makes it the third non-Star Wars license from Lucasarts recently (Secret Weapons Over Normandy and Armed And Dangerous being the others) that's been, at the very least, good. Pity they cancelled Sam 'N' Max...
Angel Season Five. Wow! They cancelled this, you know. Six episodes in and it's been funny (the spanking line in the first episode had me in stitches), scary (the Spike-centric episode has got to be the Buffyverse's creepiest ever) and morally amibiguous (the ending to the werewolf episode, in particular, was cruel). Damn!
By the way, I am so going to get this when it comes out...
