Well Christmas was a few weeks ago so I feel necessary every year to make a Christmas Blog. Dunno why just do :? .
Anyways, I got Crysis for the computer. IT's not a bad game, however my computer is a little dated now so I have to run everything at the lowest settings, and it still lags quite a bit if I get in a big battle. I think it's the game's way of telling me I need to be more stealthy, you shoot you lag lol.
Also got Call of Duty 4 for PC. The single player is good, not as great as the original or the expansion (haven't played 2 or the console ones). However I'm LOVING the multiplayer. Normally I'm not into multi, usually I get owned too badly from people who have been playing past games in the series for years so when a newbie like me tries to play, I can't learn anything cause I'm always dead... Anyways I'm a Master Sergent II, level 19. I'm L1GHTN1N if you happen to play it and run into me. I'm not bad, not good either though.
Then my older bro got Guitar Hero III. Fun game, can't beat the last 2 songs (Raining Blood by Slayer and One by Metallica). Can do everything but the solos, stairways are hard for me. A week ago a friend came over and did Dragonforce's Through the Fire and Flames on Expert with 80%. If you haven't seen that yet they have a video on YouTube, it's pretty insane.
And my Older Brother also got Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer. He just beat it yesterday, he's been on all last week playing through Neverwinter Nights 2 again then Mask of the Betrayer. Took him 80 hours for both. Not my kind of game, can't really get into the story.
Also got a new wireless mouse and keyboard. Old one the left mouse button didn't work well, had to push at the bottom of the scrollwheel for it to work. This one also has the two buttons that work like the back and foward buttons for the internet that was pretty nice. Keyboard is good, nothing special besides the fact it's not all sticky :P .
And finally, I got Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. I was actually quite impressed with the game, despite all the negitive reviews it has been getting. Best way to describe it is a poor man's Gears of Wars, kinda like what Arcanum was to Fallout for those of you who have played both. Shooting is nice, cover system is kinda odd though. You have to walk up to a wall you want to get up against, facing foward. Then you have to turn to look around the corner, and Kane (or Lynch if playing Co-Op) will snap onto the wall. It's not terrible, just takes some getting used to. After doing it 10 or so times you'll do it second-nature. And of course LOTS of F'Bombs. There's one in just about every sentence, maybe every other. I'm not exaggerating either, literally EVERY OTHER SENTENCE has one. Kinda annoying but I drop about as many around friends so not too big of deal. The Multiplayer is fun, if you can get a game. I hate having the use the Xbox Live system on multi, same with Gears of War. Half the time I can't get into a game (once find a game [good luck with that >_>] I get an error after a minute or two), and if I do it freezes. IF you get it it's fun, don't know who's going to kill you and take all the money for himself most of the time. Makes being paranoid a good thing :)
Didn't get what I really wanted though. I asked for Rock Band for PS2. They were sold out everywhere though. Can't complain too much though, still got plenty of goodies. And last week a friend got it for360, which is thebetter version anyways. Hoping totry it out tomorrow :) .Since Rock Band is $200, my parents said if I pitch in $100, they'll get me a Xbox 360 instead, and Assasains Creed. Hoping to do that some time this month, need to get some extra cash from chores and stuff 1st.
So in case you can't tell I had a pretty good Christmas hope you guys did too. I'm already back in school (went back on the 2nd, who the hell starts school on a Wednsday?!) which is alright. End of the semester is on the 22nd (I get out of Cooking Class! Yay!). Oh, and they finally gave me my collector's emblem for getting over 200 games. Nice way of Gamespot telling me to get a life. So feel free to comment, and have a good day!
