  A Belated "Games I Beat in '09"

  Since everyone else is doing it, I figured I'd give my obligatory list of games that I beat this past year.
  
  Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2
  Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway
  Battlefield: Bad Company
  Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
  Guitar Hero Metallica
  Wolfenstein 3D
  Left 4 Dead
  Halo 3: ODST
  Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
  Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War
  Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War
  
  Only 13 games last year...I guess that just goes to show how much busier I'm getting as I get older, and have less time to play video games and/or post blogs...so I'm sorry about that. But I guess that's just life.
  
  Alright well, have a good one everybody.

  So, I got this thing...it's called a PS3...

  Yeah, I bought one yesterday with money I had saved up. It's pretty awesome. I got the $500 160GB bundle. I also bought:
  
  Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (came with the bundle)
  Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (of course)
  Killzone 2 (loved the first one)
  SOCOM: Confrontation (loved all the other games in the series, plus it came with a bluetooth headset)
  
  Taken on Blu-Ray (awesome movie)
  Pineapple Express on Blu-Ray (hilarious)
  
  So I've played all of the games except MGS4. I'm saving that one for this summer so I can knock it out all at once. I beat the first level of Killzone 2, and it's pretty amazing. The graphics are astounding, and it seems to be following in the tradition of the first one with due improvements. SOCOM: Confrontation is pretty neat. Easy to pick up and play; I went 14/12 kill/death ratio my first round that I played. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting the bluetooth headset to pair with my PS3, so I'll have to mess around with that some more later. I've gotten through the first few levels of Uncharted, and I like it so far. It's cool how it's like a treasure hunt platformer and everything.
  
  So yeah my PSN ID is Rocker531, same as my 360 Gamertag, so all of you PS3 owners out there...feel free to send me a friend request.
  
  That reminds me, I haven't really been updating my blog a lot on here recently cause I've been really busy and....lazy. So I apologize that I haven't been keeping track of yall's blog as well. I guess I'll just see you guys around on XBL or PSN then.
  
  PEACE

  My 1st Anniversary of Having My 360...

  ...was yesterday, February 15th, 2009. I don't normally do this, but for everyone's sake, (mine because I'm a little tired right now, and yours to make it quicker to read) I'm going to do this blog in bullet format.

  - On Friday, I started Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, and I love it. Beat it within a day. Best graphics I've ever seen in a game, and an emotional story that really hits you hard when one of your squad mates gets killed off in a cutscene. Definitely the best in the Brothers in Arms series.
  - I found all the recon points/Kilroys in the game, so with those achievements plus the ones I got from just going through the game, this earned me 775 more points added to my Gamerscore.
  - Upon beating the last level, that brought my total Gamerscore over the 10,000 milestone, just one day before my one-year anniversary.
  - It's funny, because I told myself when I got my 360 that I wasn't going to become obsessive over getting all the achievements, and while I'm not quite at that point, I've often found myself going out of my way to get some achievements. (Not through boosting, though, lol)
  - So, although I earned over 10,000G in one year, I hardly consider myself to be an achievement whore (*CoughFrankthelizardCough*). Haha, just playing with ya Connor.
  - Also, a while back I really got into the game Rainbow Six Vegas 2. It's pretty addicting, and I like it a lot. I strove toward getting 100% of the achievements for it, but I only got to 735/1000 before I put it down for a while so that I wouldn't get sick of it.
  - Then, I really started to get into Assassin's Creed, and I'm currently on the final Assassination/Mission. The only achievements I have left for this game are all the flag ones, and of course the ones you get by finishing the game (Conversationalist, Hungerer of Knowledge, Disciple of the Creed, etc.) I plan on getting all the flags before moving on to the final mission though, because I don't see myself having any motivation to do so after beating the game.
  - Rock Band 2 is still awesome and addicting.
  - F.E.A.R. 2 and Shellshock 2 both look like awesome games, and I really want to get them soon.
  - Finally, I started watching the show 24 this season, and it's amazing. I definitely see why everyone likes this show.
  - That's it for now, guys! PEACE!
