Video Game Weekly Roundup
Well since I ONCE AGAIN botched my attempt to contribute to the monthly 12 of 12, I decided to take a moment (while I have it) and let you kids in on what I’m playing in the land of video games.
Even though most of these you know already, I did manage to get a second yesterday and rip open the cover to a brand newbie! (much to my wife’s displeasure)
So before I have to clean out my kid’s nose again, (his first cold), here’s what’s real’ good on the streets…
Super Mario Galaxy
Sometimes, a game comes along that you just have to take your time with… Super Mario Galaxy is such a game. Breaking my streak of not playing Wii games, this was still AWESOME. If you missed my brief review on it, check it out here and better yet – If you don’t have it, buy it today!
Guitar Hero III
My love for this game never dies… Especially when you haven’t beaten it yet. It’s funny looking back now that I didn’t have that much interest in it until my boy showed me some You Tube videos of just how hard the songs in this game are. I mean, I loved the previous games but they just weren’t difficult enough for me. Well, I have 2 songs left on Expert. The very last one, Devil Went Down to Georgia and *sigh* Raining Blood. That song is just SOOOO hard.
I took a bit of a sabbatical from Expert and went back to beat the game on easier levels to knock down all those Achievements which is awesome, but certainly amping up the potential for carpel tunnel. I didn’t know how bad it was until I had to hold a regular controller to try and play…
Call of Duty 4
I’ll probably do a review of this sometime in the near future, but so far I’m definitely finding it to be a solid game. Now even though I’m not the biggest FPSer out there, I had to buy it because my friends were telling me it was the best shooter ever made. … I’ll say this (to tease my review) …
I love Halo…
Never fell in love with Counter Strike…
Call of Duty is a Solid Game.

I am surprised there are not XBox Live Arcade games in this. Since playing the Trial games no longer effects your Gamercard I turned on Auto-Downloading and some of them are really cool.
Be sure to checkout Undertow.

@Apexad – Yeah man, you have a point. I guess recently it’s all been about GH3. And then my fingers start crying out in pain so then I start switching to other games. But I will check out Undertow on your advice. (#):)

Played the demo of COD 4 , awesome and immersive game. I am going to purchase it in the coming weeks.

@Madhur – Oh yeah! I don’t know how the demo was but did it start out in that tanker? Too sweet!

I know what I’m going to be doing on Christmas Day — Super Mario Galaxy baby! Woo-hoo!
Hey buddy, would you consider going to full posts in your feed? I promise to still visit you if you do.

@Mark – You know my man, I JUST noticed that the other week. I forget why I was looking at my feed and I saw that all my stuff was like 2 lines long! And with my posts lately, I don’t think people are enjoying the two line posts.
I’ll get it switched back soon but I think what did it was when I upgraded to Wordpress 2.3.1! AY YI YI
And on a side note, if you’re looking to get some stuff done. Do not start playing Mario Galaxy OR Zelda : Twighlight Princess! HA HA
