Two Very Different Games

I’ve been playing a decent amount of Borderlands 2, which has in most ways been incredibly enjoyable.  But this enjoyment really only comes in the multiplayer, and with my friends indisposed I’ve taken a break to play LA Noire.  As a gap it’s an interesting experience.  I can’t say I love the way it “feels”, but it’s a good game to play after you’ve been rampaging around a foreign world for a bit too long.  It’s calm and calculating, the sort of thing you want to play after you’ve had a crushing day, allowing you to avoid further stimulation.  It’s not a weekend game; it’s a night game, best played in bits.

You have to stare gore straight in the eye.
