My gaming weekend was dominated by three games. Donkey Kong Country Returns, Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Donkey Kong is a great slice of retro loveliness on the Wii that works especially well at this time of the year. Or is just me that gets nostalgic about Nintendo at Christmas? Like the original though this is a real challenge - prepare for some festive cursing.
Equally challenging is Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga. This is an excellent RPG that may have slipped under a few radars. My review will be up soon but fans of old-school RPGs should definitely check this one out.
The rest of the time was spent with Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood - mainly in the multiplayer mode. Compared to the bluster and carnage of – say - Black Ops the multiplayer here is tense, tactical and accessible to gamers who don't have 20 hours a day to practice headshots. Pulling off a successful assassination is hugely satisfying and you get the impression that Brotherhood's multiplayer will gather a large fanbase.
Anyway how about you? How was your gaming weekend?
