i was able to clean up the rest of the achievements on 50 cent: blood on the sand this afternoon that i could. i have learnt that the other ten achievements that you are rewarded with by playing as a g-unit member is only co-op. i don't have xbox live and so i can't connect and play with someone else somewhere else and get those achievements. the game however has been one hell of a ride. in my review, i talk about playing for nine hours straight and after that, my body and my head were so tired. it was cool. i gave the game a seven.

for some unknown reason, the thought of playing viva pinata: trouble in paradise makes me cringe. perhaps i will leave it till last before i play other games. i rented avatar a few months ago so i might rent it again and get more gamerscore. that game is kind of like blood on the sand. do you know what? i had a dream last night in my bed that i was playing the james cameron film. gaming in my dreams? its true.

another game that makes me cringe is dead space. it is dead space and viva pinata that are making me feel like playing them is a chore. 50 cent: blood on the sand was a non-stop shoot em' up for hours on end and i enjoyed it. red alert 3 can take hours for only some missions and that makes the game immersive.

there is another good 1500g that i should be able to score with the current games on my system, which are those above. my gamerscore, by the way, if you haven't been reading my comments... is 3600. small. i have had my xbox 360 for just over a year and i get over 500g on every game but so far... viva pinata, dead space and avatar i have achieved next to nothing.

yesterday i was in eb games andi saw tomb raider legend and tomb raider underworld at bargain bin prices. if it wasn't for viva pinata and dead space, i would have bought them both and started on them when i got home. nevertheless, those two games are two i would like to play. lara croft is truly a gaminglegend.
