Start of the Weekend

Morning folks,
Got an hour or so before I need to leave for work so I've decided to get on with some my jobs for the weekend, of course I made to sure put on my to do list blogging posts so here I am. Just updated my 2013 stats page so it's now 100% up to date finally, big thing to announce is that I finished the story yesterday for Medal of Honor Warfighter.

It's an ok shooter but I wouldn't say it's anything great, quite a few bugs and I really could not get into the story at the start. In fact most of the game I had no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it until the last few missions. That being said if you do look your first person shooters do give it a try when it's cheaper, it does have a few nice elements to it. Anyway that was my 8th game to be completed this year so I'm off to a really good start and my 9th for my challenge so I just need one more clocked and I can buy Dynasty Warriors 7 Empires at the end of the month. Lovefilm have sent me Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 for the PS3 so I'm currently playing through that on Veteran difficulty, hopefully I will have that done soon.

You probably wondering why I've not been playing Ni No Kuni though, am I right? well I have to be in the mood to play huge games like RPG's etc. Right now it's been a stressful week so I really did not want to get into anything that I had to remember a lot of stuff to play, shooting games are pretty much easy to pick up and play without having to remember much. But anyway I do have plans to give it a good old bash this weekend plus with several other games, in fact my want to play list is huge and I would say don't be shocked if you see a ton of games appearing on my play lists.

Also throw in the fact I just hit over 148,000 gamerscore so I'm very close to the 150k mark I really want to push for it now, then in a few weeks we have March and the wave of new releases will come crashing down. So yeah I've got a lot to do and no idea where to start, my plans are to play all weekend with tomorrow being more multiplayer again. MMO's in the morning and midday then console gaming on the late afternoon evening, cannot promise I will stick to that but fingers crossed anyway.

Well that's it for this post anyway since I really could do with getting ready and setting off, maybe attempt to do one more job before I go. Oh that does remind me though, remember I said I was shocked that I had not done an unboxing post in ages? well I found the folder with my photos for two of my collectors editions. I knew I had planned some posts and was working on them, just not sure what happened after that but anyway I'm hoping to get a post up later so keep your eyes open for later.

Anyway now I'm off, so take care all and happy weekend!

Update on this Week

Just an update to the list of lovely games, had a few more rentals since last time. Alpha protocol I found was pretty good but all signs pointed to a very long game that would cost me alot to rent since I don't have much free time right now with work. Also since it does look good and I was enjoying it I'm going to try and pick it up cheap.

Of course after that they sent me Farcry 2, no way I'm starting that so now got Dark Void on the way. Really need to check through my rental list for any too long games

Anyway here is the updated rental list

Christmas 2010

Ah Christmas, the lovely time of year where great deals appear in their hundreds, new releases every week and my game collection gets out of control.

Every year for the past two-three years I will buy tons of new games or old games at cracking prices to only barely complete one or two. The rest will sit on the shelf for months before being tempted to play or traded in towards a newer game.

So this year I've been trying my best to sit down and give them a good session A.S.A.P. At first it started off really well but with work piling on the hours (Retail at Christmas sucks) my game time as dropped to barely nothing. But that doesn't mean I'm going to give in, going to win this christmas! anyway below is the list so far.

Oh that reminds me there are some games on the list that came out back in september, I consider these christmas games because they started off quarter four insane new game launches.

Medal of Honor X360 - Completed (Hardmode Difficulty Solo)
