After years of waiting, Alan Wake is here. And like all other such games in past, the power of Patriotism compelled me to pick it up and rejoice and play this magnificent, obviously flawless game. (Well, yeah, it's always good to support Finnish game development, but I still have to say this: Nothing interesting happens fast in this country.)

I played through Assassin's Creed in 17th April - and overall, I think the experience was making me nervous and joyous at the same time. Now here's a game to which I could really develop a love/hate relationship on; it's also a game that is not super-stellar, but I have great expectations from the sequel. Simply put, Assassin's Creed was a paradoxal game.

4 days ago, I beat Halo: Combat Evolved (The Xbox Originals release, available from XBL).

I'm a Metroid guy, so the general immature gaming public probably expects me to rip the game to pieces with the sheer hate of the Other Platform. I'm picturing myself as a bit of an intellectual and a snob, so people would probably expect me to hammer the game heavily, verily, for being an Average And Overhyped Example of its Kind.

You know what? To hell with all that. I had fun.
