and to think I said it was pointless

Perhaps this was the year I bought most downloadable of them all. If I'm not mistaken two 4000 Microsoft points were used, roughly 80 bucks (I still have points). I bought COD 4 variety map pack, Halo 3 legendary map pack, Braid, Castle Crashers, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Megaman 9, Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. All good purchases in my opinion.

As I write this I couldn't believe the amount of stuff I boght I was very relutant to buy anything off MS marketplace. I just hope developers don't use DLC as an excuse to put out mediocre games and then release an add-on that costs 800-1600 microsoft points. I think games like Braid, Bionic Commando, Megaman are great ideas, but when you take the EA route, and charge for in-game upgrades (NFS: Undercover), DLC becomes a medium to rip-off users.

A few days have passed since my latest blog entry. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to write a few stories of my everyday life but college is quite exhaustive. I'm back to my old friends: calculus and physics. When you combine the two the amount of time left is pretty much laughable. Without taking into account the

other 4 subjects I'm talking. So as any other guy who enjoys playing video games (Personally I don't like the term "Gamer") I've devoted my spare time to games. Recently I bought Braid: everything the press said, true. The game is quite immersive and the time manipulation mechanic works perfectly so perfect I want to use it in my everyday life, especially when solving math problems. Rewinding time beats the hell out of erasing.

 Back to Braid, some of the puzzles found on the game are way too difficult but after a few minutes of quite reasoning everything falls into its place. I enjoyed picking up every single puzzle piece -the stars are a whole blog entry-, yes; I finished the game and find all the conspiracies surrounding the Manhattan Project quite interesting. Also I've been playing GWRE, CoD 4, GTA IV, Brawl and Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Oh, I played The Force Unleashed demo and think there is room for improvement, the apprentice doesn't feel like a character it’s more like a  moving block , at least that's the feeling I get when he 's slashing down his enemies, there is no emotion, but maybe that's just me nitpicking.

 I hope this week I have more free time as next week I start exams and not much time left to play or visit the site when you’re dealing with multiple integrals. Apart from that nothing interesting has happened in my life. Apart from the fact that I'm still bummed at the Olympics, don't get me wrong I like China and all but I think some of the events were tweaked towards China's benefit. 


See You Around,

Nick.

After seeing his 3-D rendered version, Sonic took a turn for the worse, the first game was awesome but then something happened. It wasn't the same Sonic Team of past years or their pay-check got severed I don't know, maybe Sonic Unleashed will bring glory once again to the franchise although I'm not sure about the werewolf mechanics...
