Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed

Just recently I decided to get Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed for PC for the hell of it(and Mass Effect is better on PC anyways due to some new things). Both were pretty cheap($10 on Steam, you can't beat that, $20 for AC at Gamestop ), and I just got them also to see if I want to play their sequels. While I have not fully completed either game, I am liking Mass Effect besides a few things(cover system is like the 360 version of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter but a tad worse, those elevators take a little longer than they should), but as for Assassin's Creed, well, I have mixed reactions on that game. It is considered to be a love/hate game, and I'm torn in between. Despite having good things about the game, I just didn't have a lot of fun with it, I just find it average, hopefully I'll finish it and the sequel should be better, and from what I read, it could be, I'll at least rent it. Damn, that's too much gaming for me.

Modern Warfare 2 Controversy in Scores, Fox News and Pay to Play it?

1 Remember the last blog I made about what the PC version lacks compared to COD4 in multiplayer and other things? Well, it shouldn't had happened as Gamespot rewarded that version with a 8.5 instead of the console versions being a 9.0. All because of those missing features, and you got to love how users are downrating that version as well. It's a shame, oh well, still a great game going by critics.

2. This game makes it to Fox News, and they complained about you playing as a terrorist. Yeah, I'll stay out of that one, besides the fact that it's OPTIONAL and it's not real either.

3. Activision plans to make us pay to play COD games. Yeah, I'm starting to hate them even more, what's the point? Isn't DLC enough?

As for me getting this game, yeah, when it's used.

Left 4 Dead 2 Demo Impressions

I'm a bit late on this, but after liking the 1st one, I decided to download the PC version(and my brother downloaded the 360 version since he never game on PC), and from what played it's very similar to the original with a few new things. There are new types of zombies that are even more unique and deadly than the previous zombies, like since when did zombies ever shield themselves and can only be taken out in a specific spot? There's new weapons like melee weapons like pots, machetes and guitars, and they instantly kill the majority of the mindless zombies in one hit. I find it enjoyable since chopping heads off is satisfying no matter how you see it. Other than that, it's pretty much like the 1st one. Is that a good or bad thing? That depends on how much change you wouldn't to see, not to mention it barely looks better than the original too. My brother never played the original but this demo and enjoyed it, he almost wants to buy it for the 360. I'll be getting it on PC of course whenever I do decided to buy it.

Dead or Alive 5 and Perfect Dark 2 Rumors

If you guys didn't know, I love the DOA fighting game series. I played 1-4 and loved 4. And no, not because of the women, well, that's half of it. I love playing as Kasumi though, so yeah, anyways I liked going online in DOA4 and just like the series as a whole. I recently found out DOA5 may be in development. If this is true, I'm going to need some tissues, and it's not what your mind thinks either, you know what I'm talking about.

As if you didn't know, I love Perfect Dark on the N64, one of the few games I gave a 10 to and glad it's coming to XBLA remade with modern features. I gave Perfect Dark Zero a 7 for obvious reasons and you can read the review here. There have been reports that Perfect Dark 2 was in development since 2007 but the rumor is that is was either put on hold or even canceled. This link even shows a video of what the game looks like. In development of course. So Rare decides to make some games with Natal eh, I hope they turn out well. And I want more Joanna Dark action!

Girls of Gamespot

Yeah, I just had to talk about them, mainly the ones I'm friends with. And why is that you say? Just for the hell of it.

Fiona_Mac_92: 1st friend on GS who commented on my 1st blog, which wasn't even about gaming at all, it was about stories I write. While she isn't on much, she really appreciated the blogs I did earlier.

kbaily: She's been here for a while being in unions and all, and while she's somewhat serious with her topics and even posts, she's not that bad as she's nice, sometimes funny and makes sense most of the time, unlike some people here.

tagyhag: While she's a PC/Wii gamer newcomer, I find her to be hilarious when it comes to posting. Nearly every post I've seen from her makes me laugh or at least chuckle.

Princess_Jill: Going by her blogs, she's crazy, but funny.

Blixxed: Newcomer who is ok as she does come to System Wars sometimes and likes GTA.

Ohno_Kateh: I find some of her blogs to be good actually. She's decent but should be on more.

blueeyedtasha87: Going by her blogs, she seems to be having a hard time with her life, but at least she pulls through it.

Sandpiper121PP: I actually love her blogs as she puts a lot of work and detail into them and are quite often a good read. She's also a COD fan for your COD fans out there. She seems to be a great gamer overall.

zxv33: Another great user here with many fun blogs she creates that I end up liking, she's not that bad at all.

Lilyanne46: Newcomer who loves to collect games and I mainly see her in Off Topic ofum, she's ok but is quite different from other users here.

Viet_Phoenix: Newcomer who's been off for a while, but going by her blogs, she's a PC gamer with blogs that aren't that bad for her.

ruthielove14: IMO, she is one of the best users here. When it comes to blogs, she knows variety as I ended liking just about every blog she made from what I seen. From school to friends, to games, to traveling and more, she always puts effort into her blogs while being funny sometimes. Not to mention she showed pics of herself. While I wish she could be on here more often, I would not forget her anytime soon. I like her, a lot.

Yeah, I just did that because I wanted you to know that Gamespot isn't all guys!

And to end this blog, I present you the Top 10 Guility Pleasures in Gaming. Enjoy!
