Best vacation EVAR! Much needed rest and relaxation was had. The only downside was that Jules couldn't come because she got sick the day before we left.....
But otherwise the week was great and I really didnt wanna come back.
Now...onto the GAMING STUFF...
Assassin's Creed - Its all I hoped for with a few neato surprises. Haven't beaten it yet. But I'm really loving it.
Mass Effect - My boy parts tingle at the thought of this game. I've got my copy reserved at EB and will be going in Tuesday after work to collect my precious!
COD4 - not gonna touch this one. I know I know.....alot of people are digging this game. Including about 90% of my clan. But I can't bring myself to drop $60 on this game. To me its not worth the money....for 1 reason and 1 reason only. The multiplayer is not a level playing field. That whole having to play ranked matches in order to unlock perks and weapons is a HUGE deal killer for me.
I despise ranked matches on Xbox Live. And I strongly dissapprove of forcing someone to partake in online ranked matches in order to "unlock" the full multiplayer experience. Its a $60.00 game....I shouldn't need Live in order to enjoy the game completely. Too many games are too dependant on Xbox Live features....sure they are great to have. But not everyone has broadband internet or Xbox Live. Before I got Xbox Live I did nothing but campaign and the occasional lan party...and it didn't bother me at all. Because I knew my games didn't depend on Xbox Live totally.
As much as I love Live....In my opinion ranked play shouldn't be tied to unlocking multiplayer elements or achievements. I'm sure people disagree...and thats fine. But IMO its too much tied to Live.
Thats my $1.50 about it..
