Blitzer

Well I'm finally out of my WoW addiction. Not to say that I'll never play again because Wrath of the Lich King looks awesome. But I'm at least taking a break for a few months.
The first game I've bought in months was Metal Gear Solid 4. I finished that in about 20 hours in the span of a week or so. It was ok but I think I need another playthrough for the full effect and I haven't touched the multiplayer either.  Audiosurf was the next, which is a great little game I'd recommend to pretty much everyone. But a big recent purchase for me was an Xbox. Yes, a regular old Xbox. Since Microsoft decided to forget about backwards compatibility. I had to get one to play some of the games I missed out on. There are a few series I mean to play on it. Which I will be doing soon. They include the Brothers in Arms and Splinter Cell games. Although there are a few single titles I feel the need to play as well.
Today I hit up a local department store's bargin bin and picked up some gems for a total of about $70. Once GB fixes the collection list bug I'll be sure to finish my whole 200+ game collection. Until then here is a brief list of what I've bought and will soon be or already am playing.

• Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
• Audiosurf (PC via Steam)
• Killzone (PS2)
• Splinter Cell Series (XBOX)
• Brothers in Arms Series (XBOX)
• Farcry: Instincts (XBOX)
• Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge (XBOX)
• Burnout Paradise (X360)
• The Bard's Tale (XBOX)
• Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (XBOX)
• Jade Empire: Limited Edition (XBOX)
• Jak II and Jak 3 (PS2)

Whew that's a big list and that isn't even everything. I also picked up Blood Omen 2 and Defiance. I've always wanted to play the Legacy of Kain games. Now I just need to get the rest of them. I will also be getting the first Jak game so I can finally see what that series is all about. It'll be the first platform game I've played in years. Other than that there are a few other odd games in there. Men of Valor which I've heard is pretty good. Also Deus Ex: Invisible War. Which means I'll have to play the first in that series as well. Damn that's a lot of games! I have no excuse to be bored for the next few months, that's for sure. All of these pluse the fall lineup.I need help!

This post relates to: Audiosurf

Maybe I've seriously been out of the loop (WoW can do that), but I've just recently learned about Audiosurf. It's a fairly generic rhythm game. But man is it addicting.
If you are wondering, you can pick it up on Steam for only $10. Easily worth the money. It let's you take any mp3 and turn it into a level. You take control of a ship gliding along the track which is affected by the song. There is a bit more to it, but it's really best to try it  yourself. (Or at least watch a video) I find it to be a nice break from Rockband and Guitar Hero.

Some cool songs I recommend  you try out are:

M.I.A. - Paper Planes
System of a Down - Chop Suey
The Killers - Mr Brightside
Greenday - Brain Stew

My steam account is xBlitzerx in case anyone wants to add me. It does keep track of scores for songs with a similar to XBL ratings system.
