What I learned this week was how to give games a second life. I discovered this with Uncharted 2. I loved that game and played it so many times that I had the cut scenes memorizes and would quote them with the game. After a while though, i lost interest in playing it because it was the same old same old. However, after playing Enslaved: odyssey to the west's amazing demo, i felt the urge to play uncharted 2. I didnt want to keep playing the same levels though so I decided to try "mirror world" settings. Even though it's just flipping the world, it actually makes it seem like a first play through. And it's sort of challenging since Im so used to always going to the right instead of the left. So now I wont over look something as simple as "mirror world" since it seemed to revive the game for me.
