So I've played a good amount of time DayZ at this point (probably 100~ hours or so.) And I really enjoy it.

There several maps that you can download for free, but nothing beats Chernaus, the default map. It's really good on medium pop. servers but is sometimes frustrating on high pop. servers considering that the amount of loot in the two main cities goes fast and there is usually someone camping the NW airfield. But it's still fun.

The second really good map is called Namalsk and it's a tundra-snowy map with lots of military-grade loot in it. It's basically a huge military island with lots of good shit plus there's an underground base with a Gauss Rifle.

Overall, the mod is really awesome but the standalone comes out next month or something so I would wait for that considering you'd have to buy for CO and the standalone. Hackers have gone down too and there's a lot more friendly players.

My favorite Assassin's Creed game. I've been playing the series since the original came out, and I bought AC2 on PS3 originally but it stopped working so I got it on Steam for the hell of it because I missed jumping around on buildings and assassinating guards on top of buildings during the Rennaisance. I've already beaten the game twice on PS3 and I enjoyed so much, the gameplay is top-notch and the story is even more superior. Ezio's arsenal is much more diverse than Altair's in this game and that adds to the gameplay a lot. I love this game.

Shame Ubisoft makes the worst ports for PC. Can't run this game well at all. If you're going to buy it, get it for 360 or PS3 unless you're positive you can play this well.
