Been a long time since I've posted a blog. Too many things to update on, but the better plan would be to gradually pour in the details. Been busy with higher education and life in general.

Very excited for 2009's releases so far and what's still to come, but 2010 is looking to rival 2007. No game has topped Halo 3's multiplayer yet. Willit be Reach that succeeds the throne? Just about a year folks.

That does it for now. I plan on being a bit more active again (not to my extreme levels of yesteryear, though), so stay tuned! Enjoy the gaming.

Nothing too fancy, just my nominations and choices for platform and overall categories. Number of nominations may vary by platform, and multiplatform titles may be repeated. For the sake of keeping this relatively brief, I only included next-generation consoles and the PC. Criticize as you see fit, but remember that these are just my own opinions.

Honestly, you don't need me telling you to go get it. You should have it already. But if you want some reassurance, please read it. I'd appreciate feedback. Best game ever made.

Before you get your hopes up though, I'm only on silver for this one right now. I'll be upgrading it to gold relatively soon, but until then feel free to send me friend requests and I'll happily accept. Only annoying thing is, I have to get all of my achievements all over again...:x
