  From endless frustration to endless amount of fun

  Ok so AC2 has been my most anticipated game of the year. As you might know Ubisoft has released the game in three edition, normal, white and black. The Black Edition being the ultimate assissins edition sold for 90 euros, with an extra artbook, dvd, 3 downloadable maps and Ezio in hisfully upgraded gear. I tried my hardest to get my hands on the Black Edition and went as far to order it from Play.com knowing I wouldn't have my game on release day.

  Here the journey of ultimate frustration starts. I was clever enough to convince my cousin to buy his White Edition on release day and hand it to him after the weekend. He was out of cash at the time anyway and was ok if I played it for a couple of days.So I could actually play the game for an entire weekend. I really put a lot of hours into it, it is such an amazing game. At the end of the weekend I had 500/1000 achievement points. I really was into the game, but had to hold on to the deal with my cousin and hand it over to him. So from that point no more AC2 for me.

  The wait for the Black Edition from play.com was on. Their site says shipments to Holland useally takes 7-10 days. Fair enough. The game didn't arrive during that time and I have been waiting without AC2 for so long and I still have nothing. Itis my most anticipated game of theyear and not being able to play it while it is in store is really a buzz kill.If the game doesn't arrive they cannot send me another copy either, since the Black Edition is so limited. They can only give me a refund after 21 days have passed. Frustration level has reached his peak. I couldn't wait any longer, knowing the White Edition are limited too. I went to a shop and got the last White Edition for 60 euros. I can breath once again.

  The wait has been really killing me, Play.com doesn't offer any form of track and trace. I will never order at Play.com ever again. At least I can play AC2 now and I hope I get a refund as soon as possible. AC2 is such a great game and I am just over the middle of the game. Hours of fun are still ahead of me

  360 is BACK ! ! !

  So my 360 gave me an error message just over a week ago and I had to send it in for repairs. The timing couldn't have been worse, just before the release of Modern Warfare 2. So it killed some off the release hype. Microsoft service has been really good though, I called them and on the same day they picked the broken 360 up from my house. On the site I could see exactly what was going on with the repairs. Yesterday they send back a new 360 and today it got delivered to my house. The hardware of Microsoft maybe faulty, but with there repair service is nothing wrong. So now I am very happy

  I can only start playing my 360 again when I return from school on Thursday, but that doesn't face me too much I will catch up on all the CoD action I have been missing for the past week And next week I will hopefully get Assassins Creed 2 in the mail. The game that is bound to be my Game of the Year. So I just wanted to let you guys know Hope you are having a good time gaming!

  Have any of you seen the new Alan Wake footage? It looks amazing

  Is this irony or what . . . E74 Error day before MW2 release (not joking)

  So yeah I have been eagerly awaiting the modern warfare 2 release. Today I played a lot of CoD4 and a watched a movie on my 360. When I was done watching the movie I turned it off and left it for about 30 minutes. Just before I wanted to go to bed I wanted to play a few more CoD4 matches and I get an error message E74. I cannot believe this and just when I was thinking todaymy 360 has been holding up so well since I got it. Just before one of the most anticipated game releases of this year my 360 breaks on me. I really wanted to share this amusing fact with you, so you can have a laugh at least. I might try the towel trick to at least play some MW2 before I send it in for repairs I don't if I can sleep

  Cheers
