The Gaming Experiment

One of the first week's that I was doing The Experiment, I was able to finish Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction. I recently picked up the second R&C game on the PS3.

A Crack In Time continues the story from the first game, and also the downloadable 'episode' A Quest For Booty. I really enjoyed the first R&C game, and I have a feeling that I will really love this one too! The weapons have always been a strong point of the series, and it seems like this outing doesn't disappoint.

What's your favorite R&C weapon? Mine is the Groovatron!

I think I might be addicted to buying games. It especially doesnt help that when there is a good deal, I am a sucker for it! This week Steam has been having some really amazing deals on PC games. I was able to pick up a couple.

First was Trine, it's an adventure game in the vain of Lost Vikings. It is normally $20, but for a day, it was half price. There is also a PS3 version.

The second game was a Lucasarts game called Lucidity. Honestly, I've heard very little about this game, but for $2.49, I couldn't pass it up!

Check Out Steam for their deals this week! Let me know what games you guys will be picking up!

Yeah, I know, it's been a while since I've updated what i've added to my pile of games, so this week you'll see a lot of catch up.

I think that I'll start off this first post with a game that I've been playing lately, Assassin's Creed 2. It's obviously a sequel to the 2007 hit Assassin's Creed. Instead of taking place in the late 12th century, the sequel takes place in 15th century Italy with a new Assassin, Ezio Auditore. The reviews have been great so far, with many media outlets saying it's the Game of the Year.

I'm only about 2 hours into the game, but I am definitely enjoying the story and the gameplay is far less repetitive than the previous game. I've not liking the voice acting, their accents are a little forced and a bit grating. But the overall experience has been really positive!

Are you guys playing ACII? what do you think about it? Let me know in the comments!

I am still gaming quite a bit, with the Modern Warfare 2 as my go-to game. But yesterday in the States was Black Friday, a bargain seekers Shangri La. I hate the crowds, but on Amazon, I was able to pick up the Beatles Stereo Box Set for $100. It's a great deal from it's original price of $260.

I didn't buy anything new on the gaming front. How about you guys? We you able to wade through crowds to pick up a great deal?

Yep. Just like everyone in the free world, I bought Modern Warfare 2.

The reviews have been phenomenal.

The crazy rush of fall games is coming to a close this week, with Modern Warfare 2 tomorrow and New Super Mario Bros. Wii on Sunday. But for me, though I will be buying both, my pile still grows with games from weeks past.

When I was a kid, there was this really difficult game called A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia. I liked it, but it was hard. Well, a remake of the game was recently released on the Wii, so I had to pick it up.

I haven't been able to crack it open, and with Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank, Modern Warfare 2, and a billion other games I need to finish before the year is out, this one probably won't be played for a while.

Another game that I picked up in the Gamefly sale was Silent Hill Homecoming. I've been a fan of survival horror games since Resident Evil 2 and with Halloween coming up, I thought it would be a good addition to the library.

My Fiancee has really enjoyed the previous Silent Hill games, so hopefully we can play this one together.

With Halloween just a couple days away, what are some of your favorite scary games to play?
