It's a wonderful day right now and the Sun is out with no clouds, so of course I'm planning to spend the day inside gaming. Well I'm not sure what I will be playing to be honest and I better explain that, as you all know if you read my blog regularly that I've been working on the Hitman HD collection for the PS3. I started last week working on Hitman 2 Silent Assassin and had some real bad luck with glitches and bugs, after nearly two hours I was able to get the first mission done.
Well since then I did get the first missions down with a lot less restarting and I was able to nab the 5 Silent Assassin ratings trophies. So the other day I got up to level 13 and then, well it was like running into a wall. It hurt and smacked me down, no matter what I did I some how had to restart because of a glitch. Buttons not responding, freezing or the weird A.I going crazy and able to spot me through walls. Anyway after an hour I finally clocked it and went onto level 14 then just gave up, why you ask? after my tenth restart I just couldn't do it no more. The game is slowly putting me off gaming for good, I know games need to be hard and especially when I'm playing on Professional difficulty. But when you got glitches and bugs it really does not help, it's worse since on Professional you get no saves so if something happens you have to do the entire level over again.
Hell I had it several times say "Mission Failed" soon as the level loaded up, not even had chance to move my character. So the game is being shelved for the time being before I brake my pad in anger and give up on gaming.
Of course that means I have no clue what to play now, I did pick up the Unfinished Swan on the PlayStation this weekend since it was half price off. A beautiful game I must say and I would recommend it to everyone, it's short but amazing. First person shooter except instead of guns you have paint, you start in a white room and I mean white. It's blank there is nothing there but fire the paint and you can start to see the walls, you use the paint to find your way outside and my god it's just amazing. Here is a gameplay trailer for the first opening trailer and it explains it better then I can describe it, the only thing I have noticed is this is an earlier gameplay so it's missing the soundtrack in most places.
All the levels have different art styles and tools to work your way through them, it's all about exploring and finding out the story of the world. It took me around three hours to get all the trophies in the game so I would say an hour to two to finish the story. Short but brilliant and just go buy it while it's cheap.

I think I might have a game to play, well that's a lie I have a pile of shame to play but I think I know what I want to play. You see yesterday someone on Twitter posted up a link for a new mod for the PC version of Skyrim. This mod basically changes the dragons in the game to be a lot tougher, we talking graphics, A.I and skills improvement. The article is over on PC Gamer and the writer describes in a lot of detail about his journey with the Mod and I got to say I had chuckle hearing about his mistakes. Check it out if you got a minute or two since it's a very good read, PC Gamer Mod of the Week.
It's one of the reasons I would love to play the PC more since there are a lot of fans out there that build and improve the game with their own mods. Of course my PC gaming time as decreased a lot since I've got into the consoles more, a lot more easier to play games by just putting the disc into the tray where with a PC you have to install and hope your PC can run it. Anyway I'm getting off topic again so yeah, I really want to play Skyrim since well I never really gave it the time of day that it deserves. In fact I own two copies of the game (Xbox and PS3) and I'm sure I have all the DLC on the Xbox as well since they went into the sale at one point.
So this week I might just jump into Skyrim finally, I do still have Lego Lord of the Rings from Lovefilm to work on as well so I can work on that when I want a break. That's it anyway folks for my update and I will no doubt catch you soon with more posts, until then have a good one and enjoy the sun.
