Just 111,111 more to go before the 2/3 mark.

Six fives that pop into my mind.

COED Magazine Interview

Raymond Cox And The Quest For 1 Million Gamerscore Points [INTERVIEW]

"You may have never heard of Raymond Cox, a.k.a Stallion83, but one thing is for sure: he has a higher Xbox Live gamerscore than you do, and he has the world records to prove it. Since 2005 – on the launch day of the Xbox 360 console – Raymond has been aggressively pursuing one million XBL achievement points – a number he hopes to be the first person in the world to reach. At 550,500 points and counting, we caught up with Raymond via email to learn how his quest got started, how it’s going and what games he looks forward to this year. After all, who better to ask than the guy who plays everything?"

Completed Game #464: WWE All Stars

Amazing
Great
Good<------WWE All Stars is an over the top arcade wrestling game in the same vein as NBA JAM, as if wrestling wasn't already over the top. Stacked with the greatest wrestling icons from the present and past. Sadly it's another title that suffers from PS2itis in the graphics department. The gameplay is solid and the matches tend to be shorter than your average wrestling affair. It would of been nice to see a more fleshed out career mode because it does lack depth.

Completed Game #463: CSI Fatal Conspiracy

Amazing
Great
Good
Decent<--------It could be considered bad but since I'm no fan of the show nor am I a huge fan of point and click games, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. There's nothing really wrong with the game except for the fact it could easily run on the PS2. That ancient hardware needs to be taken behind the woodshed and shot repeatedly. Yes, the PS2 is like a bad scary movie. Even though it should be dead, it keeps coming for more. I'll personally make it my life goal to throw that grizzly technology into the fires of Mount Doom. Ken Kutaragi will obviously play the role of Gollum, squirming at ever turn for his precious to be returned.

800 Xbox 360 Games Played

CSI: Fatal Conspiracy being lucky number 800. Seems just like yesterday I made a blog post about playing 700 games. The  800 now are a true smorgasbord and I'm enjoying it greatly. The question I get a lot is how can I stomach the utterly crappy games. Forever or until I decide to hang up my controller, I will always be wired like this. I'm like the Wilt Chamberlain of gaming, one game isn't enough, I gotta big dipper into them all.

Completed Game #461: Comic Jumper

Amazing
Great<---------Not sure how this stayed under my radar for so long since I do love the other Twisted Pixel games. One of best arcade games I've had the pleasure of playing this year. A comic book game done right and hilarious. I fell in love with most of the characters as well, which is rare for me.

Completed Game #460: Unbound Saga

Amazing
Great
Good
Decent
Bad <-----------It looks good for a beat 'em up but I would rather play those terrible looking beat 'em ups from the past. It does have online co-op! I'm looking at you every other arcade game that failed to do so when it makes perfect sense.

Completed Game #458: MindJack

Amazing

Decent <----------- Some really innovative ideas going to work. However, the development team either didn't have the time, skill, or resources to make it something really special. It was different and that is the best quality of this game.

A Pile of Windows Phone 7 Reviews

I have been slacking on the Windows Phone 7 updates so I thought I'd give you all a month in review. Including next weeks release of Harbor Master.

550,000 Down, 450,000 To Go

Just a few minutes ago I got to the 550,000 Gamerscore mark by unlocking an achievement in Marvel vs Capcom 3.

Completed Game #457: Truth or Lies

This game does not work as advertised. Terrible! Easy achievements, skunk nasty in every other way.

Achievement Difficulty: 1 out of 10 (Although it can be a slight pain since the game doesn't work at all)

Time to complete the full 1,000: Under 2 hours

Tip: To get the game to register a lie you want to eek into the mic at the highest pitch you can get at. My cat won't come around me anymore :\ Why would you want to lie? There are a few achievements tied to telling sweet little lies.

I'm Taking My Talents To Tokyo (PlayStation Network)

My journey to 1 million gamerscore has taken an exciting yet unconventional turn today. The fine folks over at Sony have made me an offer that I can't refuse.
