  Busy with assignments. Sorry.

  Haven't got time to blog for the time being, I'm in my fifth semester so assignments are piling up as I type this blog entry. Haven't got time for gaming either, but I'm saving up for Warhead. (Though I doubt I can play it till late October)

  Just found out GTA IV is coming to pc. Yay. Can't say i'm surprised. I remembered Biggest Loser raving in the forums weeks ago about how it's not coming to the pc.

  Take that.
  

  I won't be blogging enthusiastically at the moment. I'll be back foruming actively, perhaps by October.

  Just an update. See you guys sometime soon.

  I'll give it another try...

  When I bought my XFX 8800GTS sometime ago, I got a free copy of Company of Heroes, and experimented it on my then new graphics card. The first few levels of the campaign were very good, and I find myself hooked. But as the game progresses, it got frustratingly difficult, and the fact that I haven't been playing any RTS games for quite some time definitely did not help. (My last RTS was Age of Mythology, which was ages ago)

  I tried, and tried, harder each time, but to no avail. The frustration got to me......and I uninstalled the game. (I got it for free I don't care if I finish it or not lol)

  Yesterday I installed the game again, with hope that it'll be different this time around.

  I almost forgot how enjoyable this game was, how compelling the presentation was, and how hectic the battles were.

  And how freaking hard it was.......and it still is.

  Massive praise for Mass Effect.

  Everything that Bioware churn out is gold. Mass Effect is a perfect example of how an RPG should be done. Nice combat, graphics, score, voice acting and most importantly, for an RPG, an engaging storyline that is sublimely written.

  I've never played a game where I felt so much pressure in making decisions. It really felt like the fate of humanity is in my hands, and after completing it, I noticed that this is the first game where I truly feel like a hero. I made the right choices, and got an ending that is satisfying, very satisfying. Complimented my earlier actions. I spent my month-old allowance money to get this gem, and I feel that it's worth all that trouble getting a copy.

  It felt like watching Star Wars Episode 6. A fitting end to a marvelous game.

  This game made me miss Knights of the Old Republic by the way. Might be replaying it soon...hehe. If I can find the game's box case.
