The Suffering

The Suffering: Ties That Bind
$14.99
I really enjoyed the first Suffering game and was happy anough to pick up the sequel.

Like films, the sequel isn't as good as the original but Ties That Bind is just as great as the first!

I've always been a big fan of 3rd person shooters (Max Payne and Tomb Raider games) and these two fall into my favorite.

It's as graphic, intense and violent as any survival horror game should be; plus you can play it in first person mode as well.

It's very well designed in terms of the vulgar creatures, Baltimore looks like the pit of hell and the character movements looks terrific.

The voice acting is great (Rachael Griffiths, MC Duncan) and the story is "fleshed" out. Although the "twist" at the end wasn't much of a surprise though.

Great arsenal of weaponry. The only problem I had with the thrown weapons was (like most games) that Torque would always throw with his right: Right into a wall instead of around it.

The controls are standard and don't cause any issues except for an annoying camera angle here and there.

Music is creepy and cool as well as the freaky sound effects.

The occasional drawback to this game was that sometimes some characters would take more damage than their clones as well as the AI not being so smart at times.

Aspects of the story were a tad confusing. Perhaps I don't recall the first game's story well enough so I'm missing some key plot points because of that.

Overall it's a well thought out game and I recommend it to all you "playas" (game reference) that enjoy blowing Stan Winston created characters into juicy pulp!

This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War (Vintage Civil War Library)
$15.95
After reading "This Republic of Suffering" I was still struggling with what the central thesis to the book was. Every chapter contains excellent primary source information about the death and the industry that arose because of the enormous casualties of the war, but how does it tie in together? Of course, Faust may not be trying to tie everything together, but is just merely demonstrating the sheer scale of death and how the nation responded psychologically, mentally, economically and spiritually to it all. Overall, I would recommend it, but its disjointed theme takes away from the coherence of what the author is trying to put forth.
