Dishonored

Recently while scrolling the web, I came across something that made me very excited. Bethesda the company behind Skyrim, and Arkane Studios, the company behind Dark Messiah, are working together on a new project. The Project they are working on is called Dishonored. The game seems to be set in the 18th century, from what the trailer has to show you are a prisoner wrongly accused of the murder of the empress, you are given a power by a mysterious figure, and you go about being an assassin to get revenge. I believe that the whole game will revolve around the theme of revenge because at the end of the trailer it says "Revenge is Everything". I am very excited for this game because it is rumored to have the enormity of skyrim, while having different gameplay and being set in a sci fi type universe.

 I also checked out the website and this is the summary that they have for the game: "You are the once-trusted bodyguard of the beloved Empress. Framed for her murder, you become an infamous assassin, known only by the disturbing mask that has become your calling card. In a time of uncertainty, when the city is being besieged by plague and ruled by an oppressive government armed with neo-industrial technologies, dark forces conspire to bestow upon you, abilities beyond those of any common man – but at what cost? The truth behind your betrayal is as murky as the waters surrounding the city, and the life you once had is gone forever"

Mass Effect 3 Update

Well its over, the end of the epic trilogy from Bioware has come. The whole experience to me was breathtaking, and one emotional ride. The game went back to some of the main points that were introduced way back in the first game. For the first time in a long time, I felt truly captivated by a game and I was sad when it came to an end. I had come to love all of the characters and I do not want to see the series end...but as with all things in life all good things must come to an end, and so has the epic trilogy known as Mass Effect.

But I will not let this get to me, in my head I will keep on believing that there will be another Mass Effect and that if I can gather the patience I will be rewarded with more. There may still be hope.
