Currently, I'm rushing to finish Enslaved before my brother goes back to Uni and takes his Xbox with him - luckily, the game seems relatively short.

 

Even though, now I'm nearing the end, I don't want it to finish! I love story-driven, heavily cinematic games and this pushes all the right buttons for me. The look of it is absolutely beautiful, particularly the facial motion capture that's implemented. Blimey.

 

By playing Enslaved, my playthrough of Dragon Age is currently on the back burner. I'm right at the end, and (again) I'm reluctant to finish it. I love the party members (Morrigan gets on my nerves a lot though), but I actually don't like my character that much. I think it's because of the lack of voice acting included, so I feel like some strange mute character surrounded by witty, deep characters with interesting pasts. And I can't say I'm terribly sold on everyone looking up to my character as a Grey Warden - Alastair is so much cooler.

 

I'm also tempted to pick up and finish Apollo Justice on my DS, so I can move on to the new Professor Layton in preparation for the announced Phoenix Wright/Professor Layton crossover, which is probably just about the most exciting announcement that's happened all year. If it doesn't get localised, I will not be a happy bunny, and will have to start learning Japanese!

Just gave Darksiders for PC a spin.

 

It's great! I'd been looking forward to getting the PC version once it hit a sale (since a lot of the negative reviews cited graphical issues on the console) and I'm enjoying it.

 

Looks gorgeous and it's a lot of fun, even it is a pretty obvious 'port' (what with the limited visual configuration options and pre-mapped controls - good thing I've got my PS3 controller working on my PC).

Both Mass Effects are on my backlog, and I want to play through them both again before ME3 comes out. I lost all my save data on my PS3, so I'm replaying FFXIII just for the hell of it, and I'm gonna play through HL2 with the cinematic mod... at some point. At this point, really, what's taking up most of my time is FFVI, which I have on a gba emulator on my ipod touch. Jesus Christ, that fucking game is incredible. Someone needs to remake THAT.

So now I'm going back to AvP. Didn't think too much of the marine campaign, but maybe the Alien or Predator campaign will be more to my liking.

They're not. Being an Xenomorph is awesome, but the controls are too wonky.

 

On to 3D Dot Game Heroes!

Assassin's Creed 1, oddly enough. My new year's resolution was to finish the really old games I started but didn't finish. I've been stuck in the 2nd-last city cuz I can't do the last free mission I have - I tried for 2 hours but can't kill 4 guys in 4 mins without being caught/out of time. Faaack.

 

I'm also trying to finish Dead Space before the sequel comes out. Which probably won't happen cuz:

 

1. I just finished Chapter 6

2. I'm a big scaredy cat

3. I can't play for more than an hour cuz my shoulders & neck cramp up from being on edge the whole time

 

It took me so long to come around & have the mental balls to even start it. I downloaded the demo for DS2 but I always get scared after the intro and turn it off. :(

After hearing people talk about it every other day, I started up a new Mass Effect 2 file. Female Infiltrator (insert joke here), but besides that still a Paragon. I just don't like playing Renegade in ME.

 

I also really don't like what some things default to if you don't carry over a save from the first game (I did play multiple characters in the first, but for some reason only my main is available for import). Letting the Council, Wrex, and some Feros colonists die, for example. Also, Infiltrator is kind of meh, I definitely like Soldier better.

Picked up Greed Corps. the other day.

 

Played through the first campaign so far - had been wanting it since I saw the XBLA release.

 

It's a very excellent game - and can be extremely hard. You think you've got the match in a bag?

 

Next move - HA. You lose.

 

It's terrific.
