You can choose Iga or Koga.

I'm a few days late on this, but Assassin's Creed is here and is trés sweet.

I was mildly worried about this after hearing only tidbits about the puppetteering controls, thinking it was some overblown, confusing system to get specific results out of your action. Glad to see I was pleasantly surprised. I recall a lot of people showing disdain for the sci-fi sidestory running through things, but I'm digging it, and already starting to wonder where they could be going with things.

There's not much to say that hasn't been said by someone else already, so I'll just say play it. Sure, there's a lot of sidequesting and optional stuff, but this is definitely a world worth getting as much experience with as possible.

Since I've been busy and it's just those last two achievements, Bioshock's getting a time rule exemption since I figure I can finish it by Thursday, even though I should technically be dropping it in the mail today. I'd probably be farther along if I were sticking more religiously to the SAVE EVERYWHERE thing. The game still sucks me in the second time around, and I blew a good twenty minutes of progress last time thanks to a stupid death. Rrg.

CoD 2 is also on hold, but because the disc is messed up and keeps locking up my system. Not cool.

Another milestone strikes soon, too. Once Avatar gets here, I will have played all the retail games out to date beginning with the letter A! Finally, something that feels like progress.
