The Iceman's Game Journal

After seeing Tim's Game Diary, I started this blog to give me some incentive to actually finish some of the 461+ video games I have (of which I have finished 41.) Hope it works.

2000 Points!!!!

This morning around 1 I passed the 2000 points mark for my Game Score! I got the Strikeouts X 15 achievement in The Bogs. Lost the game I was playing 4-7, but at least I got lots of achievements and passed 2000 points.

According to the Spotlight tab (are they tabs? Or are they still Blades? Or are they something else? Oh well.) Fable 2 is now $39.99.

Think someone needs to tell Walmart, since it was still $59.99 when I was there yesterday. Might have gotten it if it had been marked down.

On the plus side, they broke street date on the new Wolverine game, which was supposed to be out on Friday, but was sitting on the shelf.

Yeah, the people running the local Walmart are idiots.

3 worms with 1 Sheep--Worms

I was going to play the demo for Worms the other day, when I realised that it was only 400 points, the exact amount I had in my account! So of course I bought it.

I just got the Three-Bagger achievement by killing 3 enemy worms at once. I used a Sheep to kill 2, detonating it right on the one's head. Then the explosion caused by that one blowing himself up killed a third one! Only way it would have been better is if I had also gotten the Silver Damage achievement (got that last round) and the Shepherd achievement, but I'm guessing I'm a few kills away from that one.

First Song--Guitar Hero World Tour

I got Guitar Hero World Tour last night, and finally had time to play it. After creating my rocker and designing instruments for him, I went into quick play and decided to play my first song. Chose "Beat It" by Micheal Jackson How could I not pass up a chance to play Eddie Van Halen's solo for my first song. Unfortunately I played it on Beginner. If you can move the strum bar, you can do great at this difficulty, because that is all you have to do. I didn't get perfect, because I came in early a few times, but I got 92%, 32,050 points, and a 56 note Streak.

Needless to say, I had to play it again on easy, so I could actually play it. Got 94% this time, with 43,324 points and a 66 note streak. Could have gotten better, but Bugs decided to send me message during the song and I missed a few notes when I forgot where the start button was.

I also unlocked the "Pick and Axe" "One Time Solo Artist" and "Warrior Of Rock" achievements.

And in case anyone is wondering, I didn't use Star Power the second time through, but I did the first time. During the solo, of course :)

Halo--Halo

A rather fun level. Every one on my life boat died, so Master Chief and Cortana had to find some survivors, After finding some and fighting off a few waves of Covalent ships, I got to drive the Puma. I mean Warthog. Used that to find more survivors and fight more covenant forces. After rescuing all the survivors in my area, we found out the the Captain was still alive and being held aboard a Covenant ship. Time for a rescue mission.

Nothing to special, I just thought this post on Joystiq was funny.

WWE announced the contents of their next DLC pack for Smackdown VS Raw 2009! And this pack will contain...Nothing!

Ok, that isn't true, here is who will be included.

Vader - playable Superstar
Earthquake - playable Superstar
Doink the Clown - playable Superstar
Bushwhacker Butch - playable Superstar
Bushwhacker Luke - playable Superstar

That's right, two idiots, two fat guys, and a clown (sorry, but I always thought the bushwhackers were kind of stupid.) Not even the alternate costumes that were included in the first pack for PS3! Where is the love for the 360 owners WWE?

The first pack at least had good wrestlers included and it gave us 2 new tag teams (here is what we got, not counting the PS3 exclusives)

Evan Bourne - playable Superstar
Ted DiBiase Jr. - playable Superstar
Charlie Haas - playable Superstar
Chris Jericho - alternate attire

With Ted, we also got the Priceless Tag Team and Legacy stable, and with Charlie Hass, we can make the "World's Greatest Tag team" with Shelton Benjamin. If all we are going to get is new wrestlers (and presumably their parts for CAW and CAE modes) this is a good selection. This new pack, not so much.

And what happened to the announced update that would improve the Create modes? lets get that out soon WWE.

Just had a random thought. Why haven't, or when will they, add hand-held games to the Virtual Console? Think about it, there are some great games for the original Gameboy and the Gameboy Color that can't be played on the DS (surprisingly enough it takes too much power to run the older games) and with the DSi out GBA games will get harder to play (the DSi has no GBA game slot, so no Guitar Hero games either.)

So why not release them on the VC. could add an options menu for the color of the games (original light green or dark green, GBC or Super Gameboy colors, full color, ect) and obviously change the resolution so it can be played on a bigger screen, but it shouldn't be too hard.
