Age of Mythology Titans complete! - sorta...

Well, this'll be a short post, I managed to see the end of the Titans campaign for Age of Mythology, and it wasn't too bad. It wasn't as good as the original campaign, I thought, but it was decent enough. It was much shorter in terms of missions, where the main campaign had 32 missions, the expansion only has 12. However, I should say that I was on the 4th mission when I caved and decided to see the rest of the story.

Yeah, you guessed it, in come the cheat codes. I'm pretty sure I missed out on alot of the story that was told during the gameplay, especially in the last mission where I said "how did that happen?", but I had to be realistic in that I just couldn't devote that much time to it. Sure, I probably would have finished it off, but not in the time frame that I wanted. Still, I might have to revisit the expansion at a later point because I do feel like trying my hand at an actual fight against a titan or two.

Now that's over with, I tried my hand at another game, which oddly enough also has a "bit" of a greek mythology theme to it, Titan Quest. After a bit of playing though, I had to stop and uninstall it from my laptop. It wasn't bad overall, really nice game in the same manner of how Diablo I and II are, but whenever I entered a cave area, it would get real choppy, besides the slight sluggishness when I was in a town. Besides, it did pop a message that my laptop was below the system specs, so I figure I might as well stop playing this game before I get too far ahead of myself, and see how it plays on my desktop when I come back from the US.

I believe I'm going to stop attempting to play anything on my laptop while I'm here, just due to the fact that I'm about to leave from here. If anything changes though, I'll post it on here.
