I've been juggling between Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (it's been in storage and now that I have a Conner statue staring at me, I better get back to beating the series to enjoy his game!) and ZombieU.

I will let you know now, ZombieU is hard and stressful. Literally one bite deaths, and the next character you play has to kill your last character as a zombie to get your old sweet loots. I'm not that far in (Buckingham Palace) but have already gone through 5 people, I think? It's a fun game, but only if you like being stressed out and dying a lot in a zombie-apocalypse scenario in the middle of London. It's fun too.  :P But I can't emphasize it's stressfulness. If you can, borrow it from a friend to try it first before you decide to plunge into it, because I can definitely tell it's not for everyone.

Reminds me of my experience with L4D and L4D2. If you want a less stressful zombie game set in London go for Killing Floor, one of my all time favorite multiplayer games. Though that can be hard for n00bs (especially ones used to consoles) as I was reminded when someone sent me this video in which 5 guys try to play the game for the first time all at once.

As for what I've been playing, I finally cleared out the 8 blocks in my PS1 memory card to try and play the trap'em up. "Tecmo's Deception"

Been replaying Zelda: Oracle of Ages on the Gamecube's Gameboy Player. I'm trying to figure out once and for all if Ages or Seasons is the better entry. I've always preferred the latter, but haven't played through Ages as much. Regardless, I'm pretty floored. How is it that Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Season, and The Minish Cap remain the best Zelda entries from 2001 to the present, when we've had 3 big console iterations of Zelda during that span of time and two DS-powered portable entries? There is just A LOT more personality, innovation, and texture to the worlds in these GBC & GBA portable titles.

Haven't been playing much this week. I'll tell you what I haven't been playing. Rockman Xover. Nor will I ever be.

I haven't played anything for a little while so I forgot for a little bit. Let's see...

-DmC Demo: Not as bad as expected, but not quite up to the same level as 1 3 or 4. More than anything it makes me want to play 3. I may make a separate thread about my impressions. (Of course it's better than 2. Everything is better than DMC2. Why are you even asking?)

-Castlevania Chronicles: Been doing Classic Mode 1CC runs, two have been successful so far. Need to try Loop 2 sometime.

-Metroid: Zero Mission: The Metroid bug always bites around Fall/Winter for some reason. ZM is barrels of fun but I miss how much you could sequence break in Super Metroid.

I always keep meaning to find Zero Mission. That, and Fusion.

I've been playing Lords of Shadows recently, as well as Splinter Cell. I played through and beat Bloodlines today. Such an underrated title.

Mostly playing Halo 4 lately.  Still working on Ocarina of Time on 3DS, and I hope to go back and finish up Dead Space before too long.

Seed rank is what gets you money in the game. You get higher seed rank by either doing the seed tests in your menu, or playing the game as closely to "perfection" as you can. Needless to say, the test is the way to go. I believe, having characters die, taking forever to go to places that you need to go contributes to lowering your seed rank. You get paid every hour of gameplay. So I'd go ahead and take those tests early to get money earlier on.

Keep in mind that you can only take tests up to your current character maximum level.
