Well I hope everybody has had a wonderful weekend so far. I got to go out to dinner last night with a wonderful friend and watch the hockey game (Montreal Canadiens vs. Toronto Maple Leafs). What an awesome game it was! I never have seen such a great game in a long time, both in playing as well as in how it got so brutal! Those two teams were really playing well and it was very intense. It all came down to a shootout and yes... the Montreal Canadiens won! YEA!

In gaming news... I just passed the 30K mark on my XBox 360 Achievment Score! Whoo Hoo!

I just passed my 2 year mark of playing on that system and feel this is a pretty decent score for me being I don't play everyday. I did recently upgrade to the XBox Elite and really do like it alot... being I can now write my games to the hard drive and play more quietly, plus it stays so much cooler too!

Now to work towards 40K! I am making slow but steady progress after one of my friends (trying to pass her score) but she is such an awesome gamer... I don't know if that is going to happen soon... but I will give it my best! She was miles ahead of my... but look! Who is that coming around the corner Miss Morphine??? Yes... it is I Sandpiper121PP! Can I pass your Achievement Score??? Only time will tell!

I have been playing games as well this weekend as well... but still have not yet finished Batman.

Don't get me wrong... it is a great game... but for some reason I just cannot get into it for over 1/2 hour at a time. It has the most amazing graphics and the story is pretty good too... but I just cannot seem to get really into it. I know it is a truely amazing game... and I am not putting it down... but for me it just seems to be missing something. Maybe I am at a certain point in the game and I will get the spark I need to keep going.

I did however pick up CSI: Deadly Intent.

I love puzzle games like that where you have to put it all together and figure out the crime, who did it, and why. The first one was pretty good... but they really did a great job on this one. You now can pan around the room and interact with all different objects in the room. You are also scored by how well you do in the following three catagories. Skill (Lab Work), thoroughness (how well you do your investigative work looking for clues) and then Cunning (how well you interogate the witness). This time there is a twist though where you are graded not just on how well you do in these catagories... but if you mess up too. If you analize something wrong, or ask an improper question without cause or proof to back it up, your final score will suffer. It really makes you a better detective in the game, knowing you must watch your every step. If you love detective/puzzle games, I recommend it for you!

It is also the official 10 day countdown now to yes... Call of Duty : Modern Warfare 2!

I so am ready for this game to come out! I actually decided not to go to the midnight release of it... simply because I am getting the Prestige Edition. Because of the cost of it... and the area I live in... I don't feel safe getting that at a midnight release party, only to step outside with the chance of being robbed. I think I will wait until after work to pick it up when there is more daylight.

Remember if you haven't already to set your clocks back! Yea!!! We all gained an hour!!!

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend and week too! I pray God Blesses each of you in your daily lives and that you have happiness where ever you may roam!

Congrats on passing the 30k mark and i agree Batman has amazing graphics......

Congratulations for the achievements score, you are far ahead of the competition.
I have played the demo of Batman, and I haven't decided whether I'm interested in this game, or not. I liked the atmosphere of the settings, but I don't like the Batman character himself. That's a problem..I think.

Nice! I better watch it or you may end up passing me too...lol. The BAtman gaem.. I know why your not into it as much.. Your just not a Batman fan.. I mean sure you like him, but maybe your more of a SUperman girl..lol.. IDK just a thought.

Congrats on the gamerscore. I can't wait for Modern Warfare 2; it looks awesome.

I don't think you are in Recreation zone anymore

Good to see the Canadiens won. I'm not really a hockey fan, but I since I live in Ottawa it will make it easy to harass the folks in our Toronto office

A friend of mine loves the CSI games. Have fun!

I am glad you had a good time. Unfortunately, I didn't. I did badly in an assignment. Beats me how that happened.

I totally forgot about the time change lol. Yup, 10 days till Modern Warfare 2. Tik tok tik tok
Posted Nov 1, 2009 7:23 pm PT

I really want to play the new Batman game.

Congrats on beating 30k on xbl Like you I still have to finish Batman (on the PS3) but I think I'll first play the amazing Uncharted 2.

Batman Arkham Asylum is not all that great meh, I bought it yesterday! Every one was raving about it including my all my favorite gaming magazine! Well to be honest I couldn't think of any other game I would have liked to play.

I am a big fan of adventure games I have also played CSI, the one with the death in the art gallery. Well I must say I have played better puzzle games....

It is nice that you went out for dinner and watched a game. Socializing is fun

Batman's a great game
Posted Nov 3, 2009 1:55 pm PT
ooooo yea batman im a really big fan XD never played the new game tho
Posted Nov 3, 2009 7:21 pm PT
I can't believe you're actually going to play MW2 ... no dedicated servers , no modding tools , 9v9 matches , etc ... it's going to be a massive flop .
