Well this holiday season is definately going to be one to remember no matter what system you play. For Wii owners who have been itching for a really solid 1st party title, Super Mario Galaxy comes out today and is sure to be able to keep you busy for weeks. Assassins Creed ships today on Next Gen Consoles and so far the worst score i've seen is a 7.7 while most others are atleast giving it a solid 9 out of 10. Scores like that might seem disappointing at first but with the amount of skepticism and worry that has been surrounding the title, it is actually quite a relief. Assassins Creed is already confirmed to be the first of a planned trilogy so Ubisoft's first attempt to break new ground definately seems to be a success. Mass Effect will obviously be gracing Xbox 360 consoles in about a weeks time so RPG fanatics should get their fix and of course Guitar Hero 3 and Call of Duty 4 will sell well throughout the coming months. The PS3 will also see its share of exclusives such as Uncharted: Drakes Fortune and Haze so PS3 owners shouldn't have much to complain about either. Handheld gamers will have plenty of new titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the DS and Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP among others. Overall, this looks to be one the best holidays for gamers in a long time.
O yeah, I managed to connect to Xbox Live and play some Call of Duty 4 last night so my aspirations to play online more may be looking up to. Final Fantasy XI, here I come!
Peace!

Some of the reviews are worse than you may think.
Fry's has it for 40 dollars this week though!

link didnt show correctly. Just go to Metacritic.
They are as low as 67/100.
The reviews aren't that bad. I admit, I predicted a couple 7 out of 10's but that is to be expected for the games first entry. Now, Ubisoft can hopefully correct any problems in a sequel. As for the story, I'm very interested to experience it for myself. A lot of people hated movies with confusing plots and events such as the Matrix Revolutions but I personally love stories like that. I have a feeling I will like the story more than most. We'll find out soon though. I'm picking it up today so i'll post impressions soon. Thanks for the link Brad.
