Sweet. I just got Alien Hominid coz the price dropped to 400 pts. I'll add you when I get the chance.

By the way, madeye, I wanted to thank you for the PlaySwitch recommendation. I finally got around to posting Gears of War 2 on there and within a day I sold it for 43 dollars. Awesome.

so, its time for me to get the original Assassins Creed?

(I like waiting for people to be excited about an upcoming sequel before trying the original. I dont game enough for any other way!)

[Cretaceous Bob]

Well, "upcoming" in that it could be a year off.

But I am super stoked. The first game was fun as crap.

Pick it up cheap somewhere. It's a great engine and I enjoyed it as a medieval Batman simulator but it's like they forgot to put a game in there

Ugh. Ride your horse for a half-hour to this destination, scale a few identical towers to scope out the landscape, fight some generic guards, then hide in one of the babillion bales of hay scattered around the city. That whole game felt like fluff to me.

Yeah, exactly. The sequel looks like it's attempting to fix the first game's problem's though.

[rhesusattack]

I hope so, cuz I gotta say I still think the first one looks good. And I really dig the animation in that game, too.
