It was a typical Sunday afternoon,there I was happily playing Darkstalkers: Wrath of War on my PS3. While out side the sun was shinning brightly, the birds were singing softly in the trees and everything was fine with the world. Then all of a sudden the unthinkable happened, as I suddenly saw a blank TV screen and heard the words "I am sorry!" Basically what happened was my other half unplugged the extension lead that power all of the electrical stuff needed by me to sit on my arse and play Darkstalkers.
I have now not even attempted to play the game in over a week in fear that my save file has been corrupted. I know that it was an accident but its still a bit shitty that this happened. Sure I can replay the game and catch up to where I was if the worst case scenario has indeed happened. Yet I don't know if I can really be bothered in retracing my steps again. Don't get me wrong I have enjoyed what I have played of Darkstalkers to date, but it hasn't really captured my imagination like I thought it would have done.
It clearly isn't a 10/10 game like sticker on the box says Play Magazine gave it. Maybe THQ bought themselves the 10/10 score, it wouldn't be the first time a company has bought a perfect score for a game. EDGE magazine gave the game a 60/100 which shows that not everyone gives high scores for cash. (Although that score seems a bit harsh) Hopefully soon I will get the courage to see if my save is still intact so I can finish the game, if it isn't however I think this could see me banishing the game to my shelves for quite some time to come.
I now just need to make sure that my missus never goes near a plug socket again while I am playing a game, As grown men shouldn't be forced to sulk and live in fear of having a corrupt save on their consoles.
