The 360 has been getting a fair amount of play, and while I was worried when I first got it that I wouldn’t have the time to get a lot of achievements or play it a lot, it’s turned out pretty well, enough to feel like I’m on place to get 10,000 points a year, which for me isn’t bad, and I’m at 1,200 points after the first month, without the need for any “whoring” of games like King Kong (although I may have to at least play ‘em to see how easy it is!)
The latest purchases have been:
- The XBox Live Vision camera (Gold Kit Version) – I needed to extend my Gold membership for one more year anyways, and this allowed me to do it, get the camera, get a free arcade game, give a friend Uno, have an extra headset, AND get the camera for $80. Not too shabby! Anyways, the camera has proven quite useful for Uno games and video chat (although I have noticed more crashes then before, and it happens to everyone in the room), and the other goodies have only complimented what I already own for the 360.
- Returned Rockstar Presents Table Tennis to GameFly … I hope to get Madden 07 next from them. Bought Test Drive Unlimited, as the concept of a completely open ended racing world was very intriguing to me, and the reviews, while not praising it as the best racer ever, were certainly good. I would agree with them. It was worth what I paid, and I’ll enjoy it even more once I’ve completed some of the single player games and have the kind of cars to do some damage in the persistent online world (which is an awesome idea by the way).
