General Update 16: The Blog Post With No Name

For the past week and a bit I’ve not been at work, which means all I’ve been doing is gaming. When I started I was playing Assassins Creed Brotherhood, which I have not completed. I even tried out some of the multiplayer as well. It’s something a bit different to the usual multiplayer that’s with most games that come out. Once I finished Assassins Creed Brotherhood, I started Final Fantasy XIII. It was my hope that I would tear through it and be able to pick up the big release for January, Dead Space 2. However the Friday came and went as did Monday, but as I felt I was getting closer and closer to the climax of the story I got stuck on a Boss. I have now decided that I need to grind some more before I go back and try that boss again.

Other than that I’ve not really done much. I know there is a Demo that I want to check out, that being Bulletstorm. I tried this game when I was at the Eurogamer Expo and didn’t really get on with it, but I think that was because I was being watched and cracking under the pressure. My biggest problem with it was that after you had whipped someone when I tried to kick them it didn’t behave with the smooth transition that you see in some of the skill shot videos as seen online. So I want to try again with the demo and without the pressure of people watching me.

One thing that may be worth mentioning is that I may get a chance to see the new Nintendo 3DS this weekend. You may be asking how I managed that. The e-mail was from Eurogamer Expo so I’m guessing I was put on a mailing list.  Anyway I had to sign up for a specific time on one of the two days. At the time of writing this I don’t know if I am going as it’s a first come first served deal, but I should find out tomorrow. I’m quite excited about this as I’m really intrigued as to how the 3d works without glasses.
