Been bloody ages since i blogged so figured i'd make one, let those interested know what i've been up to and i've been up to a lot. From gaming to working to becoming single again, yeah nearlly 5 years sort of finished last week so ladies, i'm taking names and numbers :P. Trying not to dwell on it too much but rather difficult anyway...
What i've been playing...
- Crysis Warhead
- Peggle
- TeamFortress 2
- Age of Conan
- Mount & Blade
Warhead's single player was pretty good and the game overall i felt was better than Crysis by a long shot. Plus it runs better which is always a big positive for any PC game. The multiplayer was a bit of a headache as i couldn't get it to run in Steam then it just worked one day, not played much of it but i did enjoy the brief minutes i played.
Started playing Age of Conan again after a recent patch on Sept17th, the games major bugs seem fixed and its now just up to FunCom to balance classes and add more content to the game. Cancelled my subscription until they release the huge patch they've been testing on the Testlive servers.
Decided to shell out the cash for Mount and Blade since its a little gem of a game in my opinion and one thats usually overlooked or shunned by most gamers. A very simple game with some great combat to it and plenty of mods out there to add extra content and generally make it a more fun game to play. Overall a good game and if you can spare the money then buy it, support the devs and help make this a better game :D!
Other than that i have just been working like a crazy fool to save up those pennies and now that i'm a single guy again i have to pay for everything myself, no 50/50 on the bills etc now. Started watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and finally finished it on Sunday night i think, really good TV Show and one of the few "anime style" cartoons i've enjoyed.
Now onto some more exciting news the KOTOR MMO has finally been announced with the official title of Star Wars: The Old Republic. I have to say i'm excited, really excited about this game and will be following it closely i think. I don't play World of Warcraft anymore but if i still did then yeah i'd stop playing it for this game, even though it'll be some time till its officially released. The more Star Wars games made the better i say.
And to finish i'd like to point everyone to a really kickass and awesome guide for The Force Unleashed thats been getting a lot of attention here at GiantBomb. I don't often say things like this but man, GameFAQ's eat your heart out, this guide really does crush a lot of the guides GFAQ's has to offer.
