My backlog continues to grow but I say keep on making games. I might have to pass up some every now and then but you can always return to them one day whenever you get the chance.
I would go with Witcher or inFamous. Portal will drop in price fairly quickly, especially with all those Steam sales. L.A. Noire is great so far but will be a slow burn for me since I'm playing with the wife. I would go for a more action type game.
It's me spending $60 on a product that I want to fully enjoy. My taste in different games keep expanding as I see my backlog grow and grow. Games don't really have that summer low moment when instead of getting sun I can stay inside and catch up. Now I work full time, have a wife and home, and barely any time to enjoy what I want. I don't like to start games and not finish them unless I absolutely don't like them.
I'm actually quite happy with the welcome back program since I do not own any of those games besides Dead Nation. Definitely getting inFamous and probably Wipeout HD. Didn't care for LBP too much.
So not much of an update this week, except for Assassins Creed Brotherhood; a game I’ve been meaning to play for quite some time and am just now getting around to playing. In short, the game has exceeded AC2 in every way so far. The inclusion of having assassins fight with you is easily the coolest thing about the series, and I’m hoping they keep it in for Revelations. Rome is huge with lots of open areas to explore. I’m less than ten hours in but already certain it’s my favorite in the series. I’m glad I took a break from AC2 since I was late on that entry as well.
That’s about all I’ve been gaming. I really hope I finish AC:B before L.A. Noirecompletely takes me over. Both are fairly long games that will take me a while to get through. Haven’t been gaming anything else; not even on my iPhone, which I’m normally playing a game or two on that. The rest of my week hasn’t been all stellar either, just been working a lot.
About finished with the 2nd season of Mad Men, which continues to be fantastic
Watched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for the first time. Really has me jazzed for my Chicago trip in a couple weeks
Decided to crack open my HTML/CSS book I’ve been meaning to read for about five months now
Still haven’t learned anything else out of that yet.
Got vacations days approved for E3 so I can sit in my game room and nerd out for the press conferences
Tell people I work with it’s for my birthday (June 8th)
That’s all I’ve got for this week. Hopefully I have more to talk about next week.
