Yo, yo, yo, S L I to the C to the E to the D, representing the GAMING, what up beeeyatch?!
Yes, I watch Breaking Bad. It's a killer show, and it should be in Australia already dammit. Jesus. Shit. It's the bomb, yo!
In other news, Alpha Protocol was sitting on my desk all week, untouched.. I feel so bad that I did not pay it the attention it deserves. It really is something else. It's the direction I wish the Splinter Cell series went in. Seriously, with all the big games that have come out in the past couple of weeks, how is the game by UBISOFT MONTREAL THE WORST GAME OUT OF THE LOT? SERIOUSLY! I WANT ANSWERS!
Ubisoft release this piece of crap they call Prince of Persia, completely rushed in time for the movie, and it's bugged to hell. It has a major glitch that resets all your experience and skill progression back to ZERO every time you turn your Xbox off. It's pathetic how it could have passed the testing stages with such an ABSOLUTE ERROR in the coding. Let's hope there's a patch in the next couple of weeks, or it could hinder my expectations of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (which could be a good thing, as my expectations are extremely high..)
So anyway, I threw in Alpha Protocol this morning and I was not disappointed. The game is laid out extremely well, every mission makes you feel like you're a secret agent, you can act differently in every conversation you have, and this leads to different results and opinions formed towards you. It's like Mass Effect meets Splinter Cell, without the over-the-top ZOMG LETS BOMB WASHINGTON theme. I am enthralled by this game and hope that it takes a while to finish. There is good incentive to play through it more than once as well, as there are different classes with different perks, and you can become loyal and betray different people throughout the game. The first terrorist bastard I came across who blew up a plane full of civilians.. Let's just say I didn't let him smoke another cigar. Whereas the next time I play it, I may negotiate his release on the condition that he helps me cook meth, yo.. I mean... Dammit! Jesus!
