So since my last post I have managed to finish two excellent games. The first was Assassins Creed:Brotherhood, a epically fantastic game that once again has me dying to play the next one.  Once again they have tweaked, fixed, and improved upon AC's gameplay to deliver an awesome experience that takes everything you love about the first two and ups it to 11! Rome is a lot of fun to run around in, the story is engaging and i like Ezio as much as i like Desmond. I was really scared that this would just be a side story and to be honest i had written it off as not worth my time, how wrong I was. If you like AC at all and are interested in the story you need to play this game as it delivers a pretty satisfying single campaign. It starts off right where the 2nd one ended and further escalates the plot while giving us more insight into the battle at hand as well as what Abstergo truly is.  I haven't even touched the multi-player and I still find this to be on of my games of the year.  All I can say is play it and make sure you get the subject 16 stuff so your mind is sufficiently blown! 
  Also finished Vanquish as well, in two sittings as it's not a very long game. I have to say as far as making video game ass video games Platinum really has the formula down. While it's not as strong as Bayonetta, Vanquish is still a lot of stylish fun and definitely feels like a Platinum game. Scores, frenetic action, style, and taking a common game design to the next level are all hallmarks of their style.  Vanquish is pretty much Gears of War on crack and then a japanese filter is placed on it. It's interesting to see western culture through the eyes of the Japanese and it's just as weird as we see them. It's definitely a game worth playing through at least once and i want to see more of Platinum has to offer as this year they have really shown their video game chops.   
  That's pretty much it, i also made my top 10 list and of course Mass Effect 2 won my GOTY.  There were a lot of pretty awesome games this year so it was actually pretty tough, hell i still have more to play but probably won't since once again first quarter is packed with solid games. Well until next week!
