I started, and finished, playing
Assassin's Creed 2. I went through it very fast because frankly, I loved it. They kept everything I loved from the original, fixed many of its problems and added some things I didn't even know I wanted. It's not that I have no complaints about it, but they are very few, unlike with the first game (which I still really liked, but not nearly as much as this). I'm really sucked into the story now too, it's such delightful conspiracy cheese. Can't wait to play Brotherhood sometime next year after it releases on PC.
Additionally, I've been playing some more
Football Manager 2011. I'm really enjoying the game, much like I enjoyed 2010, but there are a few complaints that I have. Mainly it's what's known as the 'transfer bug'. It's seemingly impossible to sell players, and older players devalue
far too quickly in the eyes of the AI. After my first season as Heracles Almelo, I was able to acquire Zyryanov transfer free as well and half a season later Capdevila. It certainly made my ascent to the top easier (I'm now one of the best teams in Europe in my 7th season or so), but it's far from realistic. Oh, and I've a question for anyone else that might've played the game here: I want to build a new stadium, but the option in the boardroom request screen is greyed out. My current stadium has been upgraded to the max and is full even when I'm playing amateur sides in the Dutch cup, let alone when Manchester United comes to visit, I need a bigger stadium badly. I've some two hundred million euro in the bank, so that shouldn't be a problem here considering that going from 19000 seats to a massive arena seating 70,000 or more is unlikely

Edit:
Oh, and having to use mediocre reserve players in the Dutch cup semi-final because the majority of your team is away for international football sucks.
