I got roughly 20 minutes of gaming in today. Tried out Generator Rex and that just didn't do it for me. First impression: one of the worst games I've played in a while not counting Kinect games. To me it looks somewhat identical to Team Fortress 2 in graphics with all the orange colors and the non realistic models. 

Gen Rex 

TF2

To be fair I haven't given it a fair shake, nor did I even feel like playing. But it's highly unlikely that I will find enjoyment out of it.

I really can't say I went H.A.M at all today and this mini cold isn't helping but I'm trying to power through it. I feel like I'm about to hit a scoring slump but I'm trying to counteract that, I just don't know how. A light gun game sans a light gun is probably not helping since it's basically a big heaping pile of fail. I'm talking about Cabela's Survival: SoK and that is what I tried to play today. It plays like crap without the gun and really is no fun and the actual story mode is a joke in length. It's different from the other cabela's games, both a good and a bad thing, as there's a lot of clambering/shimming up icy rocks. I probably ended up getting a few hundred points today just going through the motions. There are a lot of achievements tied to the shooting gallery portion and that seems even less fun without the gun.

Moral of the story: get the damn light gun to play this game, it was the way it was intended to be played. The problem I have is this; I haven't gotten a new light gun in roughly 24 years. Is there a way to convert the zapper male end to USB? There needs to be. You can't hold those new guns with a side grip, the only way I roll.

The Collection Piece by Piece - Xbox Turns 10: Xbox Launch Stuff

A very rare wallscroll used to promote Halo in Japan some months later.

And that's me a full 10 years ago on senior trip just before the Xbox arrived. Boy does time fly.

I could not find a single one of my original "duke" Xbox controllers to take a picture of which is odd since I have at least 3 of them hiding somewhere around here.

I just remember being blown away by Halo, PGR being extremely fun and DoA having jaw dropping  graphics.

I did get my system at midnight on launch day with these games.

I had a PlayStation too, in fact, I bought that at midnight on launch day as well a year prior. Xbox appealed to me more than Playstation over time because Microsoft focused on online gaming more so than Sony did. It was built-in the box and I definitely saw what was coming.

The Collection Piece by Piece - Skylanders

I thought Skylanders was good fun. If you have a younger kid between 6 -14, he/she will want this game. Don't forget to get them extra character packs, because they will want those as well and there's quite a few to choose from.

Gamerscore wise: Not too difficult and should take roughly 12-15 hours to fully complete. I had fun even though I felt like a big dork buying it. You do not need extra characters to get the full thousand. The three that come in the box will get the job done.

The Collection Piece by Piece - Family Game Night 4: The Game Show

A little time consuming but very easy for gamerscore. FGN4 takes roughly 12-14 hours to 1k and I currently sit at 660.

Jessie is one of the producers on the game over at EA Salt Lake and he was kind enough to sign and send me a copy of his game. Thanks again, man!

At almost 350,000 gamersocre away, I'm finally seeing a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel and that is a first. Still, 350,000 is a hell of a lot. The million is not going to happen overnight, or even in a year, but it will probably happen sooner than you think.
