Longsword of Sapping
December 8, 2008My XBox 360 is getting decent use. As I said, finished Fallout 3. Also finished, since then, Bioshock (too short, lame ending sequence). I also nearly finished Assassin’s Creed, but after assassination #something I realised that while extraordinarily beautiful, this game has no gameplay whatsoever. I stopped playing.
I’m now totally into Oblivion, also by Bethesda, and I’m really enjoying it. Doesn’t look as good as the newer games, but dear lord, there’s so much to explore and do, I love it.
Next on the list is Fable II, which, sadly, is a new game so it’s 62 EUR. I’ll have to think about that.
In the meantime, where’s my torch, and where’s my Longsword of Sapping, I’m about to enter the catacombs of an abandoned fort…

Can’t believe you don’t like Assassin’s Creed anymore! I find it so cool that I recently started it for the second time. Although I won’t be playing it for a while because we got the new Prince of Persia this weekend…

You should treat Assassin’s Creed as an arcade game. It’s great in short bursts of gameplay. Don’t overdose it and you’ll be fine. It’s not your typical game with 2 evenings to finish it even though it’s possible. Repetition is not that bad if you’re a casual gamer and it seems you’re trying to absorb as much as you can since you’ve just got your console.
It’s a big mistake that game publishers do with prices of new games. Even in western Europe it seems that they cost too much (I’m from Poland so it hurts me a lot, especially with our currency getting really cheap lately) and people end up playing second hand games. If you were to play 2 or 3 games at the same time you wouldn’t be as likely to criticise them as much.
