I figured as such! I didn't plan on
obtaining it, but I think that
I may have to include an
unscheduled stop at
one of the local
gaming stor-
es this h-
olida-
y!



W-
hat d-
o you lik-
e about it s-
o far? Sure it's
not Oblivion, but
with over 60 hours o-
f gameplay included, it
has to have some merit!!

Back to Azeroth for me. I got sucked back into playing World of Warcraft just before Halloween. I love the seasonal quests & decor.

That's great, GreaTea! I wonder if there is a
Thanksgiving theme to arrive soon. I gue-
ss only time will tell. I'm currently play-
ing, err testing a few holiday titles
(laughs). Aside from them, I ha-
ve returned to Uncharted, th-
e original one on PS3. I h-
ave also been getting
back into Castleva-
nia: Symphony o-
f the Night via
PSP, but I'm
playing as
Maria t-
houg-
h!



H-
ow p-
owerful i-
s your chara-
cter by the way?

Finished Dragon Age earlier this week and today completed all achievements... great game! Graphics may not be the greatest, but the story, characters and voice acting were quite well done throughout. If you've played a Knights of the Old Republic game, the style of combat and exploration will be familiar.

Now that that's done, toying with Lego Rock Band and after that, Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 await!

Congratulations on completing Dragon Age, Roemello!
I would have thought that it may take you longer
to finish since it was mentioned to be over
60 hours worth of gameplay, but that c-
ould be with side quests and bonus
missions I suppose. I too am a-
nxious to play Modern War-
fare 2! I had it since M-
onday and was goin-
g to save it as a
holiday title w-
ithout test-
ing, but
I gue-
ss
I coul-
d test th-
is game too
(laughs). Assa-
ssin's Creed II and
Left 4 Dead 2 will be t-
he next titles that I hope
to acquire. We will soon see.





Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Prestige Edition)...





The Night Vision goggles and metallic case...





Just the Night Vision goggles (which works great, but it's difficult to tell distance)...





The metallic game case and art book...






There's also a hollow head-piece
which acts as a stand for t-
he goggles, but I decid-
ed not to release it
from the bag w-
hich housed
it. I gue-
ss it
c-
an b-
e called
a mantle. T-
his mantle was
numbered and the-
re's a code available i-
n this set that activates t-
he original Call of Duty for play.

Well, I did go through all the subquests... except for some with an assassin's group I didn't wanna join with my main character, but otherwise, I went through everything! I just played the hell out of it every chance I got.. which I haven't done since Fallout 3 Got it done though! Just remembered I still have Republic Heroes to finish up as well, so three titles looming after I finish out Lego Rock Band At least those are the last of my acquisitions til next year.

Tis great that you are pretty much up to date
in terms of keeping atop the growing li-
brary of games in your collection,
Roemello! As for myself; stil-
l sloth-like in progressin-
g... and I'm certain t-
hat this cycle will
continue. I'm g-
etting into P-
rototype o-
nce mo-
re no-
w!

Since last post, finished Republic Heroes and Lego Rock Band, so now full on into Assassin's Creed 2.... which blows the original away!! Such a rare treat to have a sequel that actually surpasses the original! The new assassination techniques are a lot of fun to do... everything just flows a lot better... story's better. Getting close to the end, but this is definitely one you'll wanna jump into if ya enjoyed the original!

Congratulations on your completions, Roemello!
You certainly aren't wasting any time (laugh-
s). I'm picking up Assassin's Creed 2 tod-
ay, but I'm going to have to resist te-
mptation to umm, "test" it (laugh-
s). I really need to complete th-
e original first... at least, I
would like to. I still have
not completed Unchar-
ted (the first one) y-
et, but I'm progre-
ssing well. I ha-
ve finished P-
rototype o-
n Sunda-
y, but
I'm
not su-
re what I'll
be playing ne-
xt since my work
schedule will be cra-
zy next week (tomorro-
w as well). Maybe Modern
Warfare 2 should be "tested."

Ah! Forgot about that one! I did manage to get through Modern Warfare 2 as well during that last stretch Achievement totals on that game won't go too high for me as Veteran destroys me in seconds As do most of the special ops stuff, so I moved on beyond finishing campaign on normal. Almost done with Assassin's Creed 2 now though! And another set for full achievement completion no less!

Good idea to wait and get into the first Assassin's Creed before playing part 2... as part 2 picks up exactly where part 1 ended, so it does make it more interesting to follow the series from the start

Will do! So far, I was able to complete
Prototype, though I still have some
goals that I wish to accomplish i-
n it. I'm also making more pro-
gress in Kingdom Hearts on
the DS and Far Cry 2 on t-
he 360 (which is visuall-
y and interactively su-
perior)! I have quite
a ways to go befor-
e finishing Assas-
sin's Creed, so I
doubt that I'll c-
conclude it in
time befor-
e startin-
g the s-
equel.
Oh w-
ell I
sa-
y.

Just be careful of the game killing glitches in Far Cry 2... I did some follow up reading on it and the save kill that destroyed my progress is a very common one... so make sure you're maintaining multiple saves as ya progress!

Finished Assassin's Creed 2, hopped around a few titles (including beating Guitar Hero Aerosmith on Hard difficulty which was a nice pride moment ), but now I'm back over to the PS3 and into Uncharted again. Got my new save I made a while back to get the trophies all caught up to my first save's progression, so we'll see how far I can get through this game this time

That I will. Thanks in advance for the advice.
I remember you mentioning it back then
and it occurred to me why I resisted
temptation to play it (laughs). S-
o far there are no issues, bu-
t I have been saving with
multiple files... so tha-
t's a bonus. Just hun-
ting for diamonds
for now. I'm ha-
ving fun just
traveling t-
hrough t-
he env-
iron-
me-
nt
!



(be back on Sunday...)

I
pick-
ed up t-
he last fe-
w holiday ga-
mes just today!

-Metroid Prime Trilogy (had this reserved for quite some time... laughs)
-Left 4 Dead 2 (finally!)
-New Super Mario Bros. (just walked in and purchased it... but they're going fast in my area)
-MX vs ATV: Reflex (pre-purchased and got the bonus courses)

Continuing the the progression streak, finished Uncharted and started up Uncharted 2. Also started up God of War and got back to Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii after a lengthy layoff. And started up Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines on PSP... getting back to my neglected systems at long last
