I normally rant about how much I dislike going back to Edinburgh, but a funny thing happened on this trip. I actually didn't mind it too much. I think my main issue with 'burgh is the living with my family and I actually think that if I had a nice place near the city centre, I could actually cope with living there...maybe...Of course a job would be a requisite.

I guess I'd pretty much guessed that ToA would go this way in some shape or form, but it did have a very ambitious setup. Oh well :-(
Anyone notice that the Office installer's windows are awfully like the Mac's "morphing" windows....
I've not been here for WEEKS it seems. I'm still on the planet, but just been busy working away. And playing Gears of War.
I went and bought and Xbox360 (on the news that Assassin's Creed is going to come out on it) and have been looking for a "next-generation" game that actually is "Next Gen". Test Drive Unlimited introduced a new multi-player angle but let's face it, it's a driving game and not much new there.
GoW is a different kettle of fish...First up it looks absolutely amazing, and that's not in High-Def. The game play is fluid and innovative, and once you get the hang of contextual buttons it's easy to play. Drop in the fact you have ad-hoc drop in co-op play, both locally and online and you have something that, I think, is truly "Next Gen".
Some of you will say that its a shooter and I agree, its not push any boundaries in game styles, but that's what I'm hoping Assassin's Creed will do....
