After a "successful" Google you get to a Wiki page that was created by a person with no knowledge of what you were looking for, and has been ill-informed. As a Wiki it can be taken as fact. Google it will end once people actually open their eyes wider, and see the conspiracies. Little green men have come from Mars, and are taking over. Watch the skies I tell you...

I was thinking about starting something like this again. I did a personal website for a while, and was posting about 1-3 times a week about what was happening, but it has been a really long time since now. I think it's time to start that up again.

Sometimes with a game like Dishonored you just have to move on if it seems to be more work than fun to play.

Was a Christmas gift, but so far, I am loving it. Just the system, and what it can do, or even the potential of it is great so far.

The only thing I would change is either allow for non-sony memory cards, or drop those damn prices. They are ridiculous expensive for such a tiny piece of electronics.

This is my first foray into the Hitman world. I am really liking it so far, but I don't think it is my style of game. I can see a direct route to where I need to go, and head that way, but then at the end with the breakdown of how you got through the mission, I notice a lot of things that could have been done. This might make me want to play it more, and repeat the level, or go over the game a few times, but I can't seem to look beyond the most obvious.

In the second mission (chinatown) I had taken the fastest approach to the level. Walk in, take out a guard, bring the target to me, kill, and walk out in front of everyone in the square. It just seemed a little too easy, and straight forward. I figured this out in the next level, as I am having a few issues getting to the tragets at the hotel. Getting in was nothing, finding the actual targets is what I can not seem to accomplish without alerting everyone to where I am, and having a giant shootout. I played through this scenario about 4 times for the better part of an hour, and finally getting tired as it was late, I gave it up, and went to bed.

I can't seem to get to the targets even when they appear on my map, and it is getting a little frustrating. I am really wanting to accomplish the goals, and get more story out of it as I go. Maybe because of the previous level being so straight forward, and easy, I need to forget about making harder for myself, and just hear straight for them. I should be able to disguise myself sufficiently to make it past a guard or two, so maybe that is how I will approach it tonight.

I also wanted to mention that since this is my first foray into the game I am only playing on normal, I don't expect to go harder difficulty, I don't enjoy games that are too hard to play through.

If anyone has any tips or tricks without spoiling too much of the game for me, please let me know. I am looking for anything that can help me out.

So one-third done in Lego: Lord of the Rings, and I am loving it. I have not played that many Lego games, but this one really does take it to a next level. I love that it is using the movie for dialog. It allows them the chance to add a lot more to the story in sense of Lego style jokes. If you have not seen the trailer I recommend it. The best part is at the end, and I just completed that section. It has a nice amount of humor, and does a great job at keeping the pacing moving just the right amount.

I have encountered 2 freezes so far, nothing related to the game as far as I can tell, but it is a little disconcerting. It could be me playing on the PS3 fat, and not one of these new PS3's, but that really should not make any difference. There is a lot of free play, and almost always a large area you can "explore" between the scenes that you play through. I also wanted to mention that Hobbiton in the Shire looks beautiful. Each vista that you visit is just as great looking as the last, and they really made the scenes gorgeous. So far I think my favorite part is the Misty Mountains. They really added a lot to the area, because we all know that it was a large part of the movie. There are parts you must carry the dwarf, or a hobbit over for assistance with the next area since they take a longer time to cross the thick snow, or play as Legolas, and you just walk over the snow like he did in the movies.

So if you are looking for a new Lego game, or a Lord of the rings game. I recommend this one. I have not always enjoyed the games, but this one is great, and comes highly recommended by me. (Grain of salt can be used)

So I have been playing a lot of Borderlands 2 lately. Still have not finished it yet, but loving it so far. I find the story intriguing just to find out what will happen next, and how I will get to the end. I think I am closing in on the last of the main story since I'm playing around at Jack's city right now. I loved Lynchwood, and all of the quests available from there. They were a lot of fun, and really challenging especially when you get to the final showdown. That was a really tough fight. I never used a sniper rifle as much as I did when playing through that scenario. Especially being a gunzerker, the sniper should almost never be used.

My next character is going to be the Mechromancer. She just looks like a lot of fun, and I was thinking about starting a new game with Gaige, but want to finish Salvador's campaign first. It does put a bit of a damper on the game though when the only time I can play is after 10pm for about an hour or two. No one on my friends list plays the game so that makes a little harder since I don't like just opening the game to anyone. There are a lot of annoying people out there I have played with in the past, and I think that I would still prefer playing with people I know.

Dishonored has been on the backburner for since it came out, but I really want to play that one shortly. I started the very beginning of the game, and played for an hour the night it came out, but never went back. I feel that I need to go through one game before starting a new one. Darksiders has been holding for me since Borderlands came out, and will also need finishing.

I never found the creepers in the caustic caverns, but I need to go back, and run to the island also. If the creepers are located somewhere else please someone let me know. I want to take them out. Just like I did with the 7 dwarfs, and Snow White. That was a great quest also. My favorite quest though was the headshot. Just a great little distraction from the game. Something that really needed to be added in the game for all of us that headshot everything.

I recently came by this site, and I have to say that it is a great place to enjoy. I love all of the Quick Looks the most, and the reviews are a great read. It just seems to be so much more to do with this site, than a lot of others out there.

Maybe a year or 2 later, and the console goes down on price, and some games will cheaper, I would pick this up. With The PS3, and Xbox I own now, I have played the games I want. The only one I would play is ZombieU since it uses that specific controller. I got burnt on the Wii, and know I will not get this until later.

I have been playing games for years, and there is a part that seems to come in the adventure games that I have a difficult time passing/completing. Since I have been with my wife before she was my wife for the past 11 years we were gaming together, or at times she would watch me game. The first time I discovered she was a good luck charm was with the game The Bouncer from Square-Enix. I got the the end of the game, and played for a few hours not beating the end fight. She showed up, and I was complaining about how hard it was, and how long I have been playing. She sat down, and watched me defeat him without taking a single point of damage. I used this a few other times as time went on. One for Ratchet And Clank, and most recently on Sunday.

I woke up early, and started playing some Darksiders 2 at the huge battle after reviving the golem with three stones I was fighting him for an hour, and died once, soon as she sat down, and watched I completed it with very little effort. I have told her a few times that I need her to watch me play some games more often so that I can defeat the battles a little easier, but she does not like just watching me play.

I just wanted to mention this, as I was wondering if there are others out there that can use their spouse/significant other as a lucky charm. Do you ask her to watch, or does it just happen when they come in the room?

So I was mentioning quite a bit about playing Sleeping Dogs, and how much fun I was having. I still love it, and it is a lot of fun, but sitting with a couple of games staring me in the eye after finishing Sleeping Dogs, means that I must move on. So last week I started playing some Darksiders II, on my PS3. I own the first one for the system, and I like to stick to one system for games like that. I have to say that Darksiders II is a great adventure game. They really made it feel different from the first one. Death is much more Agile, and the combat is more visceral so far. I have really just started the game, and been only playing for a little over 10 hours now, but it really is a great experience.

I would have liked if they would have kept up with the Earth in this game instead of a different world, but after a few hours they explain why it is not earth. Other than saying it is taking place at the same time as when War is at his trial for starting the apocalypse early. They say it has a lot of loot, and the possessed weapons are a great feature, and I agree, but the loot seems to still be a little light in the beginning. Or maybe it was because I had a couple of the extra downloads, and the Angelic armor, and weapons you get work for a few levels before you start to need that upgraTheded weapon, or armor. Now that I am just about level 12 I have really started finding that I can change weapons or armor much faster. I just finished upgrading one of my possessed scythes, and found something about 3 times better at this level. It keeps your inventory from getting too cluttered with the upgrading, and having different effects to a weapon is always nice also.

If you sacrifice a weapon with fire it can have a chance for fire effect when it upgrades, or cold, piercing, whatever you are looking for. Sacrificing armor even adds a defense ability to the weapon. Can never have enough defense I always say. I also like that not every dungeon will provide you with a new tertiary weapon or power, and also that you will use these powers throughout the rest of the journey. There is some backtracking, but when is that not expected of a game like this? It is after all an adventure game in the vane like Zelda, or Infamous, or what have you. The other thing I was not thinking, or really aware of is that Death is not the Reaper. He brings death, and can summon the Reaper, but it is not the same entitiy in the game at all times. He can assume the form of Death, or rather his true form which is close to the reaper, but not exactly.

Darksiders II has been in my head now for a couple of days since I have had the opportunity to play it for extended periods over the last few nights, and I want to find out what happens. I am invested in the story at this point, but with Borderlands 2 staring at me since yesterday (I ordered it from Best Buy, and I didn't pay for the same day shipping) it's going to be hard. I know that Borderlands 2 is about guns, and wasting people, but a funny game is always something I rather enjoy. I want to play it just so I can see what the zany claptrap will do/say. He was my favorite character in the first game, and continues to be the reason for the second one.

So what's others out there spending their time on? Borderlands 2, Torchlight 2, COD/Battlefield? Or just waiting for that next best thing? I am getting swollowed up in the releases for the next few months as October 9th is the next game for me. Dishonored is the next one, and I am going to try to stop there. (Possibility of Hitman: Absolution in November though.)
