Im not really sure where to start this blog as ive not really done anything in the last week or so that i havent already talked about before, so i got thinking about how i have viewed this last year and more spefically how i have viewed it in terms of games what were my highs what were my lows and what do i consider to be the GAME OF THE YEAR?
It has been an ok year that would be my overall view of it some good games some not so good, MW2 came along and scared some of the other fish out of the sea so in the end i cant help thinking that the year could have been a lot more than it turned out to be. That said there were still some great moments and some games that i really enjoyed so in reverse order here are my top 5 games of 2009.
5. "Resident Evil 5"
Having been a resident evil fan for as long as i remember this was kinda a no brainer i know some people have said its not scary and theres no zombies and all that other shit that makes me realise that if people like that made games we would still be playing the same shit we were 15 years ago change happens deal with it. I found it to be a lot of fun even if it was fairly mindless but coop is always great it had a good story and was wrapped up in stunning graphics this was most certainly an early year treat.
4. Shadow Complex
Shadow complex is a xbox arcade game and its better than a lot of in store releases this game is fucking great think metroid old school style with terrorist and a lead guy whos both Jack Bauer and Drake from uncharted rolled into one, Great fun at a low price a must download.
3. Left 4 Dead 2
If you think this game came out to soon after the orignal your right but that doesnt mean that its not brilliant loads of new features 5 news campaigns loads of new modes and the same fun with your mates from the first theres nothing here not to love. The first time a plan comes off perfectly in versus mode will make the cost of this game disapear pure enjoyment that you will replay loads. Also Ellis is one of the best caracters in a game for a long time funny as hell and with a high pitched girly scream to destroy your ear drums to that motherfucker keeps on giving.
2. Assassins Creed 2
Most improved sequal ever fact! I began writing this blog thinking this was my game of the year until something else came back into my mind however this is the most fun you can have with yourself without picures of megan fox this xmas its amazing and has a story thats longer than most games out there lots of bang for you buck with this title.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!
1. Batman Arkham Asylum
This is my game of the year even though i think Assassins Creed 2 is better but i think this deserves it for a few reasons firstly it shows that good comic games can be made and dont need to be quick cashins it has a really deep understanding of the batman universe and refrences almost everything locations villians everything no stone left unturned and its a amazing game which is only let down by some poor boss fights. A special mention must however be made for the voice acting which is second to none its brilliant Mark Hamil is there definitve Joker none of this Heath Ledger shit that bandwagon has moved on quicker than blaming George Bush for everything (I say he did a good job!)
Anyway thats it blog over go have a good xmas i know its been a shit read i had fuck all to write about so i dont want no shit.
Now fuck off and have a good xmas comments are welcomed and buy some Little big Planet dlc Sackboy has expenisve habbits and you dont want him to go feral on your asses and mug you on new years day!

Its Christmas eve and ive only wrapped two fucking presents!
Merry fucking christmas how is everyone in internet land today? Ive been a busy guy and yet again ive neglected the blog but my new years resolution will be to update more often promise.
Game wise these last couple of weeks have been mega busy for me and ive been though a range of emotions brought on by games love, obsession, disapointment and hate.
First on to love and obsession these two emotions are mostly centred around assassins creed 2. I wasnt to excited about this game before it came out due to the first one being about as intresting as licking dog shit off your carpet and twice as repertive, but and this is a big but the sequal is astounding not so much licking dog shit off the carpet but licking Megan foxs carpet which im certain is nice and tidy. The general story of the game is following on from the first and is rather confusing so if you havent played the first id read the story on wikipedia or something first, the game has moved from the middle east to italy during the renassance and follows ezio the main characters progresion from cocky prick to cocky master assassin who you forgive for being cocky because hes hard as fucking nails and follow him on his tail of revenge in the past to find clues in the future like i said confusing. This could be the perfect sequal all the bad points from the first have been addressed head on the missions are no longer so dull you would rather go to work and do a double shift for free at a westlife concert insted of picking another dumb as fuck npcs pocket there varied and interesting (except the flying mission which drove me insane). There are now loads and loads of side missions taking the forms of assaination missions which are better than any that the first game had you perform to beating up unfaithful husbands and delivering letters which while not sounding fun are pretty good and best of all totally optional. The game also features an good idea where you can invest in a small city which serves as your base of operations which will bring you a steady income in and allow you to buy weapons and upgrades at reduced prices, speaking of weapons theres loads of them which lots of different counter kills and uses so expermenting becomes a big part of combat which is tricky at first but with practice you will be destroying city guards in no time and really goes a long way to make you feel like a master assassin. There really are not any huge negative parts to this game and nothing game breaking sure ezio sometimes decides to jump when he sound climb but its normally due to an error from the player that the game. I cannot recommend this game highly enough if your in two minds about buying it i say go for it im certain you will enjoy it.
Disapointment and hate came in the form of the saboteur this month which after wooing me with promises of being GTA 4 in ww2 liberating paris from those cheeky nazis only gave me a irish main caracter with a questionble accent foul mouth and animation that makes him run like hes shit his pants. I have to admit ive not given this game much more than an hour or twos play and its certainly to early to judge it to harshly because it could turn out to be great but rite now im skeptical its on the play when i have more time pile for now.
On a quick note i need to comment on Call of dutys mw2s fucking wank spawning system online how hard is it to make a spawning system that works? Im personally growing tired of dying then spawning round the coner with my back to the guy who just blew my brains all over the wall, call me old fasioned but if then other teams in one area of the map is it to much to ask to be spawned away from them? Needs a patch i reckon hopefully theres one in the works.
On a really sad note ive lost my 8 inch sackboy toy so if anyone sees him send him home we all miss him here.
Lastly ive played the Bayonetta demo this month and didnt really expect to much from this game but really enjoyed it so much so i pre ordered it too. I expected devil may cry with a woman and was rite but it feels far more fluid and slighty easier to get into and with any luck it wont end up being a repertive pecie of shit like DMC4, Its just a shame they have rated it 18 with a 15 rating it could have been the game of choice for horny lads goin though puberty to wank themsevles dry to i cant help think the developers would have made much more money had this key demographic been able to buy the game without having to get there parents involved.
Anyway hope you have enjoyed the read this time any comments are welcome even if you want to call me a cunt and in the imortal words of sean from the saboteur top of the fucking morning cunts!
Merry Christmas
