Time for an update

Sorry for the lack of posts. Been a little short on cash, so I haven't gotten any new games to play, or made much progress on Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP. On a positive note, I should be getting my next game (Lost Odyssey, so the review will be a long while) sometime next week.

So, I went back to try to get to the 1050 GS for Mass Effect (since Bring Down the Sky raised the max GS to 1050). I only had about 6 achievements left. Unfortunately, I wasn't playing the last character on the right difficulty, so I still have 2 more to get. This time, I am doing a blitz through the campaign, skipping as many side quests as possible to get this, and then replaying the character the same way on the toughest difficulty. Hopefully, that will net the results I want. And, at least I can make a couple choices I never made (like saving the Council...god I hope I didn't spoil it for anyone.)

And, within the past week, Ubisoft released a patch for Rainbow Six: Vegas 2. I was excited, because that is another 85 GS to add, which brings me closer to the 10,000 mark. My PFC achievement was unlocked as soon as my profile was loaded. Unfortunately, the "Freedom Shall Prevail" achievement wasn't right away. But a quick play through of a level on the story got it for me. I also noticed how the power leveling spot in Pic des Pyrenees was fixed, so at least anyone who reaches elite now will be able to say they did it without (as much) cheating.

Too bad, multi-player is still shot. Yea, but this time its worse (at least for me.) Tonight, after I got my other achievements, I decided to give Versus one more try, to see if the lag issues got fixed. Now, I don't know what is going on over at Ubisoft regarding this game; but apparently I was the only one playing. I kept getting an error message, basically saying the search failed. After many attempts, and checking T-hunt and Co-op story, I came to the conclusion that I would have rather dealt with the horrible lag.

One more note before I list the achievements I got recently; my friends want to borrow my blog to review 3 Uwe Boll movies. I don't see why not, considering that the movies will be based on games (...loosely at least ;p ) But if anyone has a reason for me to not do it, leave a comment.
