Gaming!

Not much varied gaming this week, basically just some GBA, Xbox, and 360. I'll get right into it.

GBA: New Retronauts came out this week. It's a retro podcast about video games I listen to and makes me want to play some old games. This week they discussed Phantasy Star, so i popped in my Phantasy Star Collection for GBA and began. I've only done the first one so far because I want to keep in order, but from what I can tell it's mindless grinding from place to place with story in between. Perfect while listening to podcasts.

Xbox: This week there was an awesome coupon I found thanks to Cheap Ass Gamer. It was 25% off any used Xbox or 360 game at Gamestop. I found it in time to use it three times. So I picked up Otogi, Otogi 2, and KoToR for the regular Xbox. Considering Otogi and Otogi 2 aren't on the 360 backwards compatibility list yet, I began to play a bit of KoToR. VERY good game, and it also helps I love Star Wars, and pretty much anything sci-fi. I'm pretty sure this is gonna be one of the next games I tackle, as I am in a 360 burnout. I also played Ninja Gaiden on Xbox for the first time. I like it but I will probably wait to continue playing, because I would like to go through DMC first, and Ninja Gaiden 2 doesn't release until May. Final note, I went back through and picked up all the DLC for my Xbox games. I probably won't use em, but I like having them.

360: Beat Condemned on 360 finally. Took longer then expected, no real reason, mainly cause I worked 5 extra hours then I would have liked this week. Also tried some Gears of War. I like it, problem is I just went through a crazy go through of 360 games beating 3 of em in a row and I'm burnt out. So I will get back to it, just later on. I also downloaded my first and probably ONLY, Xbox Original game. The game is Pirates! The series has always intrigued me, and I don't really care about owning a boxed copy of it. Also I checked online, and 15 bucks is a reasonable price for it. Haven't played it yet, but I will be very soon and I'll give my impressions on Thursday.

Thats it for now, got my Tomb Raider games in the mail, and I plan on trying those at some point soon. That coupon kind of threw a bunch of stuff into disarray, but I should be getting around to them soon. I should also have some VC stuff to talk about on Thursday as Ninja Gaiden 3 for NES is coming. See ya!
