Current Gen Games - No Really

So I finally got back on my 360 for the first time in ages for something besides streaming video from my computer tonight. I checked out the XBA release "I Made a Game with Zombies" and the Brutal Legend Demo. Really liked both games and am looking forward to playing the full BL game. Now the question is, do I go ahead and buy BL now, or finish the 7 or 8 games that are sitting on my shelf first? My guess is that I need to wrap up some previous purchases first before the holiday season and CODMW2 and LFD2 suck up all of my time. Currently I have the following games sitting unfinished or worse, upopend, on my shelf:

  • Oblivion (may NEVER finish this one)
  • Prince of Persia
  • Condemned 2
  • Ninja Gaiden 2
  • Orange Box & Portal (I know, welcome to 2006 eh?)
  • Afro Samurai
  • Gears - Dark Corners (can't get motivated for this one)
  • Fable II
  • The Darkness (never opened this one)
  • COD4 (never opened - GASP!)
  • Fallout 3 (opened, but never played)
  • Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (never finished SP)

So perhaps I really do need to work on my backlog of games first. What do you folks thinK?

Special Appearance by - Waterborn

So I recieved a DM via Twitter today from Mr. Derek "DSmooth" Nolan asking if I was up to anything tonight and if not, if I would fill in for CodeMonkey as the co-host for the podcast tonight. At first I was rather honored, as I knew that Mr. "I Piss Excellence" had been courting Joss Whedon and Major Nelson for 2old2type Episode 100. Not bad company. However, I was soon to find out that I was to co-host the interim Episode "99.5". So much for being held in great esteem. Seriously though, I had a blast shooting the shit with DSmooth and recording the next episode (or half episode I guess) with him. So check it out this Friday and let me know what you think of my 2old2type debut.

Now back to Robotron . . . . . .

I was in the same boat recently - with a ton of games I'd picked up from Blockbuster B1G1 deals - and I went with the "play through the backlog." The advantage to that, particularly as referenced above, was that I could capitalize on a good trade in deal that Gamestop was running, so I essentially got paid to beat all the games and/or did not have to pay a dime for my upcoming timesuckers - Borderlands and Modern Warfare 2. First things first - you should beat COD4 single player and trade it in while it still has value over $15. Once MW2 hits, there goes the price. I'm playing through Fallout 3 for the second time now, it's a sinkhole of time and entertaining at that. Condemned and the Darkness are both worth a run and about 10-15 hours of play each. Fable II isn't bad and probably has a good 30-40 hours or so, I'd guess. Orange Box and Portal are outstanding. Hoowee. You're bringing back memories.
