The Deluge

Wow, what a summer I've had in regards to gaming.

That said, I apologize for the lack of posts, even though I've been chewing through a lot of games, including a handful of franchises that I'd previously overlooked.  The combination of work, commute, and need for downtime killed most of the time I would have had to blog, and while I'd love for this to become something more, it is still just a little diversion.

If I were getting paid for this... well, that'd be a different story.

Post this on your wall

So, it's funny, my last post prior to the hiatus was about my tackling Assassin's Creed II, and now I'm talking about its sequel, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.  More specifically, I'm going to talk about its use of Facebook integration, and how this might end up becoming a game changer.  Plus, I'll go on about my recent splash into the multiplayer pool.

Rest for the wicked, but no sleep 'til launch

With school starting in almost exactly 4 weeks, I'm now weening myself off gaming.  I might go snag Bioshock 2, now that it's $30, but that's going to be it for a while.  I am contemplating picking up Halo: Reach on launch night, because I've never done a midnight launch from the other side of the doors, so I'm interested in the experience of it.  It's seemed like fun, and reminds me of my days lining up for the first showing of new movies at the Uptown, when I lived in Toronto.
