I'm going to the midnight launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops tonight at my local EB Games and I'm pretty keen for it. It's not even getting the game that's that exciting, as I will likely just get home and go to bed afterwards. I just like to go out to these things and mingle with other folks excited about gaming. Sure it will be a pretty geeky affair and there will probably be at least one douchebag that thinks hes god's gift to the world of online gaming, but it should be a fun experience none the less. Anyway I thought this would be a good opportunity to start up the blog again. I haven't posted on here for a while because I haven't had a lot to talk about regarding games. My PS3 has been crapping out the last month and a half, which has limited my console gaming fairly extensively. My 360 is still functional but I don't have as many games on it and due to saving to replace my PS3, I haven't had the opportunity to buy any new games for it. 
 
However the PS3 seems to be going a little better (it's only crashing from to time to time now,  rather then every hour) and should be able to handle Black Ops,  at least until I replace the PS3 in a few weeks. 
 
Also, while my PS3 has been continuing to drag itself along as it slowly succumbs to the terminal heating issues from which it suffers, I got to bugger around with the new Red Dead Redemption DLC, Undead Nightmare. I have to say, this is easily the best DLC all year for me, I thoroughly enjoyed Lair of the Shadow Broker for ME 2 but this takes the cake for me. It's just a solid piece of content, theres heaps to do, it makes great use of the entire world of Red Dead Redemption and captures the campy horror atmosphere perfectly. It manages to feel like Red Dead while feeling like an all new game at the same time. It's not enough content to be it's own game though, it does get repetitive in parts and the story, although funny and fairly interesting, is rather thin at times. But hey, it's fun to shoot zombies, and it's even more fun to see a world you know transformed into a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested nightmare. If you own Red Dead, you should check it out. 
 
I will likely hammer through Black Ops tomorrow morning, knowing how I typically play those kinds of games, which should work out well for getting out a reasonably timely review. I feel like posting up an actual review on here for once rather then half reviewing something in my blog post. It should be up withing a couple of days, but I will see how I go, I have a terrible habit of getting halfway through writing something and then spending days procrastinating over it and rewriting what I have already written rather then just completing a draft. 
 
Well that's all I have to say today, well except that I have God of War: Ghost of Sparta and I'm having the Peace Walker problem I had where I can't seem to motivate to play my PSP, even though I really want to play the games. So I shall come back with a review of Black Ops soon, or at the very least some impressions. Also, to those who are also going to a midnight launch of the game, have a good time.
