"The reason why I have listed all the games I currently own is because I want to see an actual list with it's current gamerscore, it gives me an idea of how bad I am at gaining gamerscore. lmao"

No, but seriously I've had something running through my head since I quit renting games. I want to see all the games that I own in one full list and gamerscore that belongs to it.

This way I am able to get an understanding of what games I need to try and better.

There are quite a few games that I rented that still have gamerscore to be had. But I left them out because I want to try and improve on the games I CURRENTLY own.

I wouldn't consider myself a Hardcore Gamerscore Whore. But I would consider myself someone who would try and get what I could to my gamer strengths.

Above, I have bolded out the games that I will try and get higher scores in, or 1000(maybe).

So for the next few months I will set this as a goal. I will then post the same list in a few months to see what I managed.

HD Update

Playing in Full HDTV is like having a newer model xbox. It's fantastic, playing Fifa 10 in HD is a spectacular experience.

"I have been playing 360 for four years now."

I have wanted an HDTV for the last 6 months. So I decided that I will save up for one. I finally splashed out on a Samsung, 23". Nothing too big, but it's the best thing that I have ever done, in gaming terms.

Left 4 Dead was a game that I didn't particulary enjoy, maybe it was because I didn't get to play it in HD. Left 4 Dead 2 is immense in HD.

I did some [PROTOTYPE] last night and it was fantastic, another game I didn't quite enjoy on a Standard TV. In HD, it is a fantastic experience. So I think that HD as given me a new lease of life!

My rant about slowly fading away from achievements maybe it was because I wasn't playing games to their full potential. And I will now continue to play games for achievements and enjoy it in FULL HDTV. A bit of a contradiction, I know, but we all do/say things we shouldn't sometimes in life.

March Update

Since my last post. I have played some new games.  Over the last couple weeks, I have been playing Colin McRae Dirt 2. Which at £8, was a bargain I couldn't pass on.

I borrowed L4D2 from my cousin. I was pleased to get my hands on it, especially for a freebie.

I said to my Cousin, "I didn't really play too much L4D", he replied. "Achievements". I was just laughing in my mind. I was like, "Yeah".

Afro Samurai. Which I played a few weeks back. I bought it for £7.99 at Game. I played the first hour and was bored.

I wanted something different. It was different alright. haha. I haven't been back since. This game reminded me of Beowulf. Not in terms of gameplay or anything. But just played the first one hour and that's it.

Other things I have been thinking about over the last few weeks is Heavy Rain. How I wished that I had a PS3. Heavy Rain loooks awesome. I love everything about it. "Hope they release it for x360."

Alan Wake couldn't come soon enough. I have read previews, looked at screenshots. I can't wait until it's released.

"Games looking forward to the most:- Alan Wake, and Prison Break."
