A few things...
New Flat. Time to start buying furniture.
Played a few new games. I'm going to endeavour to do more "what makes games good". Some games deserve in depth analysis, others that I play I'll just right about 4 or 5 paragraphs about what really stands out. This is useful because some of the games I was going to go really into depth with I can hardly remember now, but the bits I do remember are pure solid gold... probably.
Expect to see (some old ones I was doing in depth but will just do a "what I remember of them") Hydrophobia, Singularity, Grey Matters, and some recent Infamous 2, Alice: madness returns.
Glad to see Duke Nukem is dying a bad death. I will never purchase anything from Gearbox again after this misogynistic tragedy. A shame, because I actually liked Borderlands.
Bit disgusted by Elizabeth's cleavage from the upcoming Bioshock Infinite. Poor, pandering sex appeal in an otherwise well rounded character is the hallmark of the underconfident designer, thinking they need tits to appeal to the lowest common denominator and up their sales. There's a reason why such bawdy crap wasn't present in the original Bioshock, these new developers are obviously floundering at such a large task. I'll probably still get it, but I really am getting fed up with this "we have a female character, better sex her up" aspect, it detracts from anotherwise good character to use her in such a way. Especially seeing as Elizabeth looks about 12...
And then there's Catwoman... That's a whole other kettle of dumbed-down laziest stereotyped fish. Actually put me off the game. Maybe it won't be so apparent in the game (but seriously? Kiss move?!) so again I blame a bad marketer.
That's about it for now!
