Long time post

So it has been a really long time since I have expressed my thoughts here, and decided today seems like a good day to toss something out there.

Since September I have noticed that there have been a large amount of games coming out that I "Need" to own. I started with Rage, and then it seems that once I picked that up it kind of opened the flood gates for a whole many more to add to my collection. Dead Island, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, Skyrim, Saints Row 3rd, Corpse Party, Cthulhu Saves the World, Bastion, and I'm sure I just missed a few I also picked up. There has been one problem so far. No time to dedicate to one game, or the feeling of needing to start that new game on the shelf instead of it gathering dust.

Skyrim, and Saints Row 3rd have had equal play over the past 4 weeks, pretty much 10 days dedicated to each one at a time, and then swapped out with the other. Sure I'm over 50% done storywise in Saints Row, but Skyrim will not be there until next year. I don't have the time to dedicate to this game like others seem too, but enjoy the hell out of it when I get to play. Saints has provided that unadulterated sense in me to just cause Chaos at every turn, and have the power to pull off said chaos. Skyrim reings me back in to make me think about my next goal.

There are so many sidequests, and main quests, and just things to do/see in Skyrim I know I will probably end up restarting a new character, and have the dedication for it a second time through. Since the release of this game there has been a write up from somewhere every day about this game. People hate, people love, people just play, and discover something new. I hop into the world, and try my best to make it to my goal without getting sidetracked. Has not happened yet, but a person can dream.

I don't think many people know about Corpse Party seeing as it is a PSP download only game from Atlus, but I have to say it is a nice change from a lot of the games out there. Story heavy, and no combat is a really nice change for the palette. As a horror game goes it is really cool, and a little eerie.

So just to leave this here for futures sake, Kingdoms of Amalure will be the next big purchase, and until then I think I have more than enough to tide me over. I am looking forward to Kingdoms of Amalure, and can't wait to see it in my xbox, and what fun I can can with it.
