So I was supposed to have done this last weekend, but I got an early invite to the Reach beta and that sort of took priority in my gaming time. But this weekend I managed to sit down and pull off the final achievements in the first Assassin's creed. Which mostly consisted of running from place to place to collect flags and kill templars. I had a guide, and an expectation of how long it would take me. It took much longer than that, and after a long session on Saturday without finishing, I was about ready to just forget about it.

But Sunday came around, and I realized I was a lot closer than I thought I was, and I knocked it out. My first 1000. Yay! I find it interesting that now that I've done all of that, I have no inclination to ever play the game again. I'm ready for the next one. I'm ready to go back and play though Final Fantasy XIII which I've been missing. I doubt I'll get 1000 on FF XIII, at least not in the near future. Perhaps gradually over the course of a few months, but from what I've read, it takes a lot of monster grinding and over 100 hours of game play to get 1000 on that game. So that kind of leads me to believe, I'd rather play a variety of games then I would worrying about getting all of the achievements for one.

My sister called me a day or two ago. She asked if I wanted to borrow Oblivion: Game of the Year edition before she sold it online. I said yes. She's also loaning me Ninja Gaiden 2. A game I know next to nothing about, but I wasn't about to turn down free games.

And this coming weekend I'll be seeing my brother-in-law, who will have Assassin's Creed 2 for me. But I think I'm going to try and finish a few other games before I jump into AC 2.

Lots of good gaming to come!
