I'm dawdling around Florence hunting treasure, doing side quests, buying equipment, and enjoying the scenary. Now and then I return to my villa and place some new expansions so it brings in more money for me.

Surprisingly the game's quite funny too. Ezio's uncle is called Mario. Guess what he said when he met his nephew? That's right, "It's-a me, Mario!". The manual is packed full of sly digs at the things Ubisoft know they got wrong last time, little character notes from Lucy which demand fixes to 'bugs' with the animus in order to get rid of effects like dying when you fall in water and the visual glitching effect on the HUD.
Argh! That sounds amazing. I loved the first, and from what I am hearing (from here and other palces) the second is even better. Why must the PC version be delayed? Why!

Currently: Dragon Age is still seeing attention as is the new addition to my library Left 4 Dead 2. I'm also considering giving Mass Effect another go, I still haven't redone a canonical play-through since I lost my 360 last month.
