Good Morning.
So it's been around two to three weeks since you last read a post and I am sorry about that. You all know how much this year as played me up and well it got worse, my PC died last week and on top of that the hard drive in my TV went five minutes later. Plus throw in a few technical problems with other devices and you can imagine I was ready to bang my head against the wall. It does not help that my work shifts have gone to six days and because of the big game launches I'm working long hours, so the time to sort all these problems went right out the window.
So I'm currently sitting on my bed with my laptop right now typing this so you guys know I'm still alive, took me a while since I had to get Windows 7 installed on it and make sure it was ready to take over for my PC for a while. I really had no clue how bad it would effect me to not have my PC running, need to try and get World of Warcraft installed on here since my subscription is still running. Anyway enough with the ranting and moaning about my life, you are here to see what I've been up to in the world of gaming.
Well I finished XCOM in the week and it was not a bad ending, could had been a little better but still one of the best games this year by far. I really want to play through it again on the harder difficulties but I've got to much sitting on the back log shelf to get through. Pokemon Black 2 as still not seen any light of day since the launch weekend where I put a couple of hours into it, mostly because I've spent most of my weekends playing the new Professor Layton on the 3DS. So far I'm on chapter three for it but that's really not far into it but I'm hoping to get a few hours into it this week. Story is ok so far and I really like learning about Laytons back history when he was at college/school. Puzzles seem easier though this time around since I've not really got that stuck so far, which is unusual for me since I've always found myself having to spend all my hint coins trying to solve one or two puzzles.
Yes I've been playing quite a few games like I normally do, in fact I'm a good chunk into Assassin's Creed 3 and so far it's the best one in the series by far. Played the first chapter of Halo 4 on legendary difficulty which was great, hard but great. Then last night I picked up Call of Duty Blacks op 2 and did the first two levels on veteran and really enjoying it so far, the future levels are brilliant with the new technology. Trying to think what else I've been playing and yes there is probably more but I have forgotten them, oh wait! Testament to Sherlock Holmes was my latest rental and I've only just started. I loved the one before Sherlock Holmes vs Jack Ripper so it was a must rent for the latest one, so far it's not bad but the story as not kicked off yet.
So that's it for me in the world of gaming, I did just pre-order the Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm collectors edition on GAME.co.uk this morning since it was announced yesterday. Very annoyed they picked March 12th for the release date, it's not like any other games are coming out around the same time.
Anyway I better shoot off since I need to get a few jobs done before I head to work, hope you all having a great time and better luck then me.
