My Gaming Update September

It's been a while since I've done an update on what I have been doing with my gaming so now is as good a time as any to update.

Firstly, I've finally posted a review for Red Faction Guerrilla, you can read it here. It was an enjoyable game if only for the destruction. I gave it an 8. It's a game that once I've experienced the main story I don't think I'll find much reason to go back to it although time may tell on that one.

I also picked up Dissida and it looks like I will be a fun game in the same vein as a Smash Bros Brawl. It has some RPG elements and a ton to unlock, so I think it will be great fun.

I have also put a couple of hours into Trauma Centre on the DS. It's a blast but it tests my dexterity on the stylus. I have a hell of a time stitching up wounds, so any help would be appreciated . I can see myself losing patience with this one as I move through the game and hit a wall.

Wolfenstein was a pick p for me, it's actually relatively easy to get through and while I haven't got through it as of yet (around 75%). It's an entertaining journey through the single player with the veil powers doing just enough to separate it from the pack. Unfortunately for trophy hunters the trophies are mostly multi-player focused and the multiplayer is terribly laggy. Unless there is a patch I would avoid multiplayer like the plague.

Finally the Batman: Arkham Asylum is the definition of awesome. It really does get the gritty feel of the comics down pat. The world guides you on where to go without being overly restrictive. The combat system is intuitive and it copes well with beginners and masters with a system that will get you by with one or two hit combos but will satisfy those with a craving to get 40 hit combos, which does take some doing to get. The game is packed full of unlockables, and each area has so much to see for fans of the Dark Night. I can't recommend this enough for anyone. Expect a review in the not so distant future.

Future purchases have started to ramp up too. I have pre-orders down for Uncharted 2, Scribblenauts, Brutal Legend, Assassins Creed 2, Ratchet and Clank, Modern Warfare 2 and Borderlands which has rocketed up my anticipated list. It almost pips Uncharted 2 as my most anticipated but not quite. All of the previews have been positive.

On top of the brick and mortar shop pre-orders I have further pre-orders on Persona, Bowser's Inside Story, Katamari Forever, Alpha Protocol, Tekken 6 and Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma.

Along with having my eye on The Beatles Rock Band, Wet and Dragon Age: Origins.

Looks like I will be quite a busy few months in gaming .
