Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is not a sequel, but a complete rebirth, a phoenix from the ashes flying at three times the speed of sound built from the ground up, with new technology fuelling a passionately realised vision of a game that puts players in the dark heart of the fight like no aerial combat game has done before.

Yesterday was kind of a mixed bag. We went to the museum to see the Pixar exhibit, and it turned out that they only allow a limited number of people per day, and they were sold out an hour after opening. While we were there, we decided to check out the rest of the museum, since it happened to be free admission day.

We went to see The Town (bank robbery movie from/with Ben Affleck) which was quite good and very intense. We also watched No Ordinary Family, a new TV series with Michael Chiklis (of The Shield) about a family who gets superpowers. It's very reminiscent of Pixar's The Incredibles.

Then the power went out for a few hours, so it was pitch dark and quiet. It's amazing how little there is to do without electricity these days ... well, except going to bed and sleeping.

Zeit² comes in the tradition of classic shoot'em up games and adds a time traveling mechanic, which extends the game experience in surprising ways. You can assist yourself by traveling back in time and co-op with your prior playing.

We had quite the busy day yesterday. We had to make a postal run, stop by the FedEx office to ship off two huge packages, had a haircut, got our groceries for the week, watched Supernatural, two hours of Fringe and played a bit of Vindictus (waiting for the open beta content on the 13th), some Global Agenda and briefly checked out Dead Rising 2.

Later today, we're going to the Pixar exhibit, see Ben Affleck's "The Town," and then rush home to feast on some slow-cooked ribs, coleslaw and beans in tomato sauce. Tasty!
