So I'm thinking about making an Xbox Live account for the first time, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to retain the current Gamerscore that I have. Is it possible to keep the points I have already built up when I make a gold account, or am I doomed to simply making a brand new name and starting from scratch?

This answer will probably determine if I actually get it or not.

I know exactly what you mean sir...This is a blog I made yesterday that is all too fitting for this topic. Check it.

My primary gaming system is the Xbox 360 (Elite). I own pretty much any title that is worth owning right now. Any others, I have most likely played.

Everything from the outstanding Oblivion right down to the God-awful Sneak King. In and out. Through and through. Start to finish... (Yes, even online.)

But here lately, it seems like I keep finding myself searching retail store after retail store, flea markets, online sites, and even yard sales in a vulture like fashion for any new or used games that might strike my fancy...The thing is -- I keep getting disappointed.
I do super amounts of research online, in magazines, through word of mouth, playing demos, all that...but I simply cannot find any games right now that jump out and scream, "Buy me! I'm good!"

Every game that I've looked forward too or gotten "hyped" about in the past 6 months has been a major let down. (i.e. Too Human, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed and so on.) Granted there are things on the way that will undoubtedly deliver (i.e. Fable 2, Left 4 Dead and so on) but I feel that being a core gamer means I shouldn't have to wait...right?

So I guess my question is...
Is there something wrong with me...or the games?

Two options...

1. Rent, like, buy.
2. Rent, dislike, bash online.

Either way, it'll be a renter before I determine if I should buy it or not. Jam.

I just read about the new Batman game coming out. I saw that it will be produced by a company named Rocksteady Studios. I've never heard of them and I don't what games they've made that are worth noticing. So instead of googling it, I figured I'd be social and see what everyone else had to say about it. So which games have they made and is it possible that they could truly make a Batman game that'll please?

:question:

I'm just thinking about the sales pitch they would use...

"The Red Ring of Death. Now available in handheld form!"

;)
