noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Monteiro) — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 02:24:00 PST

Yesterday, as been usual, I've played Assassin's Creed 2 and Fifa 10. Both games are keeping me busy to play other games. Well, it's not that truth. I almost forgot that I took Dissidia Final Fantasy again to try to finish it. Since I already talked about the others, let me share you some...

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Monteiro) — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 20:02:00 PST

Today, I've played four games, four types: football, adventure, RPG and strategy. It was only missing a FPS and I think I had played the major type of games. Starting with football, I didn't played Fifa 10 because yesterday I reached the top of saturation. I played FM again, with my Barça. This...

Yesterday, was a odd day. Today, in Portugal, is a holiday and yesterday many people didn't go work. A friend of mine came to my house and we returned to the times we spent when we were at the University: 5 hours playing FIFA 10. Well, before it was PES, in its golden ages. I must confess that I...

Weekend: all about football

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Monteiro) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 16:49:00 PST

As the title says, this weekend has been all about football. FM here, Fifa 10 there. I'm addicted (again) to Fifa 10. The perfection of this game is something that keeps me sitted in front of the TV always saying to my inner self "this is the last one". It never is... I'm knocking off Juventus of...

Trying to play a RPG

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Monteiro) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:00:00 PST

Well, since I've been playing only "short" games and FF XIII is coming next March, I decided to try to play a RPG. I say try because sometimes I'm just not in the mood and I have so many games to play that I desired a short game. I put my cards in Last Remnant. The reviews were poor compared to...

An hour as an Assassin

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Monteiro) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 07:37:00 PST

The new Mourinho

noreply@blogger.com (Carlos Monteiro) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 02:14:00 PST

Barcelona 2 - 1 Standard Liege I've played with my second team and I won easily. The result doesn't show that but I had more chances. Barcelona 3 - 0 Osasuna Di Maria is impressing. Two games, two goals, two solid exhibitions. As expected, the game was really easy and there was no story from...
