So I bought Alien Hominid HD on XBLA last wednesday and I am absolutely pleased with it. The graphics are great, the gameplay is exciting, and the price is right. I give it an 8.1.

Since I will be getting almost $900 back from the government on my tax return, I also ordered Guitar Hero 2. I was torn between the PS2 version and the 360 version, but I already have GH, so I went with the PS2 to get the second controller. The game is cheaper this way too, so that's a plus. I got it for 10% off yesterday at redoctane.com and it came with a free "gig bag" for the guitar. I'm extremely excited and I know it will screw with my upcoming exams.

By the way, check out the achievements for the 360 version if you want to buy it. Some of them look insane, although I heard the point values are roughly doubled for this game compared to the first.

See you online.
