I'm just playing Ass Creed 3 until its done. Not quite sure where I'd rank it compared to the other games...there's nothing that really makes it stand out from them in any major way. But its still a solid game.

assassins_creed_3_screen21.jpg





Same here.  It's certainly a solid game, but its the story that'll either elevate above the others or hold it down.  It sucks that I'm only available to play this in small chunks at a time.

Same here, enjoying it despite flaws.

I think I will too.  Have completed every (console) game in the franchise this generation and I look forward to playing this too as soon as it goes down in price a little bit.  It has become one of my favourite series despite its many flaws simply because it offers so much

That Nvidia thing looks like something Microsoft would have tried around 2001.

I just finished Assassin's Creed 3....hmm well all I'll say is they really set it up for some crazy shit goin' down in the next game. This game has so many ideas that don't feel fully fleshed out, that combined with where they're going storywise I could see the next game being another Ass Creed 2 level jump, provided they take the time to do it.

WARNING: AC3 has by far the longest goddamn fucking credits at the end of the game I have ever seen...oh my fuckin' word I could have went & made love to my girl, made a few sandwiches, and still been back before they were done. Seriously. But let them run...shit happens at the end. 8.3 rating from me.

Speaking of handhelds people aren't interested, Gamestop has a deal going on for it's Reward Members. If you trade in 10,000 points you can purchase a used Vita for $150.  Not a bad deal at that price.

Wow. Sony's CES Press Conference does not bode well for them. Instead of Playstation products or new games, they tried to sell a "One Sony" ideal and AGAIN went over their PAST history. It's true their 4K Televisions look great, but so did their 3D Televisions at first, too. Looked what happened there.

So I have a cold. I went to my mothers house.

She comes home and sees me sitting there with a pile of snotty tissues, sniffling. What does do she do? Immediately berates me and asks to go into the garden in freezing cold weather to use a sledgehammer to bash up a lamp she wants to get rid off, then she wants me to drive the remains to the city dump. Standing there with hands on hips saying I never do anything for her.

Got to love parents. lol

Modded Skyrim is all kinds of amazing. I HAVE HORSE ARMOUR for Talos' sakes. And it was FREE!

Playing on Master difficulty for the first time and having a blast, even during those times when a bear trap kills me. LOL

Kamiya vs Kotaku. Kotaku wrote a totally idiotic article by warping an interview so Kamiya went at them. So amazing.






Kamiya is like Iga if Iga was a brilliant game developer.
