Milestone blogs are always easy to make!
I have surpassed 10,000 posts in the forums, blogs and comments. My reward is a tin of spam should I choose to accept it. It's quite a lot of posts, and therefore a lot of time. I try not to spam the forums or blogs with useless posts, but I enjoy contributing, here's to the next 10 thousand.
I finished Red Alert 3, all campaigns. Soviets I probably enjoyed the most but all the sides have some good long range units. I ended up really disliking the co-commander system - it takes away far more than it adds for me. The cheesy over-the-top flirtacious Alied campaign was also cringe worthy. Sadly I'd have to say this is the worst C&C game I've played, and I've played nearly every single one. That doesn't necessarily make it horrible, but it's really disappointing direction for the franchise. The C&C4 news doesn't inspire confidence but I'm tracking it anyway.
Also picked up CoJ: Bound in Blood on Steam. I enjoyed the first one playing through it last year. I'm happy to say that I think Bound in Blood is the superior game. It does start out slowly, and the last half of the game is much better story and gameplay wise so persist with it. It's a pity the concentration modes were changed for the worst but most everything else is pretty damn good - graphically I'd say it's second to Crysis (runs great too). It's not a long game - about 7 hours long and the multiplayer was flat out broken for me. My full review for it is over at NGN
Haven't been playing a whole lot else, the usual Guild Wars questing. Wolfenstein is the next game I'm probably going to get, out late August and looks alright. Hopefully it brings back fond memores of Wolf 3D :P
The new Mechwarrior "teaser" / "mock-up" looks pretty cool. Above is my favourite game of the series. Although I loved all the Mechwarrior 2 games to death. Hopefully it turns out well. Click here for awesome intro vid! (1995)
