It has been a fair while since I bothered adding to this thing. I've not been particularly busy, just not of a mind to write anything.
I jumped on the WoW bandwagon, I don't think it'll last, still no story, even the launch of Cataclysm has a greater reverberation in the internets than anything I truly perceive as worth a squeak or squeal at all. But maybe I haven't been one to see the changes within WoW, the shaping it has endured directly from external sources. It has taken elements from other MMOs to increase it's success but this isn't something to maligned or derided, it simply is. It's almost like watching the evolution of a creature that mimics it's predators to then predate upon them in a more efficient method of it's own hunting style. Or something...
But in doing so I feel that it has become pretty good at most things but not great a any. Well maybe apart from Dungeons, which are a blast. But I hate it's PvP. This is enough to know in and of itself, it's not something that they could tweak to get me on board, it is simply flawed in it's concept not to mention it's execution.
Along with WoW, I've been playing a bit (read 100+ hours) of Bad Company 2. After going through the start of the year with this gem (which anointed my new computer as a gaming beast) I tried my hand at other vices. Starcraft, Medal of Honor and so on. But I've come back because I realise that it is truly worth time invested, as long as you aren't on a crappy Public server with no clue on what the Q button does. (Here's a tip; IT SPOTS ENEMIES!)
The Christmas sales are on and inevitably my Pile of Shame will increase. I've already added Metro2033 to it thanks to Steam and also GTA4 + Liberty City Stories for very cheap thanks to an EB Pre Christmas sale.
But there is nothing upcoming in the next month that I'm really hanging for so hopefully these coming weeks will be a chance to go over the stuff that eluded my sight during the year.
Talking about the year I'm going to talk about the games that I felt were best this year. I'm not going to numerate them, trying to cheapen one, or laud one especially. Each of these games were great, great enough to play repeatedly and get them right now, for bullion if needed. And that is all you need to know.
Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
Limbo
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
These are the games that I felt I had the most fun with, found the most interesting and did the most for gaming in general (what a crap nebulous statement).
Anyhoo, back to Laguna Presa!
