The Week After

Morning folks,
You know last Wednesday when I decided to do a marathon attempt to complete Pokemon White? well it worked. I spent around sixteen hours on Wednesday (I did have breaks) in which I took out the last four gyms and got myself to Victory road, then on the Thursday morning I took out the elite four plus the champion. Then the last boss was taken down after work on Thursday evening which finished the story for me and my god was it great. I never finished Ruby/Sapphire or Pearl/Diamond so I'm not sure if they had a improved storyline but I love it in Black and White. I like how they trying to give more of a reason to play other then beat the elite four to become champion, it was nice to see mini cut scenes as well and I really cannot wait to get stuck into Black and White 2 now to see what they have done with this set. Also makes me wonder what they will do with the next games on the 3DS, especially with the improved graphics and better cartridges to hold more memory.

 I did pick up quite a few games last week and in fact I bought all the new releases I wanted, my will power pretty much caved in on Friday and Saturday. I did some trade in's which covered Dishonored then I picked up both Black 2 and White 2 (yeah I always get both except Heart Gold which I'm still missing), which was meant to be it for the week but then I tried the demo for XCOM. Forty minutes later I could be found at my local GAME buying it for the Xbox 360, it really shocked me how great it was for a turn based squad RTS. Not tried it yet since I pretty much spent all of yesterday playing Dishonored which I'm about half way through now since I hear there is only nine missions and I'm on number five. In a way I want to get Dishonored done before I dive into XCOM but everyone keeps talking about, especially how hard it is and how they keep losing their squad members.

I do have a plan to try and get Dishonored done before Assassin's Creed 3, I would really love to get another game done as well but all the new releases I've picked up are time consuming ones. So I really don't see myself finishing a second one, but I am determined to try at least instead of increasing my pile of shame.

So how about you folks? what new releases if any did you pick up last week?

P.S. Just remembered Professor Layton and Medal of Honour Warfighter are releasing the 26th October just before Assassin's Creed 3, DOH!
