Dead Space, Wow, and 2011

So tonight, I finally beat Dead Space. Finally. It took me less than 10 hours to beat the entire game on Medium, which is in all honesty, pretty short. I’m just glad I finally finished it, and there was a crazy twist in the storyline I did not see coming. The final chapter was pretty freaky and awesome as well. Great game overall. Now I want to play it on the ‘Insane’ difficulty for some achievement points, and it was that fun. Not sure why it took me so long to finish it. I enjoyed the game.

In WoW, my main is currently 76, almost to 77. I’m just going to be leveling him the next couple weeks, maybe put in some time over the holidays and see if I can’t hit 80 before the end of the year.

Next year is shaping up to be a much better year than 2010 was. This year started off really well with Mass Effect 2, Read Dead Redemption, and a few other top titles. But this fall sucked. Call of Duty: Black Ops (nothing new), Dead Rising 2 (average game), Fallout: New Vegas (Fallout 3.5), and…well that’s about it. I’m looking forward to 2011 as there are several blockbusters hitting the 360 that interest me.

Well, leave me a comment and let me know what YOU are looking forward to next year. Until next time, -SS

Update

So after my roommate got on me about not updating, I decided to write an update. Lots of things have happened lately.

First, I've been playing PC games almost exclusively. A lot of Starcraft 2, WoW, and other odd games nobody's ever heard of. Iskandir and I have been playing some 2v2 league games, and last I checked, we were 1st in our Bronze Division. We can't seem to break through to the Silver Division though. Eventually.

Another game I've been spending a lot of time with is WoW. Cataclysm came out Tuesday, and my other roommate dragged me back in with him. AppleJaxx and SugarSmaxx are a Shaman/Hunter Goblin force to be reckoned with! To go along with all the PC gaming I've been doing, I picked up a new Plantronics Gamecom 777 headset, and a Razer Naga Mouse. I love them both. The headset looks a little cheap and bulky, but sound quality is pretty stunning, with excellent bass. The mouse is everything I hoped for, and makes playing MMO's much more enjoyable, and easier. Not sure why more havn't come out with a similar design.

I also picked up the blockbuster Call of Duty: Black Ops, and have been playing a little bit of multi-player in that. While it's fun and accurate, it seems like Modern Warfare 2.2. If you've played the original Modern Warfare, you've pretty much played Black Ops. (From the multi-player aspect, anyway)

With the holidays coming up, I expect to be all over my 360, as my gaming PC won't be traveling with me. I plan to play some Kinect with the family, Black Ops, maybe some NHL 11. But the big thing I want to do is work on that huge backlog of games I have to finish. I read an article that basically went over how few games are actually finished. I need to rectify that and complete some games. Games at the top of my list are:

1. Dead Space

2. Mass Effect 2

3. Prey (yea, a launch title)

But that's about all I REALLY want to finish, I can't set my goals too lofty after all. Dead Space and Prey are close to being finished, but I still have a ways to go in ME2. I want to finish it before ME3 comes out.

So that's all I've got. Keep an eye peeled for more updates soon!
