  Beat Army of Two + other updates

  I beat Army of Two today for the first time. I've been playing it alongside my brother and we motored through the last half of it today. Definitely an enjoyable game, I'll be playing through it a few more times to buy all the guns and find all the intelligence things. I'm definitely looking forward to the sequel, too.

  I played the Left 4 Dead 2 demo as well. Very enjoyable, it's just L4D with a Southern feel. Best moment of the demo was decapitating zombies with a skillet. It even makes a big, loud thud. I'll eventually get to buying the full game when it's out, but not for a while.

  Speaking of L4D, I'm still playing through the first one. I also just bought the Crash Course DLC, which was more zombie goodness. I have a feeling I'll be playing it on and off for a long time to come.

  I've been busy on Goozex, too. I recently received Oblivion and Crackdown in the mail (both for 360) and Brutal Legend and Assassin's Creed are both arriving next week. Very excited.

  When I get those two games, that will bring my unplayed backlog to six. Six games I haven't even started yet on the 360. Yeah, I have no reason to go out and actually buy a new game when I can get a whole bunch for very cheap through Goozex.

  What a letdown, TFC

  Toronto FC needed to win last night. In the last game of the season, they needed to win to move on to the MLS playoffs. They even played the worst team in the league, four-win New York. It was the last soccer game to be played at Giants Stadium before the Red Bulls move into their shiny new stadium, Red Bull Arena.

  Toronto lost.

  5-0.

  On the bright side, however, it means big changes in Toronto. Their coach will probably be out, as well as a number of players. They should make some good offseason acquisitions and should be a better team next year. Or I hope they will.

  Be A Pro (NHL 10) and TFC's playoff push

  I recently shelled out for a 12-month Xbox Live Gold card, so I won't have to worry about renewing until next fall. I've also discovered how fun NHL 10's Be A Pro mode is. It's a great game mode, toiling in the minor leagues and hoping for a shot with the big team. Really exciting.

  In other sports news, Toronto FC has one game remaining on its regular season schedule. It holds the final playoff spot and will need to win at New York this coming weekend to qualify for the playoffs. It would be TFC's first playoff appearance in its short, three-year history.

  I also beat Puzzle Quest, just needing an Xbox Live match win to complete the achievements for it. Any takers?
