My first blog post ever. Posted on my first day back in the office from a two week vacation.
 
Main games played in this time I purchased from Gamestop using their buy two get one used game free special. I picked up Split/Second, Final Fantasy XIII, and Splinter Cell Conviction. Other games that I played are Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Gears of War 2.
 
Split Second I wrapped up in a few days. Went through all 12 seasons and played with a buddy for two races, and that was about all there was to that.
 
Next I played through the Splinter Cell Conviction campaign. Great feel to the game, and I was hooked and was able to finish it without any slow parts that dragged on. Storyline was pretty good, but prefer the story in the novel.
 
About 5 days into my vacation I started playing Final Fantasy. 35 hours in already. Game is alright. Storyline is really slow, and is pretty lame. But what has be is the game mechanics. Changing your party loadout and combining the different members of your party makes for many different combinations.
 
Had a friend rent Bad Company 2, so I was on a few nights playing with him pretty late. I still having a blast with this game, even after unlocking all the weapons.
 
Played some Gears 2 yesterday. Bought the map pack so I wouldn't be holding anyone back. It was 8x XP weekend, went from level 12 to 26 in a few hours...which is from what I hear pretty crazy.  However the endless wave of nothing but tickers was getting pretty old.
