My Week(+) in Gaming (11/16/10-11/25/10)

Today marks an odd day in gaming for me where the Action/Adventure has taken over my love of the FPS once again. Blops started off great, the story was engaging, the multiplayer was different and the experience I was missing in my life was b(l)ack. Fast forward two weeks and that joy is gone.

Today marks an odd day in gaming for me where the Action/Adventure has taken over my love of the FPS once again.  Blops started off great, the story was engaging, the multiplayer was different and the experience I was missing in my life was b(l)ack. Fast forward two weeks and that joy is gone. The campaign was lackluster after the first couple of missions, the multiplayer is solid, but the maps are pretty dumb and the immediate customization leaves something to be desired.  I'm pretty done with this game and now that I've seen its trade value for 37 bucks and Enslaved only costing 40 brand new, well, the writing is on the wall.  I've been pretty busy this week, so not much gaming was done outside of SMB and BLOPS, but I did finally pop in Lost Odyssey.  The game seems like it's going to be a fun one and am interested to play it this summer.  Anyhow, time to write my test and head over to an EB to make the trade.
