I got Raiden V (XB1) for 12.50!

Determined not to lose any live money I took a chance and got deals with gold game Akai Katana for $4.99

was a little confused at first most shooters give you a option to see how the game is played when you start the game, not this one

its a bit more convoluted than that there are actually 3 versions of the game 2 really alter how you play I think one is just a higher difficulty of one of the modes (possibly)

Having received a warning that $10.05 in microsoft points were expiring Oct 8th ,16 I spent 7.50 on that on the Bandai Namco sale and got tales of vesparia and eternal sonato will probably wait til next weeks deal of the week to make my last I gotta spend it purchase.

most of last year when my 360 S was broken I dared not to spend money on games that I could not play, so with bing rewards I was earning points and giving myself gift cards for the sale items, in either 3,5, or 10 increments. well its mostly spent so much for waiting for a deal I had to have.

Actually I got it with my bing points, I rarely purchased games when my console was down knowing I would not get to play but for a few minutes but when it was on sale for cheap I went for it, I also got the Marvel Civil War table in Pinball FX 2.

No more console shutting down after 15 mins and staying off of Live for fear of being called a 'quitter' took me 2 years to do it, but my console work again.

Now to renew Gold to keep the games with gold rolling, and another HDD for all the games i've not had a chance to play.

'

I was a backer for the kickstarter and I got it for the Dreamcast i'm posting this really late I got about a month after Ghost Blade and still have, yet to give the game a serious go.

New Year blog! so Happy New Year!

xbox 360 still needs me to get a new brick and probably and HDD for all the games with gold i've been acquiring.

most of last year I could not decide which game to play Phantasy Star Online (offline) or .hack and with no clear decision being made I figured i'll switch every week pso on 1 and .hack on the other working a bit better than the no winners.

had it since October 1st, actually it stopped by on the September 30th but had to pick it up.

I'm not the greatest shump player (did I even say that right?) in the time i've had the game i've barely gotten to stage 3. with 3 ships by default that ships firing style available to you at the start you have some options to play with, the focus (X button) either makes the ship fire faster, or the ship with a spread shot brings it together to concentrate your firepower, at the cost of your speed (movement) . crippling firepower is a downfall for me sometimes I have to lay off the fire button to get good view of the enemies shots sometimes. not a review just a first impression from who is not gonna criticize it too much.

My laptop died so I haven't been able to hangout at my online hangouts Iike I usually do and it will probably be even longer before that's corrected.

xbox 360 S power brick was making funny (LOUD) noises now its quiet again but now the console just shuts off, so i'll be looking into replacing that.

still been picking up the games with gold but with the sales its kind of a what's the point until I get the console fixed. :(

I guess I got caught up in the hype for the new movie I bought a pre-owned Riddick Trilogy (Pitch Black, Dark Fury and Chronicles of Riddick) and started playing the (orignal gangsta) xbox to play Chronicles of Riddick : Escape from Butcher Bay. thx to the help from gamefaqs now I just need to see the new film :) more additions that I have'nt made time to play. free with gold games , but before that I did make time to try out Borderlands 2 (424) Defense Grid (425) Assassins Creed II (already have the disc) Crackdown (+disc) Dead Rising 2 Dead Rising Case Zero Magic the Gathering 2013 Ben 10 Rise of the Hex (due to a goof up on live)
