Just yesterday I went down to Best Buy to buy Halo: CEA, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, and replace my broekn copy of Skyrim. I bought Halo and AC, but once again, Skyrim has managed to elude my grasp by not being in stock at neither Best Buy nor Walmart. Good thing is, they gave me a "Rain CHeck" so they'll call my house when it's in stock, then I just have to give them my receipt and I'll get it for free. Sweet.

Anyway, I haven't tried Assassin's Creed yet, but I've been playing Halo, and I've fallen in love with it again. I'm playing through the campign right off the bat on Legendary, because I want to get some of the new achivements. It's awesome to cycle between the 2001 and 2011 graphics to see what's changed, and the new skulls are a nice touch. Other than that, it's the same classic Halo we've known and loved for the past 10 years. Even the multiplayer feels classic too, even though it's mostly Halo: Reach. Still they've added a "Classic" playlist to cater to the fans that loved the original Halo: Multiplayer. There's no Armor Abilities, a lower jump height, and only classic Halo weapons (Pistol, Assault Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Shotguns, etc...) to make you feel at home. All of these are played on the remastered maps, so it feels familiar yet fresh.

Hopefully they'll have copies of Skyrim in by next weekend. They did have the Collector's Edition there, but I wasn't sure if buying it was a good idea. Does anyone have any thoughts on it? I'm wondering if it's worth it at all.

On Tuesday, November 15, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary hits the shelves. My initial reaction to this game was "Meh, a remake". But after seeing the Campaign footage and the multiplayer gameplay, I cannot WAIT. Even though it's almost the same as Reach mutliplayer, we'll be playing on Battle Canyon, a remake of one of the best maps in the Halo series; Beaver Creek. Plus, there'll be a playlist called "Anniversary Classic", where there will be 4V4 slayer and objective games, played only on the remade CE maps, without Armor Abilities, which will be absolutely fantastic. I really think that it will be just like playing the original CE 10 years ago.

I'm heading down on Tuesday as soon as I can to grab this game. Might even get AC: Revelations, too.

It's finally happened! After 685 attempts and 1048 jumps, I've beaten the first level of the impossible game (iPod toch version) with no practice flags! TWICE!! Now I'm getting to work on the Xbox level!

Just thought I'd share that. I've been playing that game ever since second semester started.

My name is FaithfulBro! I'm new to this site, but so far I'm having a blast with it. It's great to talk about and discuss my favorite games and video game systems, I can't really do that anywhere else. I love games new and old. My favorite new game is Halo: Reach, and my favorite old game is probably F-Zero on the SNES. I've had a great time with that one, the graphics are really impressive for the time. I'm a proud Canadian. I don't ride a polar bear to school, and I don't pronounce "about" like "aboot", but I'll admit that I do say "Eh" a lot. I guess some stereotypes are true. I seem to be one of the only retro game fans at my high school, along with 2 other friends of mine. However, I have a friend who is in the "Popular" group of people at the school, and he started liking old video games, so everyone else started liking them. However, he quickly decided that they were too hard and not fun at all (Mega Man sent him into a rage) and told everyone that he thinks old video games suck. That's when everyone else started not liking them. My favorite movie is Scott Pilgrim Versus The World, but I haven't read the books yet! I'm saving up my money to buy the complete set. Nobody is going to read this when I post it, I just realized. I don't have any friends on this site yet. OFF TO FIND NEW COMRADES!!! Thanks for reading (get it?) Faithfulro
