Well I beat the first Dead Space last week. Was a jolly good time. By the end of the game, the scare factor was mostly gone as I had gotten used to it, so it's nice that Dead Space 2 will focus more on the action because vets will not be too frightened. A friend brought the second game over last night so I got to play the first chapter. A lot harder. Well, I also played 1 above the default difficulty. There are 5 in total, so I started on 3. Graphics are far improved.

My brother was very upset how the laser sights on weapons are no longer dynamic. In the first game, the lasers would stop behind objects that were in the way so it actually looked like a beam of light was shooting across the room. But in the new one, the reticle always stays the same distance from you no matter what and never changes depending on how close the object is.

Also, having to step on enemies for the drop to come out is annoying because it is easy to forget what you have and have not stomped.

Friend should be done with the game today so I'll get to play it soon.

After 2 days in a row of playing for 5 hours straight, I finally finished Bioshock. It's about time! The conflict with Andrew Ryan was good although too short and anti-climatic, and the final boss fight and ending was a huge disappointment. The end of the game in general needed some polishing. I mean, you don't even get ending credits! Ah well, still a really fun game. I don't mean to rag on it totally.

With school coming to a close, its time for priorities. The gaming industry is pumping out good games at an alarming rate for someone who can only spare a few hours a weekend for games because of hours of homework every night. This summer is a time to rent, rent, rent, and buy. There is so much on my plate for me to accomplish:

1. Finish main story line in Fallout 3
2. Beat Bioshock
3. Get some good hours of Far Cry 2 under my belt. Get decent at editing maps
4. Pick Halo 3 back up and play new DLC
5. Buy a cheap copy of Mass Effect and beat
6. Rent and beat Mirror's Edge
7. Playand beat the Half Life portion of The Orange Box. Episodes 1 and 2 may follow
8. Finish Advance Wars DS on hard mode
9. Attempt to beat every level of 007 Golden Eye
10. Get some machinima up and running
11. Mod The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind?

I willundoubtedly think of more items to add;and I don't think I will complete half of this list because I will most likely be busy or lazy.

Fingers crossed!
