so much

Halo 4 (single-player campaign): Short, kinda repetitive, mostly fun, extremely pretty, and great characterisation... Though parts of the plot are a little too esoteric for people who haven't read the books.

Rayman Jungle Run: Looks great, plays great, gets really freaking hard at times, and then just kinda ends... Totally worth $3. Seriously. Do it.

First hour or so of...

Call Of Duty: Black Ops: Pretty exciting, I guess... Nothing all that special yet though.

Dishonored: Boring voice acting and only passable writing... But great aesthetics and exhilarating, dynamic gameplay make-up for it.

Penny Arcade's On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3: Yes. Just, yes. I missed this so much.

Autumnal

Final haul from Steam's Autumn Sale:

  • Borderlands GOTY
  • Call Of Duty: Black Ops
  • Critter Crunch
  • Darksiders
  • Darksiders II + a bunch of DLC
  • Dishonored
  • Hotline Miami
  • Thief Gold
  • Thief II
  • Torchlight II

...All for $116.

Was really hoping to snag Spec Ops: The Line for $15, but I thought the sale was running until later today and I kinda slept-in; woke-up to find yesterday's feature sales still up, but the rest over  :(

anything to do

Approaching the midpoints of Max Payne 3 and Halo 4... Both solid titles so far; Max Payne is gorgeous, stylish, visceral, and engaging, but ventures into the truly ridiculous a little too often; Halo's a rock-solid shooter with incredible graphics for the 360 that simply drags-on at times.

Bought Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, BreakQuest: Extra Evolution, and Persona 4 Golden for Vita, as I'm almost done with Rayman Origins and none of them were on any Black Friday sale lists.

Speaking of Black Friday, I've already snagged pretty much everything Darksiders on Steam, and it cost me, like, $35. Steal. Also, can't decide what to pick for GOG's five for $10 promo :(

Cordy Sky is kinda cool, but Android 4.2 isn't coming to the Nexus S... Not that those two things have anything to do with each other.
