Another great weekend for games. I hacked away on games I currently own playing catch up before some big titles drop this Fall. I played a big chunk of Dragon Age: Origins Awakening which turns out to be a longer game than I had imagined but I guess this is an expansion not just some DLC. I definitely like the continuing story and the new characters. This only makes me much more excited for Dragon Age 2.
Last weekend I played the Limbo trial; this weekend I bought the full version and played it immensely. The seemingly innocent protagonist and environment is quickly put away when you first spot a giant spider out to eat you, bear traps that will sever you and creepy locals out to hunt you. Mix all those enemies with some great puzzle moments and you got yourself a very enjoyable game.
Another game I've been enjoying to get my Halo fix before Reach comes out is Halo Wars. Obviously most real time strategy games don't work on the console but it works well in Halo Wars making for a fun experience. Loaded with many units to choose from within each playable race the game boats variety but of course you're not going to have the large scale battles you would have on PC run RTS's but it's still very fun. The campaign is challenging and skirmish lets me hone my skills. Still not ready for Live multiplayer though. Always much harder playing against a human.
