  Out with the old, in with the new

  Recently plat'd Mass Effect 2, a day after Christmas, and Okami HD a day after New Year's. Good stuff all around.

  Insanity in ME2 had a few rough patches, but if you stick with the upgrades, the last half of it feels like Normal. I ended up completing all the DLC, on Insanity, along with the main game... Firewalker, Overlord, Kasumi, Zaeed, Lair of the Shadow Broker and Arrival.

  Definitely ready to tackle ME3, now. I may do a second Insanity run just for kicks.

  Also, seven days 'till Anarchy Reigns, woo!

  Only other thing I can divulge is that I might start posting random reviews for games I play. I used to do so for a friend's website and hope to do so again, so maybe getting some of my work out there will catch someone's ear... or eyes... or ability to read and like things they read. I dunno.

  Merry Christmas!

  Spent my Christmas eating good food and playing even better games. I'm continuing my way through Okami HD, thanks to my sister - best. Xmas gift. Ever.

  Also been continuing my Insanity run in Mass Effect 2, which has been going great ever since I did the Derelict Ship mission. No more Praetorians to face from now till the end of the game! ^-^

  Absolute worst enemy in the game and, outside of YMIR and Krogan, the only things I really had trouble with... sorry Harbinger, you're in the easy pile. I'll probably plat this within the week, give ME1 another playthrough and then continue on my way through the trilogy, start to finish.

  I might even pick up the Leviathan and Omega DLC, although the latter disappoints me. Why no permanent squad member from that DLC, BioWare? How do you justify that $5 mark up!? Blah.

  Balancing insanity with ...sanity.

  Decided to start an Insanity playthrough of ME2 after playing ME1 for the first time. I haven't played ME2 since Summer 2011 but only have one trophy till plat. To balance out the stress this brings I've also began playing Okami HD, which I got from my sister as an early Xmas present (thanks, Chiyo! ^^).

  I haven't played Okami since 2007, so its almost an entirely new experience all over again... and its amazing. Definitely a slice o' gaming heaven that I plan on 100%'ing all over again.
