    @RagingLion: well, I did like Black&White back then, when I played it. I had lot's of fun, and marveled about all the ideas Lionhead poured into it. But there were some fautls in the design, and I think that there was to much hype about the game beforehand, that left me dissapointed, when I finished the game. From all the games in this list, B&W would be one of the last ...

Anyway, yesterday was my day off, and I tried "Shadow Complex" ...and immediatly bought it. I was intrigued by the trailers I saw, but playing it is just pure fun. I am exploring every crook and corner and trying to get all the upgrades. I like how you're very vulnerable in the beginning, have to tread carefully ...but slow and steady get better and more lethal. At the moment, I like dashing around in hypersonic-mode, smashing through walls, crates and people alike :) 
 
Allthough I already spent about 6 hours with the game, I am not fnished yet. But I can't wait to get back to playing ...  
 
This could very well be one of the most awesome games this year ..something I didn't expect. I like this kind of surprises. 
 
Happy gaming :)

So, couple months ago I gave my copy of L4D to a friend, as I had no Xbox back then. When I got my Xbox back, I asked for the game ...but this friend of mine enjoyed the game so much, he pretended to have no time to meet me, or when we did, he always forgot about it. And we laughed about it. A bit.  
But today, I went up to his appartement and got the game back and ordered him to buy his own copy, so we could play together. 
 
I got a little tired of BF1943 lately, as I happen to play with the dumbest people in the shittiest teams. Where after a couple of minutes the enemis happens to capture all bases, and what ever you try to, you just can't win anything back, and usually you die within seconds of your respawn. I don't know why, but I lost the last 10 games I played, so I am kind of fed up with it. 
 
So, anyway ... as I got L4D back today, and there is this new map coming up, I had to play it again today. Just to get a feeling for it. Find out if I still like it ... 
and boy was that awesome. Played it 3 times, had lots of fun. Even got 2 achievements.... and it always feels good, to get an achievement ;) 
I am really looking forward to spending hours and tens of hours with this game. 
 
In a related note: my birthday is coming up in 10 days. And as usuall I  got me a little something ... a 32" HD-TV. It should be delivered within the week, and I am really 
looking forward to my late start in the HD-era. Maybe, just maybe I can enjoy BF1943 a little more then, when I just don't have to guess, if there is an enemy approaching ;) 
 
Oh.. and as I am not posting a lot here lately,  I am just giving you a heads up on the next game I am going to buy: Batman Arkham Asylum. Of course. Everyone that played that demo, propably is getting giddy when thinking about it :) 
 
As always: happy gaming everyone!

...but there is no team in Battlefield either. 
 
Do you know the feeling, if you wanna love something/somebody, but feel like everyone is trying to put you off? 
 Well, that's the way I feel about Battlefield 1943. 
  
After playing about 12 hours, I start to hate the game. Well, not the game, because it's fun. But the people playing the game ...who are just sucking the fun for me. 
First off, I think it's save to say, that Battlefield games are Team-Games. It's about winning as a team, and more importantly to play as a team to achieve that. 
But most people playing Battlefield 1943 are playing a deathmatch-game. I often think, that they just don't get what the game is about. 
 
So not only most of them just run around firing in the air, if there is no other target in sight. But most of them do so, out of a squad. Which doesn't help the cause. I just finished a set of 3 games, where there were no (0) squads in my team.  
 
This behaviour is starting to annoy me a lot. When people just wait at the base for the plane to respawn. When they storm away, though they should help defend the flag. When they are in the gunner position in a vehicle and are either shooting trees heating up the gun, so they can't fire at enemies, when they pop up, or worse not shooting at people in our back firing at us.  
 
Another interessting question is, why no one ever uses his headset? Is there no support for it, like there is in every other game? As none of my friends are playing this game, I can't find out. Because whenever I am in a game, no one is talking or responding ..and usually you can't focus on any game because of these chatterboxes on Xbox Live. 
 
Well .. as I don't have another game at the moment I like playing as much as Battlefield 1943, I see myself going back to this abusive bitch as often as I can. But I don't like it, like I used to...

Well, I guess there is quite some recaping to be done.
For more then 3 months I had no Xbox, as something went haywire with the repair. It wasn't even MS fault, but the shop I bought the Xbox at (worse, I was an employee there back when I bought it).
Anyway about a month ago, I got a new X360 as MS couldn't repair it (or didn't want to *g*).

So the last weeks I spent playing lots of Civ Rev, and once again tried killing Bane in Puzzle Quest. I tried tons of demos aswell, as I missed quite some games since march.

Last week I bought "Kingdom under Fire: Circle of Doom" for 10 Euro. I loved "KUF: Crusaders", as I am a huge RTS-Fan. When "KuF:CoD" was released the mediocre review-scores and the fact, that it's just an Action-RPG anymore, put me off. Now for 10 Bucks I felled compelled to give it a chance. I only spend a few hours with the game so far, but it's quite entertaining. The story is a little confusing, and it's item "synthesizing"-System even more so. But you know the pleasure of hacking through legions of enemies and getting loot, and I am a bitch for that :)

What keeps me from playing is that, after 2 weeks of pondering, I finally bought "Battlefield 1943". I just love the BF-series.

Bigger news are that I switched from my X360 premium to a X360 Elite 3days ago. A friend of mine finally decided to jump the train, and get an Xbox. When he asked me aboud advice, I offered him my system for 150 Euro. As I got a new Box just recently I could do so without feeling like ripping him off.
I am planing on buying a new TV-Set within the month. I guess I am giving it to me as a birthday-present, which is looming at the end of august :)

If you're playing BF 1943 give me a shout. I am still looking for a good squad to roll with :)

That's it for now.
Happy gaming everyone!

After some phonecalls I got some new information regarding the status of my X360.
I got news that Microsoft is waiting for some parts for the repairs, and "at the moment repairs take up to 3 months"... I have no idea, if that means I'd have to wait another 3 months, or if this includes the 6, 7 weeks my 360 is gone already.

Anyway, I guess it just takes way more time, then I care... 
I wonder if that's just a problem they have around here, all of europe or even world wide.

I guess that also means I got more time to spend with Disgaea DS ;) 
As long as the 360 returns in time for Assassins Creed 2 im fine ^^

Looters will be shot (X360)

If you are a follower of the Civilization Series, which grew more complex with each iteration, you're first impression of this console-title probably is disappointment.
