I wanted to use most of the time being sick by playing games. The recently-released ones, mostly. So I stockpiled a bunch of them, and started playing.

First on the list was Crysis. It was fun, at the start, but as I progressed further, all I wanted is to complete it already. Graphics were as expected; amazing. Nano-suit was fun, but I expected more. So I gave it a 8.5, and now I'm looking where to get Warhead.

Next is Assassin's Creed, which I very much wanted to play. It turned out to be pretty satisfying, but nothing more, as it got repetitive later in. And the story was hard to follow. 8.0 for exciting moves. But I hate cliffhangers (especially as stupid as this one).

And Far Cry 2. I think I see a pattern in these "Cry" games. Cool new tricks (why no one used them before?), amazing graphics (for uber-hyping up), and then disappointing gameplay (mostly just frustrating) and sucky story (let's not forget awful voice acting). But Far Cry 2 was a really frustrating experience for me. Most of the missions are completely alike, moving trough the world is long and tiring, and the story is almost non-existent. Very disappointing (6.5). But there are some nifty tricks with graphics (like your eyes adjusting to the light) and gameplay (repairing cars and gruesome healings).

On the to-complete list are also Red Alert 3, Witcher, Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Psi-Ops: Mindgate Conspiracy. I also purchased Left 4 Dead (thanks to UpInFlames' blog post), which I'm now playing 24/7. I'll write about it next time, now I have to go kill some Infected (and maybe few Survivors )

Looks like I got pretty sick. Nothing serious though, I just have to rest for a few weeks (maybe months). Sucks anyway. I'm stuck in bed, can't work on the PC, even worse, can't play on the PC. And I just installed Assassin's Creed...

So, just to let you guys know, I'll be away for a while. I hope you can do without me

Hey there! I've been busy trough the summer with a lot of things, but mostly with the new PC (see the previous blog post). I finally completed Unreal Tournament III, which was somewhat disappointing, but still very good (8.0). I also decided to go all the way with the new configuration... and try Crysis. Oh yeah, Crysis. It mostly played very smoothly at high settings. Yes, the game is very beautiful, concerning the graphics. Other than that, it wasn't disappointing, though I didn't expect much from it. Basically I expected Far Cry with Nano-Suit. Crysis seamed more linear and shorter, and I didn't get any urge to re-play it, but it was pretty satisfying (8.5)

Next on the list is Assassin's Creed and Gears of War. In the meantime, I'm still playing World in Conflict and Team Fortress 2 online. And re-playing GTA: Vice City for the x-th time.

Oh yeah, and the new Gamespot is here. It's not bad, though it's still unfinished. Unions are still the same, as well as the PM system. I hope they will fix that soon. It looks simpler this way. All I have to do is to get used to it
