Since last I posted, I've passed Dead Space on Impossible (my ***) difficulty, Max Payne 3, and Halo 3. All great games, but I think I need to talk about Max Payne 3 for a bit. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes action and great story. I really enjoyed the hell out of it. The action is awesome, the story telling is amazing, the voice acting is spot on, and the music is great. Nothing too memorable in the music department, but it really sets the mood and gets you pumped in the moment. The story was very interesting, characters you didn't expect much out of were important down the line, the twists and turns, and the symbolism really did this game justice as a Max Payne game. It wasn't just mindless random action. And if that's not enough, the online multiplayer is very unique and way better than I thought it'd be. It's fresh and just lots of fun.
As of now, I'm playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. It's just as great as Assassin's Creed II, with some nice additions here and there, but still suffers from the same issues as past titles, sloppy gameplay mechanics. But my biggest gripe with this game is that Ubisoft tried to lengthen this game too much for its own good. Everything cost money, everything you've worked for in II was cheaply written out just so you could work for it again, and then all of the unnecessary side stuff... It's unbelievable. That alone just proves what I've been saying even further. Assassin's Creed II was too big of a game that they decided to "make" another one and lengthen the campaign with junk and experiment with a multiplayer mode just so it could warrant the 60 dollar price tag. I would of accepted a small but great campaign for just 40 bucks... But overall, I'd say it's a great game, not my favorite in the series, but whateves.
