New from Origina1Penguin
"Wait a minute," you may be thinking, "Where's the new and upcoming releases?" Well, obviously not here. I don't like reporting inaccurate release dates, and I seem to have trouble finding reliable dates. Plus, it is not really relevant enough to what I'm doing here with the Weekly Feed. So, unless there's much outcry for it to come back (I doubt it), it is history. You may also notice some new formatting. I'm not sure I will keep the reviews format exactly this way, but I will keep the games grouped somehow. I'll think about adding something new to make up for lost content.I played a bit of Stacking and I'm really loving it so far. I thought it would be easier to find all solutions but it was a pleasant surprise to find out how complex some are. I bought Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood yesterday, but I doubt I'll be playing it anytime soon (I have a huge backlog building up). I'm a bit disappointed with how incredible unproductive I was this week, so next week I'm going to try to make up for it.
As usual, please comment and/or give suggestions. What do you want more from the Weekly Feed? Is there anything you don't like? Would like more blogs from me during the week? What would you like to see for the next contest?
