Love is Over

Hello all!

I haven't updated in a long time and for that I am incredibly sorry. I mean both uses of the word sorry. I am both apologetic and triflin'. Now that that is cleared up, I'll get right into the point of my return. Catherine by Atlus is not just a game it's a damn TV show that you are controlling and it's by far 1000 times more entertaining than Jersey Shore. 

While the majority of the game takes place in 'Nightmare' stages where Vincent, our fool of a main character, has to shift blocks to make a pathway towards salvation, most of your crucial decisions take place in a bar known as The Stray Sheep. Because of the complex nature of the game the only thing I can give you is a quick description and my honest opinion.

Catherine is about Vincent Brooks, a 32 year old man who is perfectly content with his life the way it is. He's dating Katherine McBride, who is not perfectly content and wants to change their relationship by talking about marriage. This stresses Vince out. Enter Catherine, a gorgeous girl, who is very very interested in Vincent and ends up wooing a drunk Vincent one night in the Stray Sheep.

Vincent is caught between the two women and must choose. That's where you come in. Vincent's choices and actions control the game. You have to do what you have to do to make things right...or your version of right however skewed that may be. :3 

I honestly love this game. The puzzles can be difficult enough to make you throw your controller but the story is so worth it. It's one of those games where you just have to know what happens! It features competitive and cooperative 2 player mode so don't worry about getting bored with it after you drop 60 bones on it. 

Not to mention the fact that the soundtrack is as sick as it gets! The intro alone made me love this game...seriously YouTube it now, and thank me later. Trust me this game is definitely a front-runner for Game of the Year. Overall I give it a 9.5 out of 10. Once again sorry for the lack of pictures. I'll be back in the swing of things soon...I think. Until next time, happy pwning! 

PS: About the odd title: instead of the usual game over screen, when you die during a nightmare stage the screen says "Love is Over!" it's kinda cool, and I really liked it. :3
