I loved the story of Ezio Auditore da Firenze and am not at all sad to say that I have Brotherhood and Revelations to further enjoy Ezio’s adventures. I found the controls to be tighter than my limited tine playing as Altair in Assassin’s Creed I. In everyday life, heights and I are incompatible. So I expected to run into issues playing the game knowing I’d be balancing on the top of a cross on a church steeple but the heights and dizzying views never got to me. However, they do get to me when Hubby is playing and is spinning around like a madman. I can only assume it has something to do with not being in control of the character. I will admit I wish it were possible to capture screenshots on the 360 without resorting to using my cellphone which is just immersion breaking and honestly I forget. Thankfully that issue will disappear on the One and next generation games. Until then dear readers, you are stuck with stock photos.

XBox 360: Recent Titles

6:37 AM Tukiyooo 0

The last several days I haven't really been interested in any game installed on our computers. I think I'm burned out or flat out bored with the endless grind that mmo's have determined is the best, aka only, way to keep the attention of their players. I've fired up the Xbox the last couple of days and have been enjoying the heck out of myself, but of course the completion addict in me is also compelled to clean-up some achievements I have uncompleted on several games. I've also tried and fell in love, a couple of games we've had for ages but I never tried. <div class="separator"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://soyunjugon.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/090204_red_dead_redemption_02.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="511" src="http://soyunjugon.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/090204_red_dead_redemption_02.jpg" width="900"></a></div> <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Red-Dead-Redemption/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025454082b" target="_blank">Red Dead Redemption</a> by Rockstar Games is one of those titles. Hubby bought it when the tiled hit the On Demand menu on our 360. I always thought the game was beautiful but shooters and I generally, in the past, have had a disgruntled history. I have loved the story in games like Bioshock and Halo but the shooter aspect was always meh. However, apparently, in the last couple of years I think I've gotten over my meh block to shooter games or I'm just suddenly in the mood to play the stories and the shooter aspect doesn't bother me right now. The story in Red Dead is the weakest of all the games I'm flitting thought right now but the environment is stunning. Sunrises and sunsets are nearly as brilliant as they are through our family room window. The weather in the game is really caught stunning. The thunderstorm mechanic in game is enough to make me find a safe spot in game and listen to the weather. The puddles, the dark atmosphere, and light effects are just fabulous. <div class="separator" style="text-align: center; clear: both"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em" href="http://www.geekbox.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/assassins_creed_3-HD.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="510" src="http://www.geekbox.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/assassins_creed_3-HD.jpg" width="900"></a></div> <a href="http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-gb/home/index.aspx" target="_blank">Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag</a> definitely caught my attention at this Year's E3 last week and thus I decided to put <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Assassins-Creed-III/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802555308ae" target="_blank">Assassin's Creed III</a> at the top of the Gamefly queue. Game arrived and as soon as it fired up, it had my full and complete attention. The story grabbed me and held my attention. I played through the first mission in London and have made it through the first tavern mission in Boston. However, I have decided to go back and catch up on the games I missed in the past. Hubby played through <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Assassins-Creed/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802555307d4?cid=search" target="_blank">Assassin's Creed</a> when it was released and I watched while stitching next to him (not uncommon here). I tried the original game but it didn't capture my imagination. When Assassin's Creed II was released hubby tried that game too. I thought it was beautiful and the characters much more engaging, however the dialogue drove hubby batty and neither of us finished the game. So when <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Assassins-Creed-Brotherhood/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025553085d?cid=search" target="_blank">Brotherhood</a> and <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Assassins-Creed-Revelations/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80255530879?cid=search" target="_blank">Revelations</a> were released we basically ignored the games and played other things. Well, no longer will the Assassin's Creed franchise be ignored. I will go back and play through the titles I missed, ok maybe not the first one, before I pick up and finish III or start IV. Assassin's Creed II will be available for Xbox Live Gold Members for free next month and then I will be playing through it eagerly. Revelations is download and waiting, although I admit I played through some of it yesterday. The game is beautiful and has my attention. <a href="http://capcomvancouver.com/" target="_blank">Dead Rising 3</a> also caught my attention at E3 this year. Gamefly delivered Dead Rising 2 Saturday as well. Five minutes of the overly color saturated game completely failed to grasp my interest or attention. To be honest, first impression of the game reminded me of World of Warcraft style console game because of the color saturation and graphic style. Needless to say, this style of Dead Rising game doesn't have my attention and so I will wait for more information by Dead Rising 3 before committing to the new game. <a><img height="509" src="http://www.bestvideogamesevermade.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Halo3.jpg" width="900"></a> Halo 5 caught my attention as well, mainly because I haven't a clue as to why Masterchief has a cracked mask on his helmet. I need to know what happened in <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Halo-4/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d530919" target="_blank">Halo 4</a>! . I put in <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-us/product/halo-3/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5307e6" target="_blank">Halo 3</a> and then hubby reminded me that I watched him play it to completion. I vaguely remember the story so I decided to give it a go and thus I fired it up. The controls and my shooter skills are never great match and so I set the game to casual. Then I realized that the fine folks over at Bungee won't give achievement points to those of us who play games for the story and not our "skills" at a shooter. I will watch hubby play through Halo 4 rather than frustrate the achievement whore (I admit it) in me by not getting credit for playing the game. I am enjoying giving the 360 a spin while it is in triple digits outside. I am eagerly looking forward to the delivery of the <a href="http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/html/pbPage.PDP/productID.282124000?tid=K1Y5ZebN&cid=5250&pcrid=2930343337&pkw=the%20xbox%20one&pmt=p&WT.srch=1&WT.mc_id=pointitsem_Microsoft+US_bing_5+-+Xbox+NEW&WT.term=the%20xbox%20one&WT.campaign=5+-+Xbox+NEW&WT.content=K1Y5ZebN&WT.source=bing&WT.medium=cpc" target="_blank">Xbox One</a> this November and I can't wait to fire up <a href="https://joinprojectspark.com/" target="_blank">Project Spark</a> for the first time and <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/11/zoo-tycoon-announced-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-360/" target="_blank">Zoo Tycoon</a>. <div id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:80b12851-f007-4aba-be36-ddacb7037d7a" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" style="float: none; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Xbox+360" rel="tag">Xbox 360</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Xbox+One" rel="tag">Xbox One</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Halo" rel="tag">Halo</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Halo+3" rel="tag">Halo 3</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Halo+4" rel="tag">Halo 4</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/5" rel="tag">5</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Assassin's+Creed+4%3a+Black+Flag" rel="tag">Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Assassin's+Creed" rel="tag">Assassin's Creed</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Assassin's+Creed+II" rel="tag">Assassin's Creed II</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Assassin's+Creed+Brotherhood" rel="tag">Assassin's Creed Brotherhood</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Assassin's+Creed+Revelations" rel="tag">Assassin's Creed Revelations</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Dead+Rising+3" rel="tag">Dead Rising 3</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Dead+Rising+2" rel="tag">Dead Rising 2</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Zoo+Tycoon" rel="tag">Zoo Tycoon</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Project+Spark" rel="tag">Project Spark</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Red+Dead+Remeption" rel="tag">Red Dead Remeption</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Rockstar+Games" rel="tag">Rockstar Games</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Bioshock" rel="tag">Bioshock</a></div>

console gaming Xbox XBox 360 Xbox One XBox 360: Recent Titles

The last several days I haven't really been interested in any game installed on our computers. I think I'm burned out or flat out bored with the endless grind that mmo's have determined is the best, aka only, way to keep the attention of their player…

E3: Preview Day Impressions

<img height="362" src="http://zapt4.staticworld.net/images/article/2013/06/project_spark_screen_shot_19-100041257-large.png" width="800"> Firstly, congratulations to EA for being the only presentation out of the four to start on time.  Seriously, being punctual isn’t that difficult and there is zero excuse for Sony’s presentation starting twenty minutes late! Microsoft presentation was by far the smoothest and most comprehensive one of the day.  There were no glitches, no background audio disturbances, and no incredibly annoying “hostess” (Aisha Tyler for Ubisoft) trying and failing to make bad jokes and sexual innuendoes every where she thought they might succeed.  Several games exclusive to the XBox One have my full and complete undivided attention: Ryse, Son of Rome, Project Spark, Dead Rising 3, and Quantum Break.  I am very much looking forward to using Smart Glass integration with console gaming.  It is also a huge hit here that it is an all-in-one comprehensive entertainment box that will allow us for the first time to ditch the cable box for good.  EA presentation was informative, fast paced, fun, and showed off great game play while talking about technical advances.  Dragon Age III has my attention from EA, which was expected.  But quite a few things at the EA event looked interesting as well.  That brief teaser for a new Star Wars: Battlefront game had me drooling with anticipation.  Plants v. Zombies: Garden Warfare and Titanfall are both intriguing for very different reasons and I will undoubtedly play both. UbiSoft conference was just awful.  It was more about Aisha than the games unfortunately, because Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag looks amazing and Tom Clancy’s The Division looks like it is definitely worth delving into.  South Park: The Stick of Truth will satisfy the nine-year old in all of us and I admit, I too will be playing it come this holiday season.  Watchdogs looks beautiful but the story premise may actually be a little too close to recent events to be enjoyable.  Sony’s press conference was embarrassing.  Sony’s persistent need to troll Microsoft only showed their fear of being outclassed by the XBox One and their presentation was amateurish.  Oh I understand they wanted to solidify their fan base from being tempted away to the XBox One but unnamed insults and mentions were in extremely poor taste.  I am also stunned that anyone is naive enough to believe Sony’s claims that they are not going to have digital rights management on their games.  Please remember, Sony is the gaming corporation that was vulnerable to hackers and left millions of peoples personal information fall into the wrong hands.  Only The Dark Sorcerer looked at all interesting or compelling for games on the new console.  The other games presented were completely unappealing and uninspiring.  Sony and their game developers broke no new ground with any game presented last night as an exclusive. Preview day presented some nice new titles to look forward to, existing titles expanding their franchises, and hardware that will make it all possible. <div id="scid:0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:a85a05d0-bf04-47f7-8065-55b0f420c947" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent" style="float: none; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px">Technorati Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Xbox+One" rel="tag">Xbox One</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/PlayStation+4" rel="tag">PlayStation 4</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Microsoft" rel="tag">Microsoft</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Sony" rel="tag">Sony</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/EA" rel="tag">EA</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Electronic+Arts" rel="tag">Electronic Arts</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Ubisoft" rel="tag">Ubisoft</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Aisha+Tyler" rel="tag">Aisha Tyler</a>,<a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Plants+v.+Zombies%3a+Garden+Warfare" rel="tag">Plants v.
