PermalinkWeek #37 - The Calm Before The Storm
It seems like I haven't bought hardly any games all year. There were a few that came out right New Years...but the last few months have been stale. I've picked up a few used games here and there, but not many new games.

Well, it looks like next week will change all of that - because Borderlands 2 is going to change all of that. There is not any game that I'm more excited and have been anticipating all year. This is my game of the year. Even with that said the next three months few months are going to be brutal (and even after that into the new year).

Dishonored, Port Royale 3, Fable: The Journey, Skylanders: Giants, Assassin's Creed 3, Halo 4, NASCAR The Inside Line (yes, I'm a fan). I'm sure there a few I've left out and no I'm not a CoD fan. But with Christmas and some birthdays coming up, this is going to get expensive. That's besides the fact that I'm also getting a new PC with Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface Tablet (although I may wait for the high end one that comes out later). For people saying there are no good games coming out, clearly you must live under a skag pile.

On to the stats portion of this, I actually did some good this week.

Gamerscore: 208,507 (+1,575)
Completion %: 64.87 (+0.06)
Achievements: 67
New Games Started: 4
Games Completed: 3 (1 Retail/2 Arcade)

I did get the Men In Black game from Gamefly so I'll be boosting up another 1,000 soon. I may just reach 230,000 before the end of the year. I guess that depends on how much time I spend on Borderlands 2 lol.

For those of you who have Facebook, you should "like" the blog that I write for now (since teamxbox.com got shutdown). It's a smaller site, but we are gaining momentum every day.

PermalinkTHINGS THAT GO [BLEEP]! - Week #32, 2012
We draw ever closer to the day that Borderlands 2 comes in. My excitement builds a little more each day! After Borderlands 2 comes out, there probably won't be too many more games that I will pick up this year. Well, aside from the collector's edition of Assassin's Creed III because that flag is wicked awesome.

I finally finished my first run on Normal through Darksiders 2. It's a great game. It could still use a few improvements, but you can tell that Vigil Games actually tried to improve the game (which they did). The RPG elements were much need in this game. I'll have my review posted up sometime tomorrow at TeamXbox.com.

One thing I learned about reviews is that sometimes they are easier to write AFTER the game has come out. I'm not complaining at all, but you can't talk too much about the storyline of a game for fear of ruining it for everyone else. But again, not complaining - it's just something to get used to smile

Well, my quest for the Top 10 in Tennessee has been a bit weird. I know that #1 in TN is impossible unless Stallion83 gives up after 1 million. But #2 was going to be doable. Well unfortunately, it is definately doable now because jds78 got removed from the site. He sat about 250k ahead of me and it was going to be a challenge, but I wanted to see if I could do it. But now, #2 sits only about 90K ahead of me. So, while I hope jds78 gets added back to the site - it doesn't look good, I will continue my quest for #2!

I think I'll pass on the stats again this week. I still track them through a spreadsheet every week. I'm OCD, I know...

Aside from Borderlands 2, my next few reviews will be for Skylanders: Giants, Nascar: The Inside Line, & Fable: The Journey. I may get the new Sherlock Holmes game as well. I enjoyed the first one and this second one looks even better.

Speaking of Skylanders: Giants, I may get to do an interview with their developer. If there are any questions you all can think of that you'd want to ask them let me know and I'll throw it in there!

Until next week! Excelsior!

Wow, I didn't realize that it's been so long since I've done one of these. I guess I've gotten a bit side-tracked, especially with all that's going on here recently.

Such as I got to interview Orsolya Toth from Neocore Games

As well as getting my Wreckateer review done, which wasn't one of my best reviews ever...I confess.

Recently I received Darksiders II in the mail and have been playing the hell out of it. For those of you sitting on the fence with this game: If you loved the first one, you will more than likely love this one as well. Although I can't talk about the game too much before it releases, I can say that they improved on the first game quite a bit. There's a lot more platforming, bigger areas, and lots and lots of loot!

My review for Darksiders 2 goes up on August 14th @ TeamXbox

After that's done, I get the wait a few more weeks and hopefully I'll get a Borderlands 2 copy in early as well to review it. Borderlands 2 is by far my most anticipated game for 2012. Not Halo, Call Of Duty, or Assassin's Creed. BORDERLANDS 2! So what are you all looking forward to the rest of this year?

I'm going to pass on putting stats up today. I'll try to get back to putting these bad boys up more often. Strangely, I don't have as many followers as I thought I once did...maybe everyone got tired of hearing me ramble on. Either way, to all of my friends out there FOLLOW MY BLOG, please? smile

But if you have any questions, comments, or whatever - feel free to leave them!
