Waaaaayyyy too long since my last blog, so lets get into it.

I've been back at college for a week now...boooo...:( Gonna be a tiring quarter especially with the crappy weather that makes me want to curl up with a blanket and do nothing :P darn snow. But the light at the end of the tunnel is that this quarter ends only a few weeks after FFXIII comes out. I already know what will be occupying my time while I'm off :lol:

I beat Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time. Absolutely awesome game! Defintely my favorite R&C. I really liked the story and pacing. My favorite of the new weapons is the Sonic Eruptor. It packs a powerful punch. Like all R&C games, the dialog is hilarious. The space missions are tons of fun and the radio station commercials are so funny. I plan to play the challenge mode next.

Been playing Assassin's Creed II and it is SO much better than the first one! AC1 was repetitive but the sequel does not have that problem. The variety of missions are way better. So far my favorite ones have been in Tuscany. The assassinations where you have to go out to the villias in the countryside were cool. I really like Ezio and the story. There is just so much new and each part is different that I really couldnt explain all of the great changes they made.

Made my first gaming purchase of the new year this week. Picked up Darksiders and loving it! It's like DMC meets GoW with elements of Zelda. I know it sounds weird but it just works. The combat pulls elements from the first two with puzzles and tools that remind me of Zelda. The story focuses on War, one of the four horsmen of the apocalypse, who was tricked into starting the apocalypse too soon. The Charred Council, which he is loyal to, are supposed to preserve the balance between heaven and hell. He must right the wrong and try to restore the balence. War is awesome :D and so is Ruin, his horse. The animation when you call and dismiss Ruin is just epic.

So what will be your first gaming purchase of the new year?
