So, it’s been a month since my last blog post. As I said before, I will start doing this every month. But this time I’m gonna trim some fat and rip off Indiana Jone’s movie titles and logos for special effect.

Where I live, there’s not a whole lot of gamers. It’s a tiny town on the Texas/Mexico border that’s pretty far behind in terms of technology.
There are high school students that are gamers, but most of them hate me because one of the duties of my position is to make sure they can’t access their MySpaces, Facebooks, YouTubes, and such at school. I controls the filter. I controls their interweb.
Then there’s one friend I have that’s a gamer, but he’s always “too busy” to play games lately. And if I try to talk to him about a new game, he doesn’t really seem to give a shit. Don’t buy consoles, get them modded, then download roms and isos 24/7 if you’re not going to play them.
And the rest of my friends are 10-20 years older than me and not into games (except for Rock Band). And they have kids that play games, but they’re the kids that play Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon based games. “Mass Effect? But, that’s the porno game!”

So this leaves me with pretty much no one locally to talk games with. Which is frustrating when I feel like talking about how awesome a game is, but can’t find people to talk about with it. And normally I wouldn’t post it online (unless someone asks for opinions), because my thoughts are usually “Random people online aren’t going to give a shit about what I think”.
But I’m sick of just holding it in, so I’m going to post anyway. Read it or don’t. I don’t care.

The day after last Christmas I finally bought myself a 360, about 8 games (listed below), and various accessories. It arrived in the main early January, so as you can imagine, I’ve spent a great deal of the past month playing the 360. Here’s what I played and my thoughts on them.
Note: This 360 is the first system in a while that I’m not pirating on. Mainly because I don’t want to get banned from XBL.
