Awesome sauce.

I loved Assassin's Creed 1 and 2 so much, but I'm really worried that Ubisoft is starting to run the franchise into the ground.

This Brotherhood game just sounds like a cash-in on the franchise's name to me. They're recycling environments (Rome) and characters (Ezio) from AC2 and throwing in a multiplayer mode, and let's be honest -- who really wanted multiplayer in Assassin's Creed? I sure as hell didn't.

Hopefully the story in the single player is as strong as it's been in the past two games. As long as it fits in the overall timeline of the series and doesn't feel like rushed garbage, I'll probably be happy with it. But again, I'm really worried this isn't going to be the case. Originally I was horrified because I thought this game was going to be multiplayer only, and dear God... I'm glad I was wrong. lol

You think Rome was explored in AC II? I sure as hell didn't. And a multiplayer could be amazing, think of something like this.

Your target is in the middle of a heavily guarded house. You need to blend with the crowd and poison a guard to distract the rest of them. Your partner then assassinates the target and you both get away unharmed. This would all be going on in real time, and you could approach the mission in many ways like AC1.

Co-op could be cool, but I don't think a strictly versus multiplayer mode is going to be anything more than a clustercarp.

Only characters I've used so far have been Ryu and Cammy, furthest I've made it with Ryu on normal mode is the Rival Fight with Ken Unhappy

Damn, sounds pretty hard and I'm not that great at fighting games either, it might be that it just takes a while to be good enough for it like I DOA and so on.

As for Ac: Brotherhood, seems like it will be interesting and it would be awesome if it does have Co-op in it. Unfortunately, i have still got to get AC2 yet and on top of this I have got to get a new AC1 since I can't complete the game because of a glitch where I fall through the floor all the time where you have to go after the last target who is with the king.

Also, I have been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum and I think the game is awesome, I did the game in easy not long ago and today I finished all the riddles and items. Now I have got to do harder modes and yet the medals which seem a pain to get.
They're back.

Gosh that's an amazing trailer.

Welcome, next Game of The Year!

I was thinking that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the most anticipated game, but MAN, was I wrong!

EDIT: Yeah, Super Mario World works on the FC.

It's finally here (As of last Friday), a fan-made film that's based around the original Mega Man. It's 93 minutes long, so get comfortable, relax, and for laptop users, make sure you put your computer somewhere that's not flammable.

Minus the incredibly irritating music (as usual) by Passion Pit.

I can't stand that band, omg. The music really isn't that bad but the dude's voice grates on my nerves so badly.

Yo this is some weird carp.

This year, E3 is June 15-17, and it turns out Nintendo is scheduled for the first day! Information about the 3DS, Wii Vitality Sensor, and a few rumored games (Such as Pikmin 3) are expected. Details and information about Zelda Wii are definitely going to be revealed.
Which PSP should I get? I know the 3000 can do everything the Go can do, but not carrying around UMDs and Memory Sticks sounds really good.

Not every PSP game is on the Store, so you may want to check out if the library is good enough for you before comitting to a DD-only version. If it isn't, get a 3000, buy the games you want from the Store, and get any UMDs of games you'd want that aren't on the Store.

From a hardware perspective, the Go is (almost universally heralded as) the best designed iteration of the PSP. You get some cool features going with a Go, like linking a Dual Shock 3 via Bluetooth to it, and a nice save state feature (In the middle of a boss battle but want to listen to your favorite Ke$ha song? Use this to listen to the music, play another game, etc. and then jump back into the battlefield).

If you can wait a bit, there are mumblings about Sony having some interesting things in store for the platform at E3. Could be another redesign, could be a rehash (ala DSi), could be a pricecut, or it could be a combination of a few.

Yeah, I sound like Sony PR.

True, true. Mabye I should just become a game tester.
Despite what that PSN show may tell you, being a game tester isn't the most glamorous of jobs, and could eventually make you hate games.
Finally getting down to playing some Burnout: Paradise on my PC. Coursework and revision have/should be getting in the way but I've been saying that for the last year and a half-ish. At that rate I'd end up not playing it. It's amazing by the way. Smile
OMG Photo Dojo for the DSi is FREE in the US until June 11!!!! I hugged the TV after hearing that. Seriously.
My Xbox hates me because a full clip of an M240 machine gun should kill a juggernaut, a full clip of an M4A1 Grenadier and 2 knife slashes should kill a juggernaut, and 2 shots from a grenade launcher sure as carp should kill a juggernaut, but none of that worked. So far only sniper rifles se to work and it's starting to make me dislike Modern Warefare 2.
MW2 is overrated garbage, stop playing it.
I've been playing the Lost Planet 2 co-op demo, there's garbage for you.
I know it's overrated, but I don't have many games too chose from when it comes to solo play. It is the only game I have to play solo besides the GoW 2 horde mode or ODST firefight.
Maybe it would be a good idea to play games in a genre outside of shooters?

Dude I checked your gamertag on the leaderboard and you've played for 30 minutes lol
