DAYYYYYUM! finally!!! Seriously, this one took forever. 26,000-27,000 took 58 hours. 27,000-28,000 took 59 days! Mostly, I blame Sony (damn FFXII and Metal Gear Ac!d). Read on:
Days since 27,000: 59 days
Forza Motorsport 2 (311 points) - A great game, through and through. Better than any Gran Turismo. And I can't rave enough about the customization system, it really lets me express my artistic side. But the racing is pretty cool, too ;).
Test Drive Unlimited (20 points) - Finally got that online trade achievement, since the trade servers were down for months. Also played through with my dyaballikl id and got all the same achievements.
Lego Star Wars II (40 points) - Meh. Didn't really do anything for me after about 30 minutes.
College Hoops 2K7 (350 points) - Not bad as a basketball game. 2k does a pretty good job at these college games, I'd put them above any of the pro games. Hoops 2k7 is a lot of hassle, though, if you're just looking for achievements. Not as easy as you'd think.
Pinball FX (0 points) - Pinball FX is ****. Ok, so, as far as pinball games go, it's ok. BUT WHO THE **** WANTS TO PLAY A VIRTUAL PINBALL GAME?! Wait, WHAT?! IT'S $10?!?!?!?! FOR A VIRTUAL PINBALL GAME?!?!?!?! Ok, count to ten, this doesn't really affect me that much, it's just a sign of the downfall of downloadable gaming and gaming itself as we know it.
Eets: Chowdown (0 points) - Grrr, all these XBLA games, I'm having trouble remembering which ones were which. I do remember this game did seem like fun, but not much like something I cared to shell out cash for. Anyway, next...
Catan (0 points) - Gabe and Tycho rave about it, but I just can't muster the motivation to get into it. Apparently, with a little imagination, it's a great game, though.
3D Ultra Minigolf (0 points) - A rather mediocre mini golf game with a $10 price tag. PASS!!!!
Jetpac Refueled (0 points) - A simple game. Could be fun, kinda reminds me of Chu Chu Rocket (having surprisingly little to do with the next game on my list), which was a very fun puzzle game for the Dreamcast. Definitely overpriced, though. I won't be buying it for that price.
Boom Boom Rocket (0 points) - A total DDR ripoff, but I'm okay with that. I really like DDR, and Boom Boom Rocket was a cool concept. If it wasn't 10 frickin bucks, I'd totally consider getting it.
Centipede and Millipede (0 points) - IMO, wasn't that great 20 years ago, why would it be great now? Dunno, just had to make sure.
Doom (0 points) - What can I say, I'm totally hooked on this game. I also got my Mom to play this. We kinda bonded over this game when it was first out, so we both have really good memories of it. Inspired Columbine, my ass!
Marble Blast Ultra (0 points) - Another game that's a lot of fun just to pick up and play sometimes. I got my Mom hooked on this game, although she can't get past about level 25.
Geometry Wars Evolved (0 points) - Can't stop picking this game up. Even though I suck at it and can't get over 140,000. Still a very fun game for all. Got my Mom to play it a bit, actually. She made it to 10,000!
Viva Pinata (40 points) - I really only got this game for my brother's step kids. They didn't really like it. I played for a bit, got a little bored with it. Not really my kinda game, although, since I bought it, I'll probably wind up playing it again, heard the achievements were easy, and the game was only $30.
Earth Defense Force 2017 (0 points) - I only got to play this game for a day because it was way over due to the video store, but it seems like a really cool arcade ****crazy Japanesey game that I could get into, if I get it again and have more time. The achievements seem way too simple, but I would enjoy picking it back up again.
