The addiction that is Skyrim
Even though I said to myself I won't be getting Skyrim at least until next year as I have Dragon Age Origin and Fallout New Vegas to play, I got very disappointed with Modern Warfare 3 so decided to trade it in for Skyrim. I must have played it for over 200 hours and found it as one of most relaxing games I ever played. I even managed to get 1000/1000 achievements on it. Of course, there things that could have been better but all in all the game is top notch. Even if you don't like RPGs you must get in the right mindset and give this game a chance.

Busy
Wow it's busy (gaming-wise) at the moment!
First of all Gears 3 is just great. Whatever game I play it doesn't go long before I need to get back to Gears 3.
I pre-ordered Battlefield 3 (limited edition so I can get Back to Karkand DLC free). I finished the single player in about 5 days (hard difficulty) and hunted some achievements afterwards. As far as single player is concerned that is it. I don't think they nailed the single player yet. However multi-player will definitely keep me busy for many many months. Bit different to BC2 (can't make myself say better, even thought there are many additions on BF3). BF2 MP was just great, especially Vietnam DLC and BF3 is great on its own right too.
I also got Modern Warfare 3 on the day of the release. This game turned out to be a disappointment for me. It is the first COD game (and I played them all from COD 2 onwards) that I just could not find any enjoyment at playing the campaign. I think they have not changed it sufficiently enough to make it feel fresh for us that played previous Modern Warfare games. MP is not much different either but still feels fresher than SP. Obviously they have invested more time on the MP than SP. Can't say that for the COD Elite though. What a disgrace. Millions of gamers buy every COD game and Activision comes up with excuses that they did not expect so many users. Hopefully they will have fixed it by the time anyone reads this post.
Today I got Skyrim and Halo CE is on its way. Add Forza 4 to this plus several AAA oldies I'm yet to finish on my shelf and you can see why this post was titled busy ;).
