Hey fellas.
Haven't been online in a while, have a lot of things on my mind atm. Some of them game-related, since (I think I've mentioned) I work as a game/movie/music reviewer for a local game-portal, and the last 2 months of every year come with a great bunch of AAA titles, that need my attention both professionaly and for fun. Because of that Aion comes second...
Since most of your gaming time might be taken by Aion, there sure are a lot of great titles you might be missing. So here I am to fill you out with what's happening.
- Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3). F*cking game of the year! I don't own a PS3, got one from the local distributers for the review. Its an overwhelming game and perhaps one of my top 10 titles of all time. Stunning visuals, incredible characters, action and cinematography. If Lara Croft is the Queen of the action-adventure games, than Nathaniel Drake is the King. Kick-ass game, total 10/10 and GOTY, be sure to check it out if you own a PS3 or have a friend with one. Its roughly 10 hours but hase increadible multiplayer as well.
- Brutal Legend (PS3, Xbox360). Tim Schaffer is back! Jack Black rocks, the soundtrack rocks. Its a fun, witty and diverse game, mixing action, racing and RTS. If you are a rock/metal fan you'll love the story and characters. Really recomend it.
- Borderlands (PC, PS3, Xbox 360). Do you remember Hellgate London? The RPG/FPS mix from some of the Diablo guys? Well it sucked in many ways, so another attempt in this (not counting Fallout 3, it was hardly a FPS game) is Borderlands by Gearbox. Verry good game, nice cell-shading visuals, lots of weapons, 4 classes, driving and so on. I'm currently playing it, a lvl 21 hunter with Sniper/Bloodwing spec. The game has some flaws but if you are hungry for a hack and slash rpg with first-person perspective - thats the one! It also has 4 man co-op!
- Dead Space: Extraction (Wii) . I loved the first Dead Space, that came out last year. I love sci-fi horrors. The Nintendo game is a prequel to Dead Space, and offers a "rail-shooter" gameplay, mostly known from games like House of the Dead and Resident Evil - Umbrella Chronicles. Its a really great game, very atmospheric and the 2 man co-op is da shit!
So thats from me, just givin you the head-ups on what you might be missing outside the MMO genre :) I regret I can't play with you very actively, will focus on casualy leveling my char and we'll see where we can get from there. I love the game, its just that after WAR maybe I need some time off playing a lot and dedicating myself to a single title. And there are more great games to come till February - Assassin's Creed 2, Modern Warfare 2, Army of Two:40th day, Dragon Age Origins, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta and many more. Will play Aion from time to time, I still enjoy the game quite much, just gona be slooooooow.
Anyways, just wanted to give you some imput on that. Hope you enjoy the game and see you online :)

As for the job, its not primary one its my... third. Doesn't get me loads of cash but still doesn't take much time either. I mean I would play the games if it wasn't for it as well. So yeah, kind of a dream job...
