Sleep like a dog!

Recently I came across a game that looks like it may just have been made by myself, everything I love in a game is in this one, for example, it has a great mafia story that takes place in Hong Kong, so you can go to the main city or you can go through ancient Chinese towns, which is something I have always been interested in. Also the story is about the triads, and I love me some gangs. It has awesome free flow combat, which means it will slow down and speed up throughout the fight scene, and last but not least the car driving is made by the people who are responsible for need for speed.

This game is something I have really been looking for and now I just cant wait to start playing it, It comes out in August and I don't know how I will be able to wait that long for this game.

Horrible Teammates

Recently while playing Halo: Reach, I got the great pleasure of being teamed up with what I assume to be 6 year olds. There is nothing quite like being paired up with a team who either are not playing or do not know how to play. Each match generally goes to 50, and has a time limit of 15 minutes. So many times I have started a match only to find out that all 3 of my teammates, must have gone to use the bathroom or eat supper, because they are all just idle and getting killed left and right. So you have to try and make up for their loss, only to be mowed down by all 4 of the other team. Sometimes you can get lucky and rack up some kills while they are off by themselves, but other than that you might as well give up. Also when you do have teammates, but they refuse to turn their mic off, so they just talk about sleeping with other players mothers, or scream "RUBY TUESDAY!" every time they kill someone. My advice to anybody playing Halo is to go offline if you are going to have to leave soon, or play the campaign first before online, so that you don't suck and let your team down.

The Witcher 2

Recently I have been playing alot of The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings. So far I have approximately 52 hours sunk into it and there is no end in sight, if I were to say one thing about this game I would say it is hard as hell. The gameplay is quite unforgiving, you make one wrong move and you are dead, also the autosave function is horrible, you have to save your progress regularly or get used to starting over very far back. Also the quest are very hard because instead of giving you a detailed description of what to do and where to go, it basically just says you have to do something somewhere, but there are no indications of what and where. All of this sounds like I am running the game into the ground, but actually I am quite fond of this and I like the way it all is, because nowadays games are too easy, like in fable whatever quest you are on there is a glowing trail to follow that leads you right to where you are supposed to go. But this game you actually have to be able to read quest lines and character biography's, this all makes for a much more rewarding conclusion to each quest. Every time you complete a quest or take out that boss you thought impossible, you want to jump up for joy and give yourself a nice pat on the back. This is why this game keeps bringing you back so that you can eventually feel that feeling.
