Old, New and the stuff in between...

Hola to all my random blog followers or stumble uponers. It's been a hot crazy minute since I have posted anything and today just felt like a good day to write something.

Updates - Gameage is still happening but working all the time is also happening.

What I'm playing right now - Age of Mythology, Animal Crossing New Leaf and Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 (360).

Age of Mythology is a RTS and it's on PC. It originally came out in 2002 and an expansion pack (yeah those things before DLC) was released in 2003. The game was a spin-off or upgrade from the Age of Empires series. You start out with a settlement with a few settlers to help you advance. Your settlers help gather resources to allow you to advance your eras and technology. Your map in the beginning is blacked-out and you need to explore to find what areas are safe and what areas are inhabited by enemies.

The ultimate goal is to take over the world with the best technology, warriors and gods destroying anything that gets in your way.

The expansion gave you the power of Titans, which in a nutshell are super huge gods that fight along-side you. To achieve the power of the Titans you need to advance to the last era.

The video below (while grainy) provides a nice teaser as to what to expect from Age of Mythology: Titans

Animal Crossing New Leaf is on the 3DS and plays just like its predecessors on the Game Cube, DS and Wii. You create your village, you get a house with a mortgage. So what does a villager in a fluffy animal filled town supposed to do to pay off their mortgage, you might ask? Well collect and sell: fish, fossils and bugs of course! Yes that's correct, you spend all of your time either collecting and selling or talking with your neighbors, who are all animals. My favorite neighbor right now is Stinky (no I didn't name him that) who is a cat that wears a wrestling outfit. All-in-all this is cute game that is totally addicting.

Then we have Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 for the Xbox 360. Yeah we just got this yesterday (Target had it as-is for $5.00) and it came with the first movie. We haven't actually started it yet but I have played all of the Lego Batman games, Lego Lord of the Rings and Lego Pirates of the Caribbean so I'm expecting about more or less the same but with a Harry Potter story line. You break stuff, collect Lego pieces, build awesome Lego stuffs and repeat through several stages. Not going to lie, I love this. It brings me back to when I used to play old Nintendo games and you just ran around and did stuff and the story progressed and you had fun gaming.

Thank you for stopping by and reading what I have to say. I am working on getting back on track with writing and of course I promise to continue to be a gamer and still be girly! :)
