So we beat this 100% last weekend. That included going through each level multiple times as different characters. I highly recommend this game to anyone with a Wii U.

i finished Far Cry over the christmas break and promptly started (and completed) Bioshock Infinite. both were great though i'm beginning to lose interest in games with linear gameplay. it's tolerable for a series like Bioshock which has always had a great narrative and beautiful set design, but i don't think it's something that can hold my interest for much longer. the next Bioshock needs to be a sandbox game.

now playing: Assassins Creed Black Flag.

Yeah the games pretty awesome. Some of the later Wrestlemania matches are wicked hard(if you want to get all the unlockables.)

Just finished AC IV. Probably my favorite of the series (maybe tied with AC 2). The naval battles never cease to be fun in this game.

Finally starting Assasin's Creed 4. I hope it is much better than 3.

Thinking about getting into the AC series, so trying to find the first one for dirt cheap.

Really, you should just skip the first AC and read a plot summary and just start with AC II. The first one, while not a bad game, becomes such a slog to play because of its repetitive nature. Nearly everything in AC 1 is improved exponentially by AC II. I don't recommend just blasting through all of them at once either. Last year I played AC II, Brotherhood, Revelations, and III back to back and found it really hard to get into III because I was getting so sick of the formula and "starting from scratch" with each new game. A year later though, I really enjoyed IV.

yeah the first AC isn't really necessary. VERY repetitive.

i still need to play Brotherhood and Revelations. i sorta forgot to play them at the time.

Brotherhood is really good. Revelations is just ok. A much more serious Ezio kinda takes a lot of the fun out of Revelations. Plus, nothing is actually revealed.

the first one burned me out on the concept so much so that I don't care how good you guys say any of the games are now, I have zero desire to ever pick up an Assassin's Creed

I'm lukewarm on the series. I hear IV is really good so I'm excited to try it out, but the gameplay is not well designed and can feel monotonous at times. The whole climbing up on things automatically without hitting anything other than the run button is a broken system.

I've heard that about the first AC, but I was able to get it for $7. I've got so much else to play that the Ezio trilogy will be cheaper when I finally get to it.

I haven't played a Need for Speed game in a long time, but the new one (Rivals) is gorgeous on Xbox One and is a lot of fun.

I really like how Assasin's Creed IV gets right into the action.

I'm so bored of console gaming. I've turned my 360 on maybe 3x since I got my 3DS about 6 weeks ago and I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

Maybe the portable games are more fitting for my lifestyle right now but I'm just bored to no end when I attempt to get into a 360 game at the moment.

I was expecting to love Sleeping Dogs (the free games for gold game this month) and turned it off within 20 minutes.

The 3DS turned out to be an absolutely killer machine. Tons of awesome games out for it now.

Now that I'm deep into the game, I'm starting to see how ludicrous it is that I got Skyrim: LE for $25.
