two short reviews/musings

American Psycho (book)

There is only one thing I can say for certain about this book: it definitely deserves the R18 sticker on the front. Graphic, disturbing, violent, but still....it's just good. Though I don't really like the last chapter, it's a darkly comic literary masterpiece that well, if you're serious about books, you will read at least once. And probably feel sick. But yeah. You'll read it.

The Club (pc)


well, apparently it is supposed to be like burnout with guns. Which i can sort of see why, with the visual styling and the combo system, etc - but the control scheme is really unresponsive and strange - there is no consistency to the mouse sensitivity and the guns don't fire when you click but rather after about a .5 second pause, enough to annoy. There is also no storyline to speak of. Is it worth playing? Yes, but not for very long, and not if you had to pay for it.
