Picked up Lego Batman today. Having finished all 6 episodes of Lego Star Wars and having played half of Lego Indiana Jones (note to self, gotta finish this game) I thought, might as well get Batman too.

Played for about an hour so far and it’s pretty good. Same style of play as the other 2 games. Lots of old batman villains decided to show for this cool game, including and not limited to Clayface, Mr Freeze, Killer Croc.

Looking forward to playing some more.

So, it’s finally out! I’ve been waiting for this game for a LONG time now, and it’s finally out.

It’s a typical MMO, quite alot like World of Warcraft, however there are some cool differences. It’s more of a Realm vs Realm atmosphere, there are public quests and time based quests.

The graphics are quite nice, music hasn’t gotten on my nerves yet… The first disappointment for me was the fact that they nuked some classes that I wanted to play before it was even released. Second disappointment, my Macbook Pro would burn up after a few minutes of playing and then reboot… I was sure the reboots were caused by the over heating, so I tried to get it to work on my Precision… that didn’t work well… finally, after trying to make a new character, I got a blue screen relating to my video drivers… updated the drivers and now I just finished a 3 hour stretch… (though, I think I have 3rd degree burns on my leg now…)

Finally, last disappointment… iws doesn’t like it :( oh well..

So, my first character is a Chaos Magus named Gaelom on Phoenix… He’s now level 6 or such, I also have a Goblin Squig Herder named Grommmm (after Grom the Punch)

On Marienburg, I have an 8th level Witch Hunter named Malakai

As I said, I love the game, and think I’ll be playing this through most of the winter…

Now, if only we could either get Skaven, or Select Nurgle as the chaos god you worship.

So, Criterion released the latest update for Burnout Paradise… 2 free motorcycles with night time riding…

I tried them… and I don’t like them… maybe if they added actual achievements or trophies instead of simple in game achievements there would be a reason to play the bikes… other then that… they kinda suck…

Here’s hoping we get a new city for the cars.

 As as Sandman mentioned on his blog, there are tons of games out, or coming out and it’s hard to pick the ones you want, without buying them all. I picked Force Unleashed as one of the few games I’m getting this month.

So, you’re probably wondering what the heck is going through my mind… getting a Starwars game after such a bad review of Clone Wars? Well… I have to say, this game may have just saved the franchise for me.

I picked it up for the PS3 as I do find the graphics a bit better on my PS3 then on my 360.  And the graphics are stunning… Music, might as well of had John Williams write it. Game play is great… and it’s somewhat tough…

So far I’m only hunting after my 2nd Jedi, but I’m having a blast doing it.

Anyways… gotta go kill me some droids.

So, I’ve had this old apple iBook for ages and about 2 years ago, it stopped working, so I had bought a new Macbook Pro…
Well, I guess I was bored last night, so I decided to install Ubuntu on it, and now it works!

Woohoo!

So, I picked up Spore yesterday. I had picked up the Creature Creator when it came out and enjoyed it, but stopped playing with it pretty quickly.

I have to say, I’m hooked on Spore though. My first try, resulted in a creature named blurgh, go from a single cell organism, to a biped creature, to a sentient being living in tribes.

I’ll add some more details soon
