Thursday Update

Let's see... what have I been up to?

On Saturday, I brought my lovely white box over to the home of DaftApeth and introduced him to the ways of Guitar Hero II. It was love at first twang. Hopefully it won't be much longer before he joins the family of happy 360 owners.

We played for hours, me on lead and he on bass. And it was good. We unlocked several co-op achievements.

Yesterday was a banner day. It was another double-header XBLA Wednesday, with Eets: Chowdown and Pinball FX released.

First impressions: Eets was... OK. Had it been a little cheaper or if I had liked it a bit more, I may have gotten it. But I passed. However, I did pick up Pinball FX. Not because it's a terribly great game, but it's the only pinball available on the 360 and the physics engine is really not bad at all. I've spent a few hours here and there on the Windows Pinball game (Space Cadet), and Pinball FX offers 3 tables with the promise of more, and a rather high level of graphical detail.

It wasn't too late, so I picked up the axe and tried for that elusive Full Combo (100%) on a Guitar Hero song. And you know, I finally hit it. It was on Easy, but still. I'm no Rock God.

I've also Twitter-enabled my XBox, so if you care to follow my goings-on, pick up my Twitter Feed and you'll be notified of my current state.
