Just a brief note to wrap up June.
My PC gaming was quasi-nonexistent, mostly due to spending too many hours struggling with running Witcher 2, which I didn't play then, as I was sort of disheartened. I played maybe half an hour of Witcher 2 altogether - not much, really. I still haven't gotten around to complete Dragon Age: Origins, which I might get to do during next weekend and on the double - because it seems that I will have to return my borrowed PC all of a sudden.
As for gaming on PS3, the situation was much better. I finished Uncharted 2, which turned out to be bloody brilliant (it really deserves a separate post on how cinematic it can get), I played quite a bit of Batman: Arkham Asylum, also an excellent game on many levels. I have also gotten myself Little Big Planet as a part of Sony's Welcome Back programme in order to play it with my girlfriend - but it is her who spends more time with the game in the end. The other title I have downloaded was Dead Nation, a co-op zombie shooter, which I didn't really fall in love with - should have gotten InFamous instead.
My PSP also received some loving, if only due to my holiday trip. I didn't have time to prepare the gaming library, so I played some Lumines (always cool), some Tales of Eternia (pretty, but yawn, how cliche the story is) and some Persona 3 Portable ('cause it's great, period).
My other gaming-related activities included drooling over Playstation Vita, writing yet another batch of articles and a script for video-feuilleton on Zelda and finally reading Bissell's Extra Lives, which I have found to be largely overrated. All in all, a good month.
