Assassin's Creed

The best looking game I have played this year. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed for the PC is truly a marvel. This game, seems to be a combination of Ubisoft's previous works - the Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell series - and as such, has a combination of both strategy and stealth. Not to mention fun ways of killing people. ^^

The only problem I have with it so far, is that this game has a VERY repetitive nature. Which means, throughout most of the game I've played, it follows the flow of Accepting mission-> executing side quests (eavesdropping, pickpocketing and rescuing)-> and lastly, the assasination and the rewards that come with it. =/

Overall, it will still be worth your while for it's a really great looking game.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is another one of the best games I've played this year. It is the best shooter this year, and I like how it makes COD4 look like child's play (Yeah this goes out to all you people who hideout in the cc's and play cod4 - the easy game).

So, R6V2 has a solid (and longer) campaign compared to COD4. Besides, it offers a great multiplayer experience in the form of the Coop campaign, and also the superb terrorist hunts.

It also has a wide range of weapons, that are not imbalanced in any way (P90 anyone?). Gameplay is also awesome as it is not a rough out in-your-face shooter. It feels great, but you cannot play it blindly like COD4. This is where it truly shines. You have to use some brains to win this game.

Why? Because the bots are smart (especially on Realistic mode). If you lose, and you restart the mission or hunt, they do not do the same things, or be in the same places again. Nope. They learn from YOUR pattern not you from theirs like in other games. Also, do remember to Flash and Flush. ^^

And last but not least, it looks really great as well. It is the best LAN party game this year.

And just for kicks, I am replaying Final Fantasy XII. LoL. It was released 2 years ago around the time I was having SPM. As such, I can't seem to really remember the story. I think it was because I chucked it aside for those post SPM parties. XD
