...xbox...why have I neglected thee???

...so like many gamers, I have the big three previous to the new generation of consoles: PS2, Xbox & Gamecube. The PS2 has been my baby for the longest and I will love it to death...I then received a Gamecube from my girlfriend for my birthday a few years ago. I enjoy it a lot more for the fact of Zelda, Resident Evil, Animal Crossing and all those Nintendo, cutesy games. Let's not forget Mario also...he's been with me since I got my NES...

...when I moved out of my parents house and into my apartment, my roommate stumbled upon an Xbox that was at a garage sale with a sign that said: Take Me I'm Free. The only problem was that it was tempermental (later finding out that all it needed was to have it's lense cleaned). So my roommate gave it to me since he didn't really play video games. I then started playing Fable, Chronicles of Riddick and a bunch of other Xbox exclusives. I picked up Phantom Dust, Sudeki and a few others...then I forgot about it (although that's a figure of speech since the thing is huge and you can't really miss it)...

...so the past weekend, I got sick so I decided to pop in Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith into my Xbox. I've played and beaten the game before for PS2 but I got it again for X-mas from my friend. Figured why not, it was a fun game. For some reason, I had a lot more fun playing it on the Xbox. So then I popped in my copy of Fable and restarted my game I had from before...

...I have neglected my Xbox and I have no idea why. I put out this post to you guys, whomever is out there reading. What are some good Xbox exclusive games that I should play? I was thinking of picking up Mechassult 2 or Stubbs the Zombie but I'm unsure. There are so many games in the $9.99 & under bin at my local GameStop...I don't know!!!

...hot hot heat...literally...

...it's a heat wave here in NYC and what do i do? i go to the beach with 3 hotties...and get a sunburn. I'm not feelin too hot since yesterday so i've been catching up on some old PS2 games that I haven't played in a long time...

...one in particular is Psi Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. This game is just a lot of fun. The storyline reminds me a lot of the Jason Bourne series of books and movies. It's about a guy who doesn't remember who he is but learns along the way that he has the powers of telekenesis, pyrokenesis, remote vision, mind control and other powers. Basically you're going through the game learning that you have these powers, and what you've done in the past, therefore taking on revenge on those who made you who you are...

...fun, easy story no? There really isn't anything better than picking up an enemy soldier, spinning him around and throwing him into a barrage of other soldiers coming to kill you and setting them on fire. HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE A GAME LIKE THAT?!. I'm currently stuck at a boss battle that's pretty easy but frustrating at the same time. First you battle the stone warriors in the room which is pretty easy but tedious. Then the actual boss (Wei Lu I want to say??) turns into a huge, green blob thinggee with 3 heads (not including his own)...

...I've come to the decision that I need to finish a game. I haven't finished a game since Zelda: Wind Waker for the GameCube (which was spectacular and I can't wait for the Phantom Hourglass for DS). I have so many games that I have yet to finish (RE4, Psi Ops, Metroid Prime, Getting Up, Ace Combat 5) but I keep on getting either bored or distracted. My DS isn't helping out either with all the games that I have for that also (I've made myself take out Pokemon Diamond because I need to stop walking around in circles looking for rare Pokemon). DAMMIT and I have an old Xbox which I started playing Fable on and Sudeki. AGHHHH!!! HELP!...
