As the title suggests, I'm still catching up from 07.

Wen't down to EB games last week and was surprised to find both Mass Effect and Assasin's Creedat half Price. $100 fora couple of games with a couple of A's... not bad eh? Well, I loaded the games up and I have some mixed oppinions.

Assassin's Creed is quite good, I like it, but like many, many reviewers have said before, It gets REALLY repetative, which for some people is a good thing (those who enjoy the odd stabbing) or for more sane people like myself and most of the population who enjoy it for a good few hours, then the novelty wears off. I quite like the game, and it's an original concept, but I felt like just finishing the game after a while, knock over the story, you know what I mean? Well, from what I hear it's a bit of a dissapointment, but I figure it isn't really all that much effort to kill a couple more people.

Mass Effect.. what can I say? Not for the action hungry I guess. I personaly, am really digging this style of play for some reason. I've never been into RPGs (appart from like MMO's) where character development is so important, but I find myself drawn into what ever it is my character will do next. I keep thinking of this game as a Movie, where you call the shots (and shoot a few ), and I really dig that. I like the long cutscenes, as long as you get to intereact in some way (No MGS4 for me) and this game does that. Only other thing I could really say about it that I wish I had of got it earlier.
