First off, In an effort to record my thought's on whatever happens to be going on in regards to what I've been playing ( and to share it with someone ) I have turned to you fair viewer to read and perhaps criticize my lack of writing skill, without further ado, Welcome to my blog! ( Also SPOILERS! )

Spec Ops: The Line - Having just beat this it's fairly fresh in my mind, it's one of the better story driven shooters I've played in the past couple of years. Yes it is a fairly generic third person shooter, but hey if it ain't broke don't fix it, right? By the end of Spec Ops I'd built a relationship with Captain Martin Walker, having seen, and often caused, the things that he had seen through the course of the game. Overall I really enjoyed it, I've always been a fan of post apocalyptic situations and the way that people are forced to adapt to the situation, sometimes by compromising there ideals. Or in this case going bonkers and shooting up your own country men.

Skyrim - I stopped playing sometime in January after putting in over 150 hours on a single character, the release of Dawnguard prompted my return to the world of Skyrim. The game continues to amaze me, I'm still finding caves and tombs that I never encountered on my first adventures. Dragons are still real cool. Dawnguard is something else though, I played from the perspective of the Dawnguard, which I somewhat regret having watched the quick look of Brad playing as a vampire lord. My one big question is that did Dawnguard add more dungeons and locations to the world? I would have sworn I had hit every single dungeon in the world apparently not!

Mass Effect 3 - I'll only touch on this briefly since I feel this particular horse has been ridden to death, brought back to life, than ridden to death once more. I played the Extended Cut stuff and am pretty pleased with the scenes that they've added ( for reference I destroyed the Reapers.) The ending for the game still saddens me, I've played through the entire trilogy and i'll never be able to shake the feeling that there was a major change in where Bioware wanted the story to end up. To me the tones of Mass Effect are sacrifice, teamwork, and overcoming overwhelming odds. not relying on some greater being to say "oh here's your options." It just doesn't seem to fit with what they started with. I look forward and am optimistic for the next installment in the Mass Effect franchise.

And so here is the end of the first of hopefully many blogs, feel free to comment on any of the above topics! Or feel free to rage to your hearts content at my undoubtedly poor writing. Regardless of what you do if you've made it this far I thank you for giving me some time out of your day
