Game Diary, catch up edition.

short catch up edition. First the streak lives on and we are currently sitting at 353 straight days. I have been playing a little more Red Faction, and have grown tired of it. So tired, I refuse to return it blockbuster. Fallout 3 has been consuming the majority of my time. Some new DLC was released and should hold me for the long haul. I will play Fallout3 until the year streak is obtained. I will sprinkle in some NBA2K9 and Tiger Woods 09 for some variety.
The diary should be back in full force tomorrow.

Thanks for reading

Game Diary, Tuesday's game play

Quick one tonight. I played some more of this Red Faction. Starting to grow tired of the game already. It is basically Saints Row on Mars. I am disappointed. Sure the destruction thing is a cool new tweak, but it can't carry the whole game. Same old song and dance, drive to yellow marker, complete mission, jack car, drive to new yellow marker. Yawn.

So I fell back on a classic. Yup, played more Fallout3. A new DLC was released today, so you know I had to get it. Not quite ready to play it though. Looks really good. Creepy, dark, and a mysterious stranger with an Ax????

NBA2K9 got a spin as well. Still trying to get the Bulls the championship. The games knows they are not suppose to have it.

The streak lives on.

Game Diary, catch up edition.

Sorry for the diary outage, I was on another vacation. This time I stayed home and played video games, lots of them. So the streak is safe and on going at 332 straight.
I rented a few new titles Wolverine : Origins, and Terminator : Salvation. Both titles play off the Hollywood movie releases. One succeeded the other failed, as a video game at least. Play Wolverine if you get the chance, pass on Terminator not worth the 5 hours it takes to complete the game.

I made a ton of progress with Fallout3 and started the first of the 3 DLC's tonight. I am inching ever so closer to the new stuff. With the new DLC already installed I keep stumbling upon new places and faces. I just can't get enough of this game.

The usual suspects also found their way into my console. I played some NBA2k9, Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Madden, RockBand2, Forza2, and Arkadian Warriors. Darth Slagus and myself got to co-op Arkadian Warriors and the game just loses something online. The camera angle is a little limited, I guess that must be it. Still worth the few bucks for the download. I should mention that I also participated in a few more Beta rounds of 1 vs. 100. It is a great idea, and pretty fun. A great chance to relax and play with a party of friends. I will probably play one or two more rounds but really wait for the series to go live. I want some prizes for my efforts!!!

Check back tomorrow as I finish up Wolverine, and push deeper into Fallout3.

Game Diary, Tuesday's game play

Tuesday was a busy video game day in general. I did a lot of web surfing during the day and random game play in the evening to extend the streak to 306 straight days. I was able to even sneak in a Call of Duty review posted below. I felt it was an OK review, not my best but it got the point across. On to the games.

Forza2 keeps finding a way back into the xbox. I knocked out another 2 races with the car generously donated by Major Nelson. Ranked up to level 31. Still can't believe how stingy this game is with the G's.

After Forza I popped in Call of Duty for a quick online match or two. Later in the evening I played NBA2K9 so more. This will be the first game I play 100 days, no question about it any more.

Late in the evening I had a night cap of Fallout3. I could play this game all night, and night time does seem appropriate to play this type of game. War.....war never changes.

Game Diary, Monday's game play

60 days and counting, what did I play to keep the streak alive? Read on to find out.

The afternoon started with a relaxing trip to Washington DC, post-apocalypse of course. Fallout3 was the flavor of the afternoon. I had the itch for more pipboy, and that DLC is calling my name. I have started an all new campaign to take advantage of the Level cap raised to 30. Patience.....

With all the rumors of a new Forza game in the works, I felt a need to play Forza2. I signed up for a free car from Major Nelson and was wondering if it was delivered yet. It was!! A nice new mustang. I had to take it out for a spin. It handled like a dream. Of course I won the race.

After dinner I knocked out another mission in Battlestations Midway. The game is pretty fun. No major, "Massive" battles as the cover taunts. The 50 page manual and 60 minute long tutorial had me worried.

Before, bed I dominated the LA Clippers in NBA2K9, pushing them 1 game closer to that final playoff spot. I am surprised on how well the new roster has come to together. No wonder why they gave the Celtics such a fuss in the first round.

Tomorrow promises more Fallout3, and possibly one more sport game. With TV winding down the video games will be picking up. Love it.

Thanks for reading.

Game Diary, Thursday's game play

Thursday was a great gaming day. I have a day off of work tomorrow so I stayed up late gaming. Only real highlight was 60 G's off of Kung Fu Panda. I am replaying the game on the hardest difficulty.

I played some NBA2K9, NHL09, Crack Down, and Blitz 2. I played a few tutorial missions on a new game called Battlestations Midway. Pretty complex controls and I did not get too far. I will comment later as I play on.
