Dishonored, Far Cry 3, and lost time

I've been busy...so busy I haven't been writing. I have been running a gamut of games, life, and emotions, I haven't had much time for writing.
No more excuses, here we go. If you haven't played it yet, buy Far Cry 3, i can pretty much guarantee that you won't be disappointed. The story is pretty simple to begin with, fun in the sun with your friends on a tropical paradise, but things turn for the worst when you and your friends are captured by bloodthirsty pirates, and I don't mean the ones with eyepatches. You soon find yourself escaping, only to be told find out that you need to save your friends, and the only way is to destroy pirates.
I have only been playing the story mode, working up slowly towards one heck of a tattoo. As you gain experience you start a tree of skills, some more deadly than others. As you choose which skills you want to use, your forearm becomes more tattooed, and you gain respect of locals and free the islands from powerful drug lords. The skills you use depend on how you want to play, and can help you with hunting, which is an essential part of the game.
You hunt for skins, which then can help build better equipment to hold ammunition, or crafted syringes. Different animals give you different items, and there is a challenge to gain a legendary beasts skin as a final upgrade.
In order to continue your revenge, you need weapons, and the locals provide you with whatever you need, as long as you have the cash. Weapons become permanently yours as you open cell towers, and complete missions. You also can upgrade certain weapons, increasing range or silencing them.
As you defeat bases, you unlock way points you can fast travel to. These have stand alone weapon caches, which you can sell miscellaneous items to to make ammo and weapon purchases.
The actual game play is almost exactly like the second with a change that helps if you are trying to get to cover, or get into stealth mode. It is a slide, that you do while running, you slide, and come up in a stealth position. It's great for sneaking up on bases, or in a gun fight getting behind cover.
The feel of the game is amazing, there are animals roaming, some more deadly than others, and you can choose to do challenges and side missions galore. There a few spots that will have your heart pounding, and some that will have you swearing and wondering why you bought the game in the first place. Overall though, if you want to get a game that will last you a while and is fun, this is it!
Dishonored should be up next, I have more to tell you!
Keep on gaming!

Late, so late!

Well, as you can see, I haven't posted in a while. Shame on me!<br>
I can say I have been a bit busy playing an awesome game called Borderlands. If you haven't played it yet, get it and start as the new Borderlands 2 is coming out shortly. It is like liquid crack for 1st person shooters and RPG fans.<br>
A quick summary of the game would be getting dropped off at a small outpost to look for a mythical vault that is somewhere nearby to gain the treasures inside. Along the way you have tasks to accomplish, and meet some interesting characters along the way. <br>
There is quite a bit of extra DLC that comes along with it after the initial quest is finished. More regions to explore, and more bodies to explode in a bloody mess. It really makes me think that video game designers are really pulling together to come out with great games.<br>
This will be a short one, but expect more in the near future!<br>
Keep on gaming!</p>

MW3 DLC and Dawnguard Arrives!

Well, as you all know, it has been FOREVER since I last posted. Many different factors play in, but 2 main themes are there. My family and money.
I believe in spending time with those who are close to me (even if I have to sacrifice game time) because they are the ones who have helped me get to where I am right now. Waiting again for the new DLC to come to the PS3. It's OK though! I have waited this long for Dawnguard, so another short span won't hurt me a bit.
For all of you who have the add on content, let me know how it is! I'd like to see how you like the addition of a crossbow, how the Vampire half of you kicks butt, or how you destroyed the vampires in one fell swoop.
As I said before, money has been tight lately, so picking up a new game really hasn't been my first priority. I have been playing Skyrim as a Nord, and running through some of the new maps on MW3.
I am not sure whether I like all of them or not, when I get a chance, I will let you know what I think. I did play some 2 vs. 2 the other day against a pair who were playing split screen. My partner and I used this to our advantage, getting above them to eliminate the chance of them seeing us on 2 of the maps.
I can see how having someone else I the room could help you out, but the secret to a good team is communication. Buy a cheap headset with a USB connection, and talk to your buddies.
Now I am not saying you are automatically going to get a MOAB or anything, but it will start to help out your win rate as a team. You will also find yourself listening for footsteps, missed shots, etc. more.
Well I guess that is all for now, keep on gaming, and if you want, add me on the PS Network. Just look up "Sauroke" and send me a friend request. You can see what I am playing, and jump in if you want!

Skyrim Dawnguard

So much time passes quickly when you have kids. You barely find time for the things you do for yourself.

In the event coming out in November, known as Dawnguard, the first DLC of Skyrim, we could be expecting a huge new world to explore in the Northern region. The possibility lies in some of the leaked information concerning "snow elves". Information concerning the DLC is closely guarded, due to the great amount of followers, and the time being put into the game. It will first be available on the XBOX 360, then for the PS3 and PC. With excitement growing, I am sure Bethesda will bring to light more information, and continue to leak a few bits for everyone. On another note, it has been rumored that the Witcher will be available on consoles soon. Reports are sketchy right now, but tomorrow's summer conference will tell more. With E3 right around.the corner, game companies will be unveiling new games, and information regarding Dawnguard and the Witcher may be more readily available.

Elder Scrolls Online Update

<p>More information is being leaked out concerning this game, some of which I am compiling from sources. There is a list of some of the different things that will be in the game, I found this list on neogaf.com, which tells a few of the things about the game.
I find it interesting how the timeline is set 1000 years in the past, but most of the cities that are currently in Skyrim and Morrowind are in the game. In my opinion, the old cities of the dwarves, the game elven cities, and some old forts should have been mapped out as the cities instead. I feel this would have followed the lore of the kingdoms more. If Zenimax Online have followed the trends of such mmorpg's like WOW and Guild Wars, there will be some sort of DLC or a secondary disk to follow up with providing more quests, a change in power of some places that have been cleared out, providing new passages in dungeons, and new challenges. What I am interested in the most with this, is how the timeline will match up to the lore we already know. In Skyrim, some of the Daedric temples would have multitudes of followers inside, and the College of Magic would still be whole and intact. Just a few points to ponder over, and some things to consider.
