I hope everyone is doing good. I just finished up watching Battlestar Galactica. I really enjoyed it. I watched my first episode last week and finished it all yesterday. It was a long miniseries. After that I downloaded Gacumalee. I got ten dollars for spending 50 dollars on PSN. I didn't even realize I did. It was a nice surprise. Besides that game, I been contemplating what to play next. I have a lot of games and getting Pandora's Tower tomorrow.

I hope everyone is doing well. I was playing a lot of God of War: Ascension which I think is pretty good. It seemed like more of the same but those huge set piece moments continue to impress me. I  just beat Bioshock Infinite on hard. The 1999 Mode sounds pretty daunting but with so much else to play. I will finish up on God of War and start on other games (such as XCOM: Enemy Unknown). I will say that Bishock Infinite is an incredible game. I might have to say my favorite of the year next to Tomb Raider. Now besides gaming, I been watching Breaking Bad which I finished up. There is a few things that have been annoying me and to blog, I decided to forgo pictures.

I beat Tomb Raider and as well as Dead Space 3. I have enjoyed both games but right now I will talk specifically about Tomb Raider. There are things I would love to see improved or added in a sequel to a fine Tomb Raider game and here is my list. Swimming would be first. It left it out completely. You can’t be a seasoned explorer without being about to explore hidden areas within the water and caves hidden beneath water.  To be more seasoned and not as a novice in Lara’s first grand adventure, she should now be able to be more acrobatic. I don’t see this really happening but it would add to the more puzzle elements if we can get that mixed in the platforming like old Tomb Raider games.

Right now the game to beat for the best of the year is Tomb Raider. I didn’t know that the crazy rollercoaster ride that Nathan Drake has taken us on in his adventures can be beat. What I joy it has been to be amazed and to experience something more organic and realistic than the brutal beating that Lara Craft has gone through. She feels pain throughout and it is something that is shown lightly. It has been done in Uncharted but not with the pain and ferocity that it is in Tomb Raider. Lara Craft looks like she is struggling in many moments while breathing hard and having a damaged arm. She is bloodied up and dirty. This isn’t a cake walk and Crystal Dynamics is making the most realistic presentation in showing the details that it isn’t. That in itself is one of the best things about the game.

Well here I am on PixlBit, a former blogger, Xcite79 on 1up. Not only that but I am now in USA. I been back for just over a week now. I been just hanging with the family and as for gaming, I been playing a lot of Dead Space 3. I am currently on Chapter 17. The only other games I played is Little Inferno and New Super Mario Bros U. I have a lot of other games to play. A lot that has been waiting for me and those I got through the mail since then...
