Wow, I just can not believe how many great games have come out the past few months. I'm still playing Dragon Age: Origins and I know that'll keep me busy for a long time to come. But then there's GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, Uncharted 2, and Modern Warfare 2. Now this week there's Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassain's Creed 2 coming out and every last one of these games have gotten phenominal reviews.
Here's a link to the Left 4 Dead 2 review from Gametrailers.com:
This is definately one of the best holiday seasons for games in years and I can't wait to dig into these titles.

Survival
I survived last week's midterms. Actually, I did really well and am damn proud of the stuff that I came away with. I think I have some potential portfolio pieces and I am very happy about that.
Since I had a few days to breathe, I got down on some Dragon Age: Origins and I don't even know how many hours I've already poured into it. I'm going to be addicted to this one for a while but, after I set it down, I'm going to pick up the Grand Theft Auto IV: Episodes from Liberty City disc. It contians both of the GTA IV expansion packs The Lost & the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.I had GTA IV but the disc got ruined the last time my 360 died. I had already finished the game but wasn't able to get The Lost & the Damned expansion when it came out. So I was really happy to hear that they decided to release a seperate disc version of the two expansions so that you don't need the original disc. Check out the GT review for more info:

Dragon Age: Origins Reviews
Dragon Age: Origins just got released today and, from what I've seen, it's getting phenomenal reviews. Gametrailers.com gave it a 9.1 out of ten, gamespot.com gave it a 9.5, and 1up.com gave it an A.
Here's the GT review:
The point is I'm totally stoked to play this game! I picked it up this morning but, due to midterms, I probably won't be able to play it until Thursday night or Friday morning. I'm planning to go with a Rogue character focused on archery because I've never made one in a game like this before and it seems like it will make for a unique experience for me.
I can't wait for Friday and I feel like it will be a great reward for making it through my midterms.
Let me get a Yay-Yay!!!!

Dragon Age: Origins "Sacred Ashes Trailer
This is the launch trailer for Dragon Age: Origins. If you haven't heard of it, it's a dungeon crawler RPG for the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 from Bioware, the makers of Baldur's Gate II, Mass Effect, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
It's coming out one week from today and if you like fantasy themes and/or dungeon crawler RPGs then this game is something you should check out. You get to create your own hero and choose their "origin", or backstory that you get to play through and then collect a party of heroes to fight off a group of monsters known as the Dark Spawn. If you've been itching for a great RPG like I have been, this may be the game we've been waiting for.
Also, the PC version of the game will include a full toolset for creating your own scenarios, including the ability to create your own cinematics and record your own dialogue. Check out this link to see it:
