Assassins Creed : Brotherhood

Thought I should update the blog, been very inactive lately and I apologise for this. The next game I am going to review is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, one of my favourite 2010 releases. Being a massive fan of the entire Assassin's Creed series, I of course pre-ordered the Codex Edition and had it on the release. Continuing with the story of Desmond Miles, an Assassin from the future who has to access the memories of his ancestors in order to find the pieces of Eden and ultimately save the world from the Templars. A bit of a mindfuck if you don't pay attention, but if you have managed to play through all of the previous Assassin's Creed titles, i'm sure you would understand. As in Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood takes place in the time of Ezio Auditore. However unlike in AC2, Brotherhood is set in ancient Rome. To avoid spoilers, I wont reveal the whole storyline but more just the interesting bits about it.
You now have a Brotherhood of Assassins who are there to help you as you take Rome from the control of Cesare Borgia.
As in AC2, Leonardo Da Vinci helps you along your journey except this time you have to be more discreet about meeting with him as he now works for the Borgia.
During the Stroyline you have the option to burn down Borgia towers, which releases that area from Borgia control, allowing Ezio to purchase and renovate shops or landmarks which earns you some more Florins.
With plenty of new weapons, armour and equipment designed to help Ezio in his struggle to take back Rome.
Graphics in ACB are just as beautiful as they were in AC2 and I am highly impressed with them.

Now with the new addition of the Assassins Creed series, comes the new addition of a Multiplayer. With 8 Multiplayer Maps with more free DLCs on the way, endless combinations of abilities with 5 custom profile sets available and a selection of 17 playable characters (I think). With 5 game modes so far, and i'm sure plenty more to come in future DLCs, the multiplayer is a fresh new idea which is very enjoyable. 50 Multiplayer levels and unlocking new abilities and characters the whole way to level 50, you will never run out of combinations of characters or profile abilities.
As I said earlier Assassin's Creed Brotherhood was one of, if not my favourite release of 2010 and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Was extremely tired while writing this post, so sorry if it lacks quality etc, it's probably fairly shitty, but i'm too tired to care.

Cyrsis 2 Demo

Since the release of the Multiplayer demo, i've put a good 2 or 3 hours into Crysis 2. From this time i've been able to decide that I will be buying this game. Graphics are amazing and the general gameplay is fantastic. There are only 2 game modes in the demo, Team instant action is a basic Team Deathmatch with a 50 Kill limit and Crash Site which is a capture and secure game mode. With the one map that is available in the demo (Skyline) I will assume that all the maps will be as terrific as this one. There is only a handful of guns available in the full game which is disappointing but i'm sure that wont affect the game too bad, as there are only 50 muliplayer levels. You can't really compare this game to CoD or Halo, even though there are similarities they are all entirely different in there own ways. Would definitely recommend downloading this demo (1.8 GB i'm pretty sure) if you have an Xbox 360, if not it might be worth looking into buying.

Cyrsis 2 Multiplayer Demo

As I was doing my usual chatting up multiple bitches at once on Facebook, my friend sent me an IM with the link to this video.

The Crysis 2 multiplayer demo launches for Xbox 360 (Umad PS3 + PC?) on the 25th of January. I'm not entirely sure whether the PS3 or PC players get the multiplayer demo at all, but the game releases in March 2011, so it's not a big loss i'm sure. I'm definitely downloading the demo and if I enjoy it will buy the game.
Sorry i've be inactive for awhile, there are times where I just can't be on the computer. So I apologize if I am inactive for a number of days.

Suggestions

Been running dry on TV shows and movies to watch. I'm keeping up with the new How I Met Your Mother episodes, as well as community.. but I need another kind of TV show. Not too picky on the genre, as long as its a good show and worth watching. Suggestions please?

First Strike Map Pack

A few months after its release Call of Duty: Black Ops is already set for it's first map pack. Released on the 1st of February for Xbox 360 gamers and a month later for PS3, PC and Wii. With a price tag of 1200 Microsoft points (Not sure about other consoles, I'll assume it's the same as MW2 maps packs) comes with 4 Brand new Multiplayer maps and a new zombie map. "Kowloon" From the campaign takes place on rooftops in Kowloon city. Rain and nighttime make for lower visibility and is the only map to feature a zipline. "Berlin Wall" Is a larger map with combat allowed on both sides of the wall no mans land divides the middle of the two main sides, with automatic turrets controlling no mans land. "Discovery"  Is a frozen German outpost in the arctic, another snow map. "Stadium" A close quarter run and gun favoured map. Finally the new zombie map "Ascension" takes place in a Soviet Launch Facility, with no footage or images of it as of yet. Personally I like the sound of all these maps and will definitely be buying them on the release.

My favourite show at the moment

Since it's been a couple of days since my last blog, I though I might as well update you guys with a blog on my favourite tv show at the moment. Community is basically about a lawyer whose education is deemed void by the bar and is forced to attend a Community College. Im not going to go into every little detail about the show, but in my opinion definitely worth buying the DVDs of season one, unless your a pirate.. in which case its still definitely worth looking into it. Currently into its second season with episode 12 airing on the 20th of January. The comedy in this show is hard to describe, but whatever it is, it's the funniest thing i've seen in awhile.

This video is one of the best fan made videos i've seen for anything.. Espescially because it is for my favourite episode. So thats about it, just thought i'd make a post since its been a couple of days. Just recently hit 50 followers so thanks everyone for following.

Young Hero

I don't know whether or not most people reading this would know but at the moment areas of South East Queensland (Australia) have been under serious flooding. Now obviously it is a tragedy with people losing their lives, homes and families in the floods. Out of all the tragic news, I stumbled on this story of a young 13 year old boy Jordan Rice. Jordan and his family were caught in the middle of all the flooding and when rescuers eventually showed up they could only save Jordan or his 10 year old brother. Jordan told the rescuers to save his brother, a decision which ultimately cost him his life. Now he's not going to receive some fantastic memorial or a statue made in his honour, but what he did was truly heroic and I felt as though I should share this story with anyone I can.
