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.
A tactical action-adventure game, Enslaved centers on the complex relationship between the two main characters and challenges players to employ a mix of combat, strategy and environment traversal.

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.

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!

The weekend is off to a good start with four hours of Hell's Kitchen (my goodness, that Raj dude is a whack job!) and two hours of Sons Of Anarchy (good stuff). Maybe later, we'll scratch off a few more episodes (itching for some Fringe), so unlike our failed attempts of last week, we might actually make a dent in our backlog.
This weekend will also feature a cultural outing, as we are taking a trip to the local museum where they have a Pixar exhibit, so it shouldn't be too horrific.
I've been playing Darksiders and having fun with it, and I've also played some more Vindictus before they end the closed beta. I reached the level cap a little while ago, but mat farming is always fun, and we still gain points to upgrade skills.
