Ok, so I finished up GoW Ascension last night and fucking loved it. Another great entry in the series. I've mentioned it in oter threads but I was honestly shocked at the game's length. It took me 11 hours to finish, and that was with finding all of the eyes, feathers and weapons, and I would guess most of the red orb chests. Tack on a few more hours to that for chapter select to clean up some trophies and I was definitely pushing 15 hours. I figured with the implementation of the new multiplyer mode they were going to phone it in with the campaign but they didn't. I thoroughly enjoyed by play through. When I started playing late Friday night I didn't want to stop until I finished it at 5am. Speaking of the multiplayer, I still want to try it and I may also fire up New Game + and beat the game on Hard for that platinum.
I've also been balls deep in Bioshock. Yes, the original. I got the standard PS3 version which comes with the original for free. My wife is a HUGE Bioshock fan and wants to watch me play through all three in order. She's played through 1 and 2 on the 360 at least five times each. With her sitting next to me it's like having my own person Game F-A-Q (in my Brink voice with the pinky out :ccbrink

. She knows every nook and cranny in those first two games. I'm most shocked that she has the patience and willpower to just watch me play instead of firing up Infintite for herself, especially considering my 360 Songbird Edition arrived today so she wouldn't even have to steal the PS3 copy from me.
Bioshock 1 is still about as awesome as I remember, although some of the controls irk me at times. Not being able to dual wield your plasmids and weapon like you can in 2 is a real bummer. Havinng to switch from one to the other, and then also trying to reload a weapon only to have your character shoot himslef with an EVE syringe, or witching to a plasmid and trying to hit an enemy only to have him use the syringe can be rage inducing at times. It's still an amazing game and I'm reallu looking forward to playing through the rest of it, then 2 and then Infinite.
Also, an unboxing video of the Sonbird Edition will be forthcoming.
