Been keeping myself busy with work and gaming, for the time being I've been keeping myself busy with a mixture of games. Currently got my rental game SAW which is not a bad game, mixture of puzzles with a bit of action but I am finding it quite long since you spend most of your time exploring a run down asylum. I am aiming to clock the game for the full 1,000 gamer score so will keep you updated on that, so far got around 240-300.
Also been playing still Shadow of the Colossus, currently been working on all the collectible trophies and need to finish off the time trails on normal difficulty. Did just find out I might have to complete the game up to four times to max out my stats and get some of the last trophies, don't get me wrong I love the game but I do feel that is a bit much. So think I will just keep coming back to it now and again when I got a few minutes spare, there is plenty coming out soon I rather play.

That reminds me I did pick up Skylanders Spyro's Adventure yesterday, I'm still in two minds on what to think of this game. It's a not a bad platform gaming, complete a few puzzles, defeat a few bad guys etc and the graphics are very nice. Story is ok but its clear its aimed for the younger generation which is a shame since the Spyro games use to be for all ages. You can complete the entire game with the figures that are included in the starter set and to be honest I really do not see the point in buying the other figures. Levels do have secret areas that can only be opened with a character of that element but there is no real reward for opening those areas other then getting a hat or two or some treasure. If you want to 100% every level then yeah you will need the other figures but even then you only need one of a each element.
As I said I really don't see the point, there are some cool looking characters that I would love to play but I can not justify paying for them since there is no real reward. Have to wait and see, I did hear they going to do more games in the series and the sets carry over which could be cool. Also be cool to see some DLC that adds more.
Also keeping my eye on the 3DS version since I hear its a different type of game altogether, more of a side scrolling shooter and the set comes with an exclusive dark spyro which looks awesome. But I would only get it if it went into a deal of the week or sale for a good cheap price, hopefully at Christmas but anyway I will post more once I've got more stuck into the game anyway.

Did pick up Dark Souls yesterday as well along with the limited editions strategy guide for it since I got a feeling that I could do with all the help I can get. Was able to get it pre-owned and at a good price, the game had barely been played. Although I'm not sure I will fit the time in for it since in less than a weeks time sees Batman Arkham City coming out! soon as it arrives everything will be going onto the shelf. Then a week after that is Battlefield 3 which again will keep me busy since no doubt I will be online with the guys from work. Then what four days later sees Uncharted 3 released and again everything will be on the side while I continue my adventures as Nathan Drake.
Dang there is way too much stuff coming out and no time to get ready, there are so many games in my back log that I want to play but won't have the time. How you guys coping with all the new releases? panicking yet?
Anyway going to end this post here since I want to get some time on Gears of War, currently doing a game or two every day to work towards that seriously 3.0 achievement. So have a good one and I will post again soon
