Patches are For Old Clothing

Achievement Bounty 2-27-2011 - 3-2-2011 (85) (1,525 Gamerscore)
Achievements obtained from NHL 09, Fifa 08, Game Chest Solitaire, Test Drive Unlimited 2, Bulletstorm, iBlast Moki, Vanquish, Kane and Lynch 2, and Fight Night Champion.

Completed DLC: The Doggie Bag - Kane and Lynch 2
Got around to finishing up the DLC stuff in Kane and Lynch 2. I loath that game because of the sore losers out there. Take your beatings like a winner, Charlie Sheen would. It took some time, but Bulletstorm grew on me. The game is pretty fantastic and I recommend playing Vanquish before touching BS. It's just not as good after playing Bullet. Whoever wrote the dialog for Bulletstrom had tourette syndrome, that's the only logical explanation I can come up with.

Fight Night Champion is the best boxing game on the 360 to date. It feels and looks a little more arcade like while in motion compared to past Fight Night titles. The combination's are also much more fluid. The story mode adds a different element to the mix, unfortunately, it could of been a lot better and longer. I only played a single online game, but it was lag free and fun. If you like boxing games at all, FNC is a must play. However, Mike Tyson's Punch Out still rules the roost.

I finally added Test Drive Unlimited 2 to my games played/2011 stats. I was debating great or good for the longest time, I went with great. Out of the box with completely broken online functionality it's only a good game. The team behind TDU2 will repair the broken mess with a patch and I can see the potential. It's almost been out for a month now, which is alarming. What the H  E double hockey sticks devs/publishers? Make games that work properly out of the box. If we didn't have the internet, every game released nowadays would have problems.....Fix YOUR problems on YOUR watch. Not after you take out a lone from your fans. Last time I checked, game developers don't need sewing machines to create a game, yet they get dusted off when quality isn't met. Using said sewing machine to patch up a pair of jeans that you wore out while devoting your life to your craft is a much better look. Some amount of dedication and patience is being lost and the quality is suffering.

I've had many people ask me when XtendPlay will be available in Europe. Well, the time is now via amazon.co.uk.
