Back from hiatus/ Fighting the addiction

Hey people long time no blogged. Been quite a busy man with my birthday, black friday, university applications and all. But yeah just posting a quick blog to talk about what I've been doing mostly :) 
A friend of mine is selling his PAL equipment/games and I got most of the games so I've been playing a lot of Xbox 360 games that I had played before in a few cases on PC and that I'm just getting through slowly to properly enjoy them. Got about 25 games to go through still but I've finished 4 in the past 2 weeks, I find it pretty impressive but the length of the games is pretty short so no real kudos deserved :P 
Well I finished Fable 3, Halo Reach and Call of Duty Black Ops and am getting through 6 other games in the meanwhile.  

First of all Fable 3.  
I've always been a fan of Fable, I haven't played Fable 2 to be honest but have played Lost Chapters on PC and had greatly enjoyed it. I knew everything about Fable 2 by watching videos all over the internet, mostly on youtube. So knowing all of that I got into Fable 3 expecting great things. What I first saw though was disappointment. Just so you know, I always install games on my HDD before starting and when Fable 3 started to lag I thought there was a problem with the disc or something but according to the almighty internet it was a bug in the game. Bad way to start but slowly the lag went away as I rushed through the game. I'm not much of a completionist myself, focusing on the story based missions and the occasional sidequests. I sometimes just come back to the game in a later date. Still, a few hours later I had finished it with what turned out to be the worst endings I've experienced in a videogame in a long time. The fact that my entire kingdom was empty discouraged me from playing after the ending so it turned out to be quite a short experience, I still plan to come back to it later for the coop parts with a friend online. Until then, Fable 3 stays a bad memory in my head. 
 
Next I played Black Ops. 
I was a big fan of the first 2 Call of Dutys on PC. Modern Warfare was fine too. Modern Warfare 2 not as much and I didn't really like World at War. So it was a total shock when I absolutely loved Black Ops. The story was great and made me want to play more, the levels were varied and fun (with the exception of the whole barrel of Napalm level). But once again this game was ruined with the horrible ending that just stopped. It was going so great until it suddenly stopped, as if the makers were in a rush and cut out an hour or more of gameplay. Nevertheless the multiplayer made up for it but the omission of spec ops was quite a let down. I never really enjoyed zombie mode that much. I got Left 4 Dead to satisfy me in that domain. 
 
Finally I finished Halo Reach. 
I always loved the Halo franchise, from the multiplayer to the single player to the books to the story... And what a great way for Bungie to end their amazing journey with this. I mean no answer is really given and it doesn't fill any real information but still I found getting attached to Spartans pretty fun and the gameplay was greatly enhanced compared to Halo 3 ODST. I would recommend this game for any FPS fans out there. Great game in every aspect but if I could have asked for anything more, it would be some more closure in the story aspects. I mean great (SPOILERS) you get to know where Cortana came from and you meet a HD version of captain Keyes (SPOILERS) nothing really worth playing the game for (story wise as I said gameplay wise its great). 
 
I'm now playing Dead Space, Mafia 2, Crackdown 2, Vanquish and some sports games. I'm in no rush to finish any of them but I'm trying really hard to distract myself from the next topic I was going to talk about... 
 

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
