this morning i sat in front of my television with my xbox 360 on and looked through all the games... eight... that i have yet to complete, completely... achievement and gamerscore wise.

i decided this morning that i am finished with smackdown vs. raw 2009 and command and conquer tiberium wars, about a year after purchasing the games. i will continue with leisure suit larry: box office bust and tick off two more achievements of that game. there are three that i have achieved little which are avatar, viva pinata and dead space. i will continue playing command and conquer red alert 3.

ever since i bought my xbox 360 arcade console... may last year, achievements have become an obsession. i get annoyed when i see people on gamespot say that they don't play xbox 360 games for the gamerscore, as it makes me feel like a moron.

i bought the latest issue of xbox magazine this past thursday. there were delivery problems of the magazine getting to new zealand this time, but i haven't checked my message on the official xbox magazine forums as to what was the problem.

when tristan, the former editor of xbox magazine australia and new zealand left... i feel that nic just isn't making the grade with the magazine so far. it has been six months. when tristan was editor, there were more demos on the discs, more content in the magazines and bad, but funny, reviews in almost every issue which were a pleasure to read.

apparently tristan has moved on to online work to do with gaming but he didn't tell us what that was. i miss him.
