After spending more then enough hours on Red Dead Redemption, I've decided that its just like Battlefield Bad Company 2. It's like a coin, one side is the good and the other the bad. In BBC2 the bad is the single player, way too short and pretty much a disaster while the good is the awesome multi player which keeps making you go back for more.
With RDR its a mixture, me and my friends at work have been looking forward to this game for months and the last week leading upto the launch we pretty much worked are self's up for it. We planned all sorts of adventures to do in multi player but sadly most cannot be done.
Free roaming is amazing, being able to explore the entire map with friends, attacking gang hideouts or just go hunting together is brilliant. Of course there was disappoint, first of no trains on multi player? that was the big thing for us. We planned to charge after a train on horse back, jump on and rob it lol just like in the films and of course hoping for someone to miss the jump to get that perfect epic fail. Yet nothing, the trains are single player only and just now I found out you cannot rob them either only kill the people on board.
Bugs...well we have found a few, the LT aim not working most of the time which means in multi player becomes instant death. Several times friends cannot join the sessions due to "Connection issues with another player" and of course the famous stuck on loading screen bug.
Oh and lets not forget it's very easy to be grieved, most gang hideouts have one spawn point so people can pretty much camp you. The other night me and a few friends got stuck, another posse attacked up then camped the spawn. Worst part was when you spawn you got a second delay before you given control and facing your back to them. Rockstar really needs to look into measure to give everyone a chance to fight back.
But after all that I am enjoying the game, hopefully future DLC will add train robbing and future patches fix all those problems.
Thats my thoughts for now

Warcraft Update
Spent a few hours on WOW this morning since I've had a week off from it, still enjoying the game just pretty much stopped working on new gear since the expansion looming over are heads just does not seem worth the effort to me.
In my last about WOW I mentioned about the mess that I've caused with my alts and that I was going to reset some of them. Well shortly after that post I did reset my Paladin, of course I just left him at level one because of the break. Anyway today I decided to pop on him since he some mail about to expire (pets from collectors edition etc), got him up to level 5 and picked the mail up then stopped. With Cataclysm changing pretty much stats, adding new abilities at lower levels etc I just see it being better to wait until the changes are put in so can learn the class from start.
Same goes for my other alts, just going to hang off until the changes are made :)
So in the way of Warcraft, I'm just mucking about on my main and cleaning up old achievements that might not be in game any more with the changes.

Update
About time I updated this thing, over the last month or so I've been real busy with life and gaming. My score is now standing on 93,000 and almost 94, of course I'm really happy with the progress made.
Been poping into all the Games, Gamestations etc to look for cheap games in the sales. Picked up most of the 2006 sports games for less then £2, also picked up some old games I kept saying I was going to get as well (Alone in the Dark, Mirrors Edge etc).
Have to admit though, the last four weeks or so as been bit dead on the gamescore increase. Burnt myself out really and with the extra hours at work my spare time just vanished. Need to get back into the spirit and get to that 100k marker :)
