MOTD
For the past few days, I've been playing APB with a few buddies of mine, mainly from our CrimeCraft gang, and I'm not totally sold on it just yet. While it is fun to group up with a few friends, the missions themselves are quite repetitive, and the balancing is not quite up to par. For instance, they'll pit your level 40 character against someone who's ranked 190 with much better upgrades and abilities.
At the same time, we have also been playing LEGO Harry Potter, which is a little bit more involved than previous installments in the franchise but unique in its own way.
