Its been a while since ive written here and in truth I dont even know what I want to say. Ive been active as always with my number one hobby so it shouldnt be too difficult to let my thoughts flow.

The elephant in the room. Resident Evil 6 has recieved a lot of hype and the reviews of the game have recieved almost as much attention. Gamespot.com of course listed its now notorius 4.5/10 score but in general the reviews have been mixed at best. Having completed the game its clear that this was indeed a very rushed game. Its not a "bad" game but it clearly needed a few more months in development in order to be considered "good". It manages to succeed at being an overall satisfying experience as long as you dont go into it with any sort of expectations. That, however, is difficult to do when the game is called RESIDENT EVIL. There is an old saying that goes "All publicity is good publicity" and its true. Whether fans ran right out and purchased the game because of its namesake or to see if its really as bad as the reviews say, the game still sold millions of copies world wide.
My personal take? Dont pay full price for it. Its a decent game made more fun with a friend but there are much better purchases availible this holiday season.

Uncharted 3 is a year old this week. Everybody knows Uncharted 3 is a great single player experience. What most people didnt know is that it also had impressive multiplayer offerings. Solid but more importantly, fun co-op and multiplayer options really gave this game some life. Naughty dogs consistent and ongoing support is beyond that of most any other game company. Its a shame so many gamers default to Call of Duty when there are thrilling new expeiriences to be had elseware.
I cant wait for The Last of Us.
