In addition, I"m starting up Breath of Fire III soon so I can finally beat it. Don't know why I haven't, love the hell out of that game.

You have just invalidated any opinion about BoF you had for me, you can't say anything bad about Dragon Quarter cause you never finished BoF3 which is often considered the best game in the franchise.

I just finished Assassin's Creed 2 last night. I think I may do a blog post on it specifically at a later point but I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. Given how much of a bore the original was most of the time (I finally sat down and just ploughed through it to get to the second one) the jump in quality is nothing short of astounding. And I don't say this about any game ever really, but I'll probably buy the DLC soon.

If I have one quibble with the game it would be that characters just seem to drop off the map after awhile and then everybody just shows up towards the end with no warning. I would have liked to see more of all of the characters throughout the game, but at the same time I think that could have thrown the pacing off a bit. Overall a great game that's worthy of the praise it got. Hopefully in the next few months I can grab Brotherhood, and then the new one in November.

I can vouch for this, I'm in the second half of AC2 but taking some time off to finish some other titles. I was pretty confounded how much better AC2 was compared to the original and its practically in every facet of the game as well. I'm looking forward to the blog but place a warning about spoilers cause I'm still trying to finish it.
