This was the first weekend without Halo: Reach multiplayer, I was going through some withdrawl and still a little frightened to go back to Halo 3 so I played some other games quite extensively.

I'd say the major game of the weekend was Dragon Age: Origins. I finally beat it and I must say that game did not disappoint one bit. As much as I want to start another playthrough I'm going to start Mass Effect 2 now since I'm still trying to catch up with that game. I know that's going to be equally awesome because it's Bioware when have they ever failed with an RPG? I recommend Dragon Age for anyone that is looking for an RPG and can play for a good 60 hours.

In between times of Dragon Age or when I needed to take a major break from anything so intense I've been playing a rather simple Indie game called Altitude. It's a side-scroller multiplayer shooter where the players customize their airplanes for combat against other players online. It has some pretty in-depth customization options organized much like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. You have different planes, three perks to add to your plane and even challenges to complete to rank up. Very addicting and very fun to play casually.

Though much time was spent at the computer with Dragon Age I managed to give the ol' Xbox a whirl as well with some great co-op sessions with Splinter Cell: Conviction. With the help of my friend Andy we were able to finish up the campaign on realistic. Very fun co-op campaign but you can probably ask either of us how many times we got frustrated when things got bad and one of us got seen (I account for 90% of those spotted moments, sorry Andy).

Good weekend of accomplishments and I'm finally starting to dwindle the amount of games I have to catch up on. Go me. Does anyone else have a stack of games to catch up on besides me?
