Start of the Week

Morning folks,
I've had a blast over the weekend and got plenty of gaming in, in fact I finally caught up with where I was on my first playthrough on Skyrim (not hard really) and now surpassed it. In fact I encountered my first random Dragon as well which was bit difficulty since I was designing my character to be full on melee plus I had not used a bow yet so that was interesting.

Anyway I'm loving it and I cannot believe how big the game is, I've been walking around for hours searching and exploring. In fact I just stopped following the main story to go off and find different ores so I can upgrade my weapons and armour. I can see myself losing hundreds of hours to this game over the next few months but god it's worth it.

So other then that I have been playing Minecraft but I will cover that part in my Minecraft Journal posts, I've also finished the story levels on Lego Lord of the Rings. Now got to start doing the collectibles part which is probably the longest section of any Lego game. I picked up the X2 multiplier and now got to save up for the x4, so this is the boring part and that's working on saving up money until I've got the first few multipliers to help me. I will be working on that this week and fingers crossed that I will be able to get all the stuff I need so I can adventure out and 100% this game.

Hmmm what else, oh yeah I tried out the FUSE demo and believe it or not I was not impressed at all. Shocking to say how much I enjoyed watching the trailers and it looked right up my street but no I found the demo to be basic and annoying. You can play all four characters and switch between them mid game but there is no information what type of classes they are (if they have any) so it's trial and error. The effect weapons are well boring, you can see the black holes or spikes happen but honestly it's like watching a grenade go off. Once you since it once in game you really don't care, in fact the game felt very arcade style with the points from each kill flashing up.

A.I sucks since your team mates will barely pick you up and they didn't bother on the mini boss level, thank god you can switch characters so you can revive them yourselves. Also the bad guys have the run to you rule so expect them to charge at you a lot of the time, bosses too! as I said it was basic and boring. Try it out for yourselves you might like since every ones taste is different but I'm taking it off my want list which is good thing with how much I need to save up this year.

Other then the demo I have been putting a few more minutes into my multiplayer games again, in fact I clocked level 31 in Tomb Raider. It's going slowly but I'm getting to that 60 marker plus I'm spending all my salvage to buy the extra upgrades and characters. Same goes for Gears of War Judgement and I'm now level 20 and clocked quite a few of the starting multiplayer achievements, working on the 10 wins for each mode right now which is a lot of fun.

So my goals this week I will be still working on Tomb Raider and Gears of War multiplayer, I could do with getting some Battlefield 3 time in this week since I've only played a few matches. Continue Lego Lord of the Rings and of course Skyrim. There you go folks my plans for the week and I hope you having fun yourselves, on this note though I'm going to shoot since I need to get ready for work.

FUSE Trailers

Morning folks,
Go back a few months and the game FUSE suddenly appeared on the scene, for me it did not even register as bleep on my radar. It only got my attention with the box art pre-order sleeves started to appear in stores, what was this orange box with a picture of four bodies with no faces. So I checked out youtube for a trailer and found well I'm going to go with a cgi trailer that just had one of the main characters talking about his team.

Unfortunately I cannot find the trailer right now so I'm guessing it was made by a FAN or something, anyway the game was now on radar but still not a massive thing. Well that was until yesterday when this trailer appeared and well the game is now on my list to keep an eye on.



Well that was until I started writing this post, you see while I was writing this post I had to start searching for the links for the trailers and well I found several more.





So we got giant boss fights, four man third person shooter with plenty of action and a ton of cool aliens weapons that can blow people up or cause different effects. How can I say no to this game? it reminds me of Gears of War and Bulletstorm, some of my favourite games so yes I will be pre-ordering and I have no doubt right now that I will be getting it day one.

Wow just checked it out and it's hitting the stores at the end of this month, looks like I do have a game to buy this month after all. Anyway anyone else interested in this game now? leave a comment with your thoughts.
