Beat TimeShift

Finally beat TimeShift. This game is actually a pretty long game. Its very fun. The boss at the end was easier than many parts during the game. The game could be difficult at times but it was more or less about strategy and using your time controls wisely.

Overall... I give this game a personal 8.5 (and thats judging harshly). I loved it! Very gory. People litterally explode into 10 pieces. Very bloody.

Cool game!

Thank me later...

Beat Spiderman

I just beat Spiderman: Web of Shadows. In my opinion, you just can't go wrong with a Spiderman video game. There's so much "free-play." For example, I like picking up a civilian, swinging up the highest building I can and being mean.
  • First I tried setting them down on top of the building and pushing them off. Didn't work.
  • Next (while still on the building top), I picked them back up and tried "setting them down" off the edge. Cleverly, they catch the ledge.
  • Soooo.... I picked up the civilian and just jumped off the side, immediately pressing the button to "set the down," releasing the civilian in mid air. It worked! Spidey actually let go. However, he curteously creates a parachute out of spider web. You get to watch them slowly make their way down to a soft landing.

They think of everything. The funny thing is... as mean as I feel to even attempt this... lots of people out there must do this because the company goes to so many measures of creating ways of stopping it. Funny.

Maybe I'll have better luck in my Superman Returns game. Take someone up high and "bye, bye."

Back on track though... the game was fun. You will NEVER get all the spider tokens. It has to be impossible. However, I did manage to get enough tokens and points to build all my stats to their max. Oh... and how in the world are you supposed to know all those answers to Wolverine's interrigating questions when Spidey first encounters him???

NEW XBOX 360!!!


This is (sad to say...) my third system now. XBOX is starting to disappoint me. However, I had so many games already and so many accessories that I couldn't just let them go to waste and get a different kind of system. So, I got another one (I got $30 off in my reward points so I ended up paying $184).

In my experience (again, sad to say...), the Xbox 360 has a lifespan of about 2 years. I figure, in two years if it crashes on me again (a third time), I'll either be sick of XBOX or the next system will be out.

But in any case, I've got a new one now. Havn't even taken it out of the box yet (it BETTER work...).

Didn't Make It!


Turns out the "fix" was only temporary. I gave a nice ceremonial speech about the 360 and our good times, payed my respects and layed it to rest. Until we meet again...

I used to love Tony Hawk on older systems. Never played one on the 360. Now I'll have the chance.

It Worked!!!


It's ALIVE!!!!

After about 2 hours of tampering with things... I finally did it right. I looked up some info for computer savvy folk on completely tearing down the 360 and solving the issue. I played my spiderman game today for about an hour and a half. So, its working (as of now)!!

AWESOME!!!

Take a look at my Xbox in pieces.



Die Fighting...


I've read up on some things and feel comfortable completely stripping down my 360 (COMPLETELY). I'm used to taking apart computers and so forth so I figured... what the heck.... what do I have to lose?

So, right now, I'm in the waiting period. I have to wait for the system to cool, reassemble, and test it out.

I'll let you know if this works. If it does... I may just begin a little business fixing ring-of-death xbox's. Ha! Microsoft repair dudes... move aside. My next blog will tell the results and if I'm a complete failure.

R.I.P.



Today I was playing Spiderman on my Xbox 360. Little did I know this was the last game I'd play on it. The system began to freeze up. At first, I thought it was the game. I took the game out and restarted the system. It was "hit and miss." It would freeze, then it wouldn't. Sometimes it would make it pass the intro xbox logo and sometimes not.

I researched and came up with an "overheating" problem. So, I shut down the console and waited a while (for it to cool). After a while I turned it back on. Put in a game and "zap"... it froze up again. No red lights (yet). Just freezes every single time. I still have 2 more games coming in the mail for the xbox.

So, my future plans are now to build a gaming computer, buy a 360 controller for it and mount my 360 dvd drive in the computer and play my games still, also opening the door to PC games. Set it up in the same room and get a video card that I can hook up to a TV. That's really not that much more expensive than purchasing another 360.

So... cry for me today... this STINKS!

New Game!


Okay. I'm officially addicted for real. Who can pass up great deals. I got this game in MINT condition for $9.50. Not too bad at all. Can't wait to get it in.

CHEAP GAMES!

Gamer's Factory

This is a great site for cheap games that I just came across. I've already sorted everything on this site so you should be able to click and go. The good thing about this place is that everything is "Buy It Now." Therefore, you see a game and price you like... (some REALLY low prices), click and buy. Another good thing is that MOST of these games are "brand new" still wrapped. Check it out... you just may find a something you like.


eBay (filtered)
This is simply eBay but I've taken the liberty of filtering out down to the nitty gritty the cheapest priced games with free shipping. Nothing is over $9.99. It's also sorted to the listings ending soonest. This way you can simply go there and catch a great deal thats still below $9.99 in the last few moments and practically steal it. Just remember to log in before bidding. You'll lose a great deal that. TRUST ME!





Best Buy Online Outlet
This is basically Best Buy's eBay page. When they get returns and so forth, instead of repackaging them, they just sell them on eBay for mullah! Here's where you can get games and accessories for fairly cheap prices that are guaranteed by Best Buy to work. They even come with warranties to give you money back if something is wrong. How cool is that? Check it out! (read the warranty information)





New Egg (filtered)
New Egg is a place that sells just about everything. I went to a website once searching for the lowest price on a game. It took me to this place called New Egg. I've already took the liberty of searching for Xbox 360 games and sorting it by the cheapest game first. You'll find great deals here for your desired game (unless its a new release... new releases are normally priced). Older games are dirt cheap. Most games have free shipping as well. Its definately worth mentioning so I posted it up here!



Good Luck!

New Game!

Just got yet another new game. It's called "Fracture." You should check out the demo for it. Its pretty cool. Definately worth $9.99. I can't help. I'm addicted to buying cheap games from eBay. Check out my personal blog on how to filter your searches to get better results. I did what's on my blog except now I sort it by adding "Very Good" to my conditions I'm willing to accept. This game was Like New at $9.99 free shipping. Not bad. Can't wait to get around to it. I have so many games I havn't even played yet.

I Beat Kung Fu Panda!

Just beat Kung Fu Panda! Sad to say... its really quite addicting and fun. The Panda is hilarious. For achievement sake, I now have to beat it on level easy and hard.

New Game!


I can't help myself. I'm going eBay crazy! On my personal blog, I have tips on how to find games really cheap on eBay. Well, I've been tasting my own medicine lately and its been working pretty good.

This game may seem cheesy but at least its a "clean" game. No profanity or gore. Its a Disney game for crying out loud! Ha.

Landed this sucker for $8.00 even (free shipping). Not so bad for a 360 game.
