Finished Gears of War and Drakkhen this last week. I have had Gears since it came out, so hopefully now I can get started on Lost Planet. I've got the week off so I am hoping to get some gaming in. Maybe I will take Gears online instead and also get some fights in Samurai Showdown V. It doesn't look good for me getting the 1500 pts for the free copy of Contra. It just is too much work and time and I am not going to go out and rent a game to get an easy 1000 pts just to get a 5 dollar game for free. That would just be dumb. So we will see how many I end up with. The deadline is soon enough. I ended up not picking up Castlevania for 360. I just lost interest. I guess I just beat that game too many times and played too many similar sequels. The controls seemed stiff but I am sure it is just me. I was really excied about that one to. I have yet to buy 360 Arcade game. I just keep putting it off. Worms is sweet but 10 is too much for a game I already own; I am still wanting Meyhem. Street Fighter will be worthless if a new BC update comes out with SFC on it. Time Pilot is a classic and I like the update but this will be the 3rd time I've bought it. I just watched Ghost in the Shell 2. The blending of traditional animation and CG worked well. I just need to find a version that has better subtitles.
