Backlog update; Assassin's Creed done, Prototype up next.





Well, I started with Saint's Row, but I ran into a snag on that final Los Carnales mission. This is the mission where you have to blow up the plane before it takes off. Dex is driving and you're shooting. Simple enough right? Wrong. There are guys with rocket launchers, and due to the games stiff camera and shooting controls, it is a true pain in the ass to get this part done. After about 15 tries, I decided to stop before I broke my damn XBOX. From there, I moved on to Assassins Creed, which  I finished. Just playing through the game netted me 750/1000 achievement points, which isn't bad. 

Next up is Prototype, an open world game from back in 2009.  So far so good. The game play is pretty fun, and I believe this game uses a modified version of the Hulk: Ultimate Destruction engine.  More later.
