I have the drawing skills of a 5 year old :)
 
Various things, I finished Max Payne yesterday and Max Payne 2 today. And I'm currently playing Unreal Gold, I love the atmosphere and music of it.

I might get Crackdown 2, the first one was enjoyable enough.

I heard the second one is basically the same as the first one but with updated graphics, it's probably not worth it judging by Metacritic reviews.

(Also notice how a lot of the magazines and sites giving it 8-9/10 are Xbox 360-based.)

I thought it was multi-platform? Definately doesn't look like it's worth my money, I can wait for Dead Rising 2.
 
I am playing Crackdown 2. It is the first one for the most part with some slight graphical improvements. It's pretty fun but I can see it getting old like Prototype. The multiplayer might be worth checking out if most people on Live were retarded 10 year olds with asses where their heads should be.
 
Ι just finished Assassin's Creed 2. Fun game, VASTLY superior to the first AC in every conceivable way, and a very good sequel overall. Not taking into account Ubisoft's retarded DRM system, of course.

I think I'll start another Alpha Protocol playthrough now. There's bound to be stuff and dialogue options that I've missed.

I actually found some aspect's of it lacking.

For starters, you can't call the Assassinations an Assassination. More like "Get-flagged-as-an-assassin-and-butcher-20-guards-before-knifing-your-target-in-a-swordfight"

You got spotted half the time instantly before you even got near the target and the ones you didn't you usually had one method to kill. The fellow you gun down on his boat shit me to no end, purely because i spent 10 minutes working my way forward to not alert his guards, only to have the game throw it in my face and make me fire a fucking hand cannon at him.

I thought the QTE's were entirely unnecessary and perhaps this is just the distance of time between playing 1 and 2, but it felt like the PC controls were tweaked somewhat. They handled a lot better in the original from memory.

Edit: Oh, and it loses points for being a fucking lazy port. They could have at least changed the fucking buttons on the QTE's. The bit as a baby where your moving your arms and shit, "Red B" doesn't help me much. Had to try recall the AC1 control scheme from two years past.

Agreed, what were Rockstar thinking when they decided to make him look like a homeless slob?

Red Dead Redemption.

I was half way done weeks ago, but I had to recover my gamertag on a new xbox 360 which erased all of my game save files. :(
 
I just finished the Secret of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge.

While it is a nice game I have the feeling that some things from the original have not been carried over to the new version.

For example; I tried to throw root beer over LeChuck, normally he would then give me some talk that root beer doesn't work on zombies, but in the new version I can never even get the chance.

I am also unable to find out anything about Rapscallion the cook, fortunate I know that puzzle but imagine how frustrating it must be for other gamers?
Unless clues can be found in the library.

I always thought Bart and Fink tell the player what happened to Rapscallion and the Steamin' Weenie.

This. You can't have a bald Max Payne in South America. It just doesn't work. He must be in New York, he must be skinny, and he must always, ALWAYS wear a leather jacket. Damn you Rockstar. Damn you.

Also, I've been playing tons of games, I think too many at once. Let's see here... Fallout 2, Half Life, Deus Ex, Star Wars Republic Commando, Star Wars KotOR II, Einhander (old PS1 game, also where I derived my name), Colony Wars (another PS1 game), Colony Wars: Vengeance (PS1 agaaain...), Raystorm (whats with all these PS1 games, you may be wondering?), and Pokemon Emerald.

Yeah, I need to focus on one certain game and finish it. :|

This is the Max Payne I’ve learnt to love…he’s a sensitive, slightly awkward, but gentle soul. I don’t know why they changed his appearance for the second game.
