I spent the last weekend in bed. Being sick simply sucks. I did spend some time in between my death throws to play some Bad Company 2, Mass Effect 2, and Borderlands. Is that really a surprise? Those seem to be my go to games as of late. 

Battlefield Bad Company 2 continues to impress me. The single player portion has such strong characters and takes a totally different view of war than other first person shooters. When you slow down and let the characters talk they have the same conversations I've had with other people. The characters side conversations made them appear more genuine as well as add a level of depth and believability to the game. These little additions make Bad Company 2 standout in what is an already overcrowded genre.

 
The time I had in Mass Effect 2 was all spent scanning planets. Yep. For half an hour I just scanned planets and made absolutely no progress in the story. I'm still not totally sure if this is a good thing or not, but it does prove I have OCD when it comes to RPGs. In any other genre I'm not nearly as anal. I swear.

As always, I love any time I spend in Borderlands. The game is incredible. I love the writing and overall tone of the game. I fought Shank and found a CL4P-TP in the DLC.  
 
The whole time I spent exploring the prison about had me laughing. I can't wait to play it again.

I just received and email stating my copy of Final Fantasy XIII shipped today. Hopefully I'll find some time to play it, but I doubt it as I'm working from now until I fly into Tucson and I still need to finish my best man toast for the reception.

 
I need to get some studying done.    

 
Have a great day and I'll see you online.
