Hell of a town.

Reminds me that I still need to play the first. Please someone make me unemployed!!!

Goddamn, arena driven loot madness. As soon as I have finished the main game, I will get that season pass.

Still looking damn good!

Grand Theft Auto V: Trailer 2

The internet explodes like Hamas terrorists in the Gaza strip.

Call of Duty: Black Ops: 1st Hour Gameplay

Just zapped through. It seems to have a weird story but great shooter gameplay. Probably it's even good. Definitely better than the last Modern Warfare.

Introduction To Elder Scrolls Online

It plays a thousand years before Skyrim, yet it looks like the same era. Well, anyway, who would take that too seriously?

GTA V Game Informer Scans

Three main protagonists. All stuff build from ground up. Getting excited for the trailer. See all the scans via this link.

Seems there's yet another Mass Effect 3 DLC to come. The biggest one is Mass Effect history, letting players revisit Omega. Beware there are story spoilers here.

Some describe Far Cry 3 as Skyrim with guns. Well, it certainly looks nice anyway.

Halo 4: First 20 Minutes And MP Gameplay

 
Enjoy.

Changes From AC II To AC III

 
AC evolved.

Halo 4 Reviews

Completely forgot about Halo 4. Well, no year without Halo. It seems to be doing good in the reviews, so no problem Bungie isn't doing it anymore. Personally I recently picked up Halo 3 but stopped again for Borderlands 2. Tragedy of my life.

Kill In A Living World In Hitman Absolution

Beware, Agent 47 at the turntables!

Mass Effect Trilogy Trailer

I don't know about you but I am still marvelling about the Lucasfilm/ Disney deal and that a new Star Wars is coming. As I have been a Star Wars fan from early childhood it was easy for me to fall in love with the brilliant Mass Effect series. I think it truly has the scope and authenticity to be on par with Star Wars. In case you missed Mass Effect, go get this incredible offer. (I need to play Mass Effect 3 myself still, well christmas is coming).

Movies: Star Wars Episode VII Coming As Disney Buys Lucasfilm

 
God damn, I love Star Wars. Especially episodes IV to VI. Back from what I read once upon a time George Lucas had the script for all nine episodes worked out anyway so I wondered when the last trilogy would come. Now this vid shows that they (creative people at Lucasfilms) are right now in the thinking progress about what the story will continue like so it obviously isn't Lucas himself any more but he will guide the process in his spirit. Well, I just hope Disney will keep the genuine still and doesn't bastardize it further than Episode I did.

First 25 Minutes of NFS Most Wanted 2

Wow, this really looks fun. Yet I wonder if it can live up to the first Most Wanted which is from the beginning of the generation (2005). That was an amazing game with an incredible feeling of speed. Stupid that they give the games the same name. Could have at least put a 2 behind it.

Darksiders II: Forge DLC

Still need to buy part 2. Liked the first very much.

I'm not too much into multiplayer. Still the game looks nice.

Borderlands 2 DLC: Captain Scarlett's Pirate Booty

Looks fun, yet I wonder whether the DLC raises the level cap?

What I'm Playing: Borderlands 2

Probably about damn time that I finally drop some personal words here again. The last months have been marked by a heavy workload in my academic life and in consequence the blog was left deserted. What a fucking shame but unfortunately not possible elsewhise. In the summer I did a 6 week summer university and couldn't play a lot. I just played what little my PC is capable of and had to find out it is not even able to run Torchlight in netbook-mode without overheating...

Well, but I'm back at home and just couldn't stop from getting myself Borderlands 2. This game is just awesome. Loved the first one and the second part is better in every aspect. It even finally has a story line! And Claptrap is better than ever. And they completely restructured everything so that now every character has 3 skill trees. And I love the cel shaded comic look, it looks like art, this game is really great. Of course with all those bazillions of weapons there's addiction in it and I play whenever I can. Which is probably still not too much, but the best I can do. Oh, yeah, I am playing the Commando, now Level 18. Thing is my own campaign is now far too easy for more since I partied up with some friends with higher level characters. This is great for leveling up, but I am now myself to strong for my own campaign. I just love doing sidemissions and this game has some great ones but receiving only very small EXP for those missions is kind of sad. Still I love this game and I think I will play it for many months or years to come like Gears 3 or Super Street Fighter IV. Games of this kind are made for eternity. I am even thinking of buying the season pass once I finished the main campaign. I am just a little scared of the badass-rank destroying bug. Fix it, Gearbox, do it now!

Every once in a while I play Assassin's Creed Revelations. It seems to be as good as brotherhood, and I love the setting of Istanbul. Reminds me of my time in this amazing city. However until now I put just not enough time in it, meaning I am still more or less in the beginning. Well, with Assassin's Creed III coming this fall I am again behind in time. But the truth is that there are just too many damn good games to play for the average game loving person like me. Once AC:R is finished (which will hopefully be before christmas) I will get myself the long overdue Mass Effect 3. This is out since a year and it is my favorite series in gaming. Well, I finished my 2nd playthrough of Mass Effect 2 just earlier this year, so I am once again into the story and I am very excited to what outcome Mass Effect 3 will put my choices. Other great games I missed so far were Darksiders 2 and the Darkness 2. I will get them some time next year (with the next month long stay abroad on the horizon already it might become even next fall to play these gems - at least they are really cheap then). Concerning this years fall setup I am very interested in Dishonored. It reminds me of Bioshock and I just loved Bioshock. I will put a note in my head to play it at some distant point in the future when I am hopefully unemployed, my girlfriend left me and my family abandoned me. That would be optimal conditions for playing more games, haha.

Oh, and I finally have acquired a PS3 for myself. Got presented a broke one, send it in at a private company which repairs them and now I finally have one. I am eyeing several collections like the God of War Saga or the HD Remakes of Shadow of the Colossus/ ICO or several great exclusive games I missed so far like Uncharted or Killzone. Sadly I am out of money now and then again my spare time is not even enough for my beloved 360.  And I still need to get some original controllers, the one I had was 3rd party and had broken shoulder buttons. Oh damn. Just why are Dualshock 3s are so expensive (went up from 35 Euro on Amazon last week to 42 this week).

Anyway, need to get back to work now. Oh and one more note on the blog: However little I may post, I won't abandon this blog. It obviously isn't up to date as a news source anymore, but I want to continue dropping some trailers whenever I find the time and more importantly drop some confuse lines about how I am feeling as a gamer playing games or  even not playing games.

Assassin's Creed III: SE Unboxing

I think I have never seen a game that has received so many video advertisments like this one.

Darkstalkers Getting Released on XBLA/PSN

Darkstalkers, damn good fighting game from back in the day gets a release early next year as downloadable title. I wished they did a sequel of that game in Street Fighter IV engine.

The Beauty of Dishonored Trailer

 Sleeper hit. The game is getting a high review average. It reminds me of Bioshock which I still deeply love. If I just had the time and the money to play more.

Far Cry 3: Tribe Trailer

 
This game is just looking too good. Probably most of the trailers are made from PC footage but PS360 should perform enjoyable as well.

Assassin's Creed 3 - The Boston Tea Party

 
The Boston Tea party. Damn, this game looks great. Still need to finish AC: Revelations though. But for now there's just Borderlands 2 for me.

Dead Space 3 17 Minutes Gameplay

 
Dead Space 3. After having finished the 2nd one I am very much looking forward to playing the third. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be Resident Evil 5.

Back Again

Fellow gamers still coming around here,

I am back and the blog is going to continue. I've been busy with real life stuff in the past two months (specifically moving flats and a summer school in Israel), but I have never forgotten about gaming. In fact the less I am able to play (and blog about it) the more I think about it.
Lately I bought myself some Borderlands 2, just couldn't withstand.
Anyway, I will try to post some videos in the usual manner again.

Thanks for checking the blog,
Hans

Hitman Absolution - Streets of Hope Playthrough

Hitman is back. Complete walkthrough of one level. It looks quite nice to me.

The World of Darksiders II: Kingdom of Death

Can't wait for this game. Loved the first one.

Street Fighter X Tekken Vita New Anime

Well, somehow this game didn't capture me as Street Fighter IV did. I wish I could turn off the gems, they are really annoying. However, this is still a cool anime:






Thinking about it it would be great if they release all the additional characters for 360 as well. Free. ... lol.
