Assassins Creed 2 / Mass effect 2

Two great games this month to play.
1st, Assassins Creed 2, I never got around to getting the 1st Assassins creed but the 2nd one proved quite addictive. I did worry that I might be scaring people a work with my talk of killing lots of people in renaissance Italy with hidden knives but it soon passed after showing them some of the youtube vids.
After 30-40 hours of gameplay I actually managed to get all 1000 GS for it which is a rarity for me.
360/ps3 version: good, PC version: Bad bad DRM

Mass Effect 2, I loved the 1st one so was hopeful for the 2nd and wasn’t disappointed.
The control system has been impoved and a cover system added (everything has a cover system these days), the new biotic powers are fun.
I imported by old ME1 character for extra points and all the other lovely touches (Read about them at masseffect.wikia.com) that doing so brings.

Xbox360, PS3 and PC

The demo for Batman: Arkham Asylum is now out (PSN and XBL Marketplace) and seems enjoyable enough to think about buying when it finally comes out. (Youtube Trailer)

Fighter dropping bombs on Wake Island

BattleField 1943

- 1200 MS points aka £10

Finally found something to spend some of my microsoft points on, I had been waiting for it since it was announced but the demo won me over. The demo is worth a play as at worst you should have 30 minutes of explosions and killing.
