This weekend was taken hostage by the Halo: Reach beta since Bungie just released a new gamemode to be tested out on; invasion. Invasion is c.lassic spartans vs elite with Battlefield-esque game play; defending points from the elite that they must capture. Also included is invasion team slayer (my personal favorite) adds rewards for teams that are more aggressive at capturing random points throughout the map by capturing these points the teams will get weapon and vehicle drops. It's a great new twist on team slayer and I wonder why there hasn't been a mode like this before and also how am I going to go back to playing Halo 3 when the beta is over? Quite the dilema, I know.

I dove into the Guild Wars: Trilogy for awhile with my friend Andy since it had a good sale on Steam at only $20. We quested through barren lands and fought a lot of weird rock enemies until it came to a bitter end by getting surrounded by enemies that kept healing each other which made Andy and I bitter and rage quitting the game for awhile. I'm rethinking the whole warrior thing and might just change to a ranger so I don't have to worry about tanking, the NPCs are pretty awesome at that.

Speaking of rage quitting I had some pretty bad experiences with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on Saturday though it wasn't too bad because I was playing with my friends but there are just some of those days where I can't hit anything or see anybody. Frustrating at times but I managed to rank up.

To top the weekend off I managed to complete Splinter Cell: Conviction on Realistic difficulty, it was quite difficult but very satisfying. Now I need to get on some of that Co-op realistic campaign and delve more into the Last Stand deniable ops mode. It's going to be awhile but I know it's going to be enjoyable.

I bounced around all weekend between games, how about you? What did you manage to play?
