So I haven't posted really in a long time but thats because during the long months of summer I got really bored of gaming. Playing Infamous, Uncharted 2, COD:MW 2, Ballad of Gay Tony, and Fifa 10 has brought me back and I've been loving every minute of it.

First of all, I really want to play Borderlands...any of you play it? It looks so awesome and I wish I had the money to get it right now but I may have to hold off for now. And what about Assassin's Creed II...anyone who has it want to tell me a bit about it. I didnt mind the first AC but I found it drastically overrated. Anyways....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

I just wrote a review on it so check it out there. But for you who don't want to...its a fantastic game. Single player campaign, which I was really excited about cause I really enjoyed the COD4's campaign, was awesome. So many decent twists. Some expected others not so much. Spec Ops has been a blast so far...I have 30 stars and I really want to get all 69 even though I doubt it because I'm not that good. Multiplayer is same old...still great. Read my review for alot more depth.

Fifa 10

Two funny things about this game. I never buy sports games and I never buy multiplat games for my PS3 (unless its notably better). So I bought Fifa 10 on my PS3 because I've always loved soccer but I'm really trying to start watching soccer more so I decided to pick it up. A bunch of my friends love professional European soccer and have a PS3 so naturally I felt inclined to buy it on there. Anyways, great decision. Game is a ton of fun and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys sports (specifically soccer) or competitive multiplayer because onlines so much fun. Should have a review when I play it even more but its a great game.

Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (Ballad of Gay Tony) - ***Spoilers

I actually beat this today. Got a bit side tracked (thank you for that COD) but finally got back on track and beat it today. Thought it was pretty fun but I have a small rant on GTA games now. I loved GTA 4, it was different and refreshing and the gameplay wasn't too stale. Now it is - with games like Uncharted 2 - third person shooters should have better controls than the slow paced GTA games. The story was also a bit meh. I loved the character of Gay Tony, he was a ton of fun, but it was too predictable. Same old stuff. Main character survivesand theres no epic twists or parts in the story. Just felt a bit flat. Still fun and I love GTA but GTA 5 needs to get with the times and become more epic and have better controls. Thats my little rant on GTA as of now.

Brutal Legend

Bought this at launch but all I've played is the introduction. I will play it and blog about it soon....I promise.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (2007 one)

Bought this in August but still haven't really played too much of it. I want to get back into it soon. When I do I'll blog about it.

Infamous

Loved the game. Beat in August. Dont know if I talked about it in previous blogs but I really want to write a review about it.


So expect me to blog alot more now!

Got this game three days ago because a friend works at Rogers. Beat it in about 10 hours after two playthroughs.

All I gotta say this is one of the best games I've played that is great overall. The story is entertaining, the music is brilliant, the graphics are probably the best I've ever seen. the technical aspects are near perfect (no framerate dips), the game has replay value - the multiplayer is SO FUN, and the voice acting is top notch.

Best game of the year...hands down and one of the best games ever made. I'll be playing the multiplayer for sure until COD: MW2 comes out and probably awhile after that if it keeps up the NO LAG and EASY TO FIND PEOPLE which is odd for PS3.

I havent been playing too many games in the past week and a half but I havent posted in two months so I'll discuss what games I've been playing and my new purchases.

Valkyria Chronicles

- So last time I blogged about this game I wasn't too pleased...I thought it would have been a lot better but thats not the case anymore. For my first actually strategy game besides the GBA Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, it was a unique experience. The game reminded my alot of Skies of Arcadia because of how theres 4 badguys and you pick them off one by one until you get to the final big bad. The story was interesting and the graphics were so beautiful. Expect a review soon hopefully.

Battlefield: Bad Company

- So I beat the game twice and played the hell out of the multiplayer. This game was blew my expectations out of the water and I look forward to the sequel thats hopefully coming out before years end. Again EA manages to surprise me to again and its funny I never bought a single game from them last generation but now I have 5 which are all amazing (Burnout Revenge, Burnout Paradise, DeadSpace, Mirror's Edge, Battlefield: Bad Company). Expect a review on this soon.

Chrono Trigger

- I'm almost done Chrono Trigger, I'm just doing some final sidequests before the last battle. Game was great and obviously a classic even though I think its a bit overrated. Expect the review when I'm finished.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

- I just realized I didnt write that I had this finished in my last blog so I'll say it here. Uncharted was an amazing experience. The zombie type enemie twist I didnt really like but the game was amazing and the sequel is one of my most anticipated games. Amazing game. Review soon.

New Purchases that I haven't reallystarted yet:

- Tomb Raider: Underworld

- Infamous

- Final Fantasty Tactics Advance 2

Also I'll be posting my most anticipated games for the year soon even though I'm more excited for the amazingness that will be the first quarter of 2010. (FF XIII, Alan Wake, God of War III, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, and much more)

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Auroni.
Auroni must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Auroni possibly have for not rating a single film?
