So I haven’t talked about my gaming habits recently (and yes, I still have them) so I figured I’d talk about some stuff.
Firstly, the games on the docket:
- Crackdown (XBox 360) – I’ve finished the game and am enjoying working on getting achievements. This is one of the best games I’ve played in a while and…yeah. It’s just really really good. I’m hoping to get into some co-op soon.
- Guitar Hero 2 (Xbox 360) – I’ve beaten the game on Hard and I’m going through it on Expert. I have two more set lists to finish before I’m done with this. It’s a pretty sweet game. And I’m hoping I can get past the last two set lists soon.
Those are the two of been playing the most recently. I just started taking the bus, so I should be brining my DS fully back into the fold agin. I also got a hold of the Trust Bell (Eternal Sonata) beta a few weeks ago. The game seems pretty solid, so I’m really looking forward to that and Blue Dragon. Should be a lot of good rpgs coming this summer, and I’m really psyched about it. I’ve been pretty busy so I’ve done a lot more Live Arcade playing than anything else; mainly because those games are easier to pick up and play in bursts.
I was going to comment on the recent sales numbers of consoles, but that isn’t really topical and I just don’t feel I’d add anything to it. I’m interested to see how things play out over the coming months. I’m especially interested to see how long the Wii can sustain the kinds of sales it is.
Oh, and watching the PS3 flounder is just fun to watch.

So I’m fully back into gaming (thank God), and it feels really good. I’ve been revisiting a lot of games on my DS, as well as my 360. So yeah, what I’m currently playing:

I’m going to be on a bit of a gaming hiatus over this next week. I have at least one interview with a team in Redmond within the next 10 days. I’ve told a few people where I’m interviewing, but I want to keep it on the down low for a bit. This whole situation is covered in irony, which I will go into after said interview.

Ok, so I just realized how much I’ve been spoiled by the XBox 360 and it’s online community stuff. Because of the gamercard, things like MyGamerCard.net and 360 Voice are possible, and damnit, I demand this from more of my devices. Or at least, I don’t know, my Wii. Or how about my Zune? My blog needs more hooks to these things for me, and I can’t because there currently isn’t anything in place, and…and…I want it.
Seriously, I never realized how spoiled I have become till I realized I wanted to put what my Mii on my site. Suddenly I couldn’t do that. There’s no slick and awesome way of including my favorite Zune tracks in an email signature (I actually see my gamercard tags in email signatures at work). The Zune thing I find truly funny since the slogan is “Join the Social” Sure, I raved about this when I first go the 360, but I kind of just took it for granted. All this community stuff…I need it. I expect it.
I understand that there are people who don’t want that level of information to be available about them, but there are privacy settings for just that reason. I, on the other hand, like letting people know what I like to play and listen to. Shoot, I actively blog about it.
You have me hooked, XBox Division, you have me truly hooked.
