Which is probably due to me not playing it as much as messing around on my computer.  That is not to say I have not played anything, I have and figured now would be a good time to sum up the games I did play.<\/p>\n<p>Time for a list of the games I spent any real time with<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Marvel Ultimate Alliance<\/span>($): Fast fun fairly brainless action<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Dead Rising<\/span>(b): I really like this game, but its &#8220;save&#8221;\/ play the game over and over mechanics drove me nuts<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Crackdown<\/span>(ms): Wow. Wow. Wow. This game provided a lot of things I like and did with flare and polish.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Zuma <\/span>(a): Crazy addictive action puzzle game. Lots of fun for the whole family<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Halo 3<\/span>(ms): The SP campaign seems ok thus far. Multiplayer fps on console are not my thing, but the recorded movie mode makes this a winner<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Carcassone<\/span>(a): Table top tile placing game brought to digital world almost perfectly<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Puzzle Quest<\/span>(a): Match 3 puzzle game + light rpg = greatness<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Mass Effect<\/span>(ms): Bioware&#8217;s latest RPG effort.  While in my mind this is not as good as Baldur&#8217;s Gate 2\/1 it has been fun. Yes it has issues (inventory UI i&#8217;m looking at you) but overall worth a playthrough.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Assassins Creed<\/span>(b): Beautiful free running simulation, with a story line that I wanted to see resolved (but did not.. I hates you UbiSoft), but the game play was so repetitive. I should have stopped playing long before the end, but I am a sucker for their story.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>a=arcade game  b=borrowed   ms=give by MS  $=paid full retail<\/p>\n<p>Out of those I have only completed Crackdown, ME, and AC.  While I know I will finish PQ, I am not so sure about Marvel , its so hard for me to get back into games that are lite on story.  Overall I am happy about the console and my play time on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been almost a year since I received my xbox360, and I do not think I have mentioned it much.
