Hi there. I was very depressed about the amount of time I have for playing, against the amount of interesting titles that came out in October (and a couple of them are still about to be released). But the first victims have fallen and I can breathe easier now with "just" three games to play.

The first to go was Dead Space. Too childish to me and too Doomish. Not very scary too. When you always expect something to crawl behind your back, it's not unexpected anymore, isn't it? Cutting members off monsters may be "cool" for some time, but that doesn't make a game.

Now Fallout 3 is a different story. Played the game for a while: it's obviously very good and... enormous (in any possible way of using the word). And that's exactly why I am skipping it. I really don't have the time and patience to dig in all these RPG elements. If I am about to play an RGP, I'd rather go back to my WoW account...I am also fed up with the apocalypse scenery now that I am half way through STALKER: CS.

So it's only Far Cry 2 left to play from the end-of-October-wave. I am starting to get really frustrated though. Almost every single mission sends you to the opposite corner of the map. And the map is huge. And filled with military posts, even in the river. And posts are full of soldiers. And soldiers shoot damn well, so just passing through is rarely an option. Which means you can spend up to 15 minutes just to GET to your mission objective, let alone completing it. And that means killing tons of baddies over and over again...Does anybody else hates this travelling as much as I do?

P.S. Started Red Alert 3 the other day...Very funny and original, but not much of an added value to the RTS genre...

Damn it, I was going to buy me a brand new Fiat Bravo-Sport, but with the financial crisis gaining speed, I am not sure what will happen and whether I will be able to pay for it if they raise the intereset on my leasing

So I am postponing it for Christmas. Good news is that due to the same crisis, car prices may go down
