A game a day keeps the…
Didn’t think they made hard games anymore?
May 17th
Or at least I didn’t think they did.
After 2 years I have finally gone back to playing Mass Effect on the 360 so that I can finish it and try out the sequel. Maybe I am just rubbish at it but I seem to die like all the time?! Oh well, I will stick at it as I do like the game. Much swearing will be happening that’s for sure!
I picked up the God of War collection for the PS3 at the weekend, the re-release of the PS2 classics God of War 1 and 2 for the PS3 is a must play for me before I move onto God of War 3 as I have never played them. However I will probably leave these until I move house and am without Internet for a few weeks.
2 weeks until moving week commences….. I should really start packing!

Bioshock 2, you know what they say about sequels…
May 10th
… they are never as good as the originals…
Well in most cases anyway, but Bioshock 2 sadly fits into this category. Now I loved the first game, I thought it had great atmosphere and a great little story with a good twist. I was worried that a second game wouldn’t be able to recreate the same package and it seems like I was correct.
First off you are now a Big Daddy, sounds cool right? Well it should be except you feel about as strong as a wet paper bag… I got around this by pretending I was a frail human being again, which worked for the most part until the story kept reminding me I was a Big Daddy.. Grrr.
I played the first Bioshock on the PC, so maybe the atmosphere was better through headphones but the 360 version seemed to lack any really… but again this could be a failing of using a TV’s speakers. I am sure the areas in the second game are smaller though but I could just be imagining it to find more problems… so onto the things I actually liked…
ermmm…
See this is the problem, I love the setting and I like the actual gameplay but a game like this lives on its story and atmosphere and the sequel just didn’t delivery this for me so it was a bit of a struggle to want to playthrough and finish. Maybe I will pick it up when it is mega cheap on PC on Steam one day and try again on PC, who knows.
Don’t get me wrong Bioshock 2 is an ‘OK’ game, just not as good as the first one in my opinion. Onto the next game I go…

I have finally finished Dragon Age: Origins
Apr 28th
Phew.. what a game! Around 50 hours of playtime and it’s finally finished though and it was one hell of a journey and one of the best games I have played for a long time.
In a world where developers think 8 hour games are decent it was nice to play a game that actually lasted and was better for being longer.
I spent a fair amount of time doing most of the side quests that came my way but still had a few more I could of done so I could of spent more time at it but wanted to get it finished. I went through the game as a dual wielding/archer rogue, with my dream team of Alistair (as my main tank), Shale (as second tank but, used as damage) and Wynne (as my healer) and much fun was had. I used a few of the other characters at various times but always came back to this selection as it worked well, although I do feel like I missed some fun by not using a proper full on damage mage… maybe on another playthrough…
For once I am not going to drone on about a game, if you like RPG’s then you will love this, I found it quite hard for the first few hours as I ran out of health potions quickly and this made fights difficult but once I had a proper healer in the group it became easier and more fun. More loot would of been nice to pimp out your group more but this is nit picking, I loved the game and will be picking up the expansion once I have cleared up the back log of games I have.

It’s been a while…
Apr 21st
Since I have posted a new blog entry and also since I have played a good RPG.
I have had a little bit of time off which has meant some game time at long last, this was mostly taken up by Dragon Age: Origins. Wow this game is good, at first I found it pretty hard but now I have a decent group going I am enjoying watching the story unfold.
Xfire informs me that I have played about 40 hours of the game so far, this seems like alot but I have so far managed to get the humans, elves and dwarfs all back on side in my bid to fight back against the darkspawn and any one else that stands in my way… Ok that sounds like I am playing a bit of a mega killer type character in the game but that’s not actually true. My Dalish Elf Rogue is master of both the bow and dual wield blades, he is trying to be a force for good and tries to give pretty much anyone a second chance… but if these people mess up again then they end up dead pretty quick!
No idea how much of the game is left to be honest but I have just been captured and am now stuck in jail in nothing but my pants….
