xDevilsR3JECTx: Call of Duty Psycho Killer!

Well its been long enough, i can't go on any longer without mentioning my good friend Dan aka xDevilsR3JECTx to all of you.

Some of you may have had the pleasure of being slaughtered by this psychopath on COD:MW2, chances are probably...

If your lucky enough to be on the same side as this mentalist during a match, then you have more than likely won the match, regardless of how good/terrible you are. He just seems to have such a fetish for guns and slaughter that i have yet to come across anyone who slays like he slays. Maybe he needs to get out more?? I don't know, that's for you to decide. All i know is, this man/freak seems to love nothing more than sunbathing in Tactical Nukes, laying human cement with the use of a Pavelow/Chopper Gunner and generally picking off the weak and feeble.

In all fairness, he hasn't actually put that much time into this game, and if you look at his, shall we say, 'soft' looking avatar (see above) you wouldn't think anything of him. You will however be very much mistaken.

He won't let on to what his secret for Call of Duty success is, and in all honesty i don't think he has one. All i think he goes on, is bad mouthing Americans, and wiping the drool from either side of his massive grin as finishes a match 30 odd kills to 1/2 deaths.

Dan, you are our friend (maybe), but deep down everyone has a little hatred towards you over this. You make me sick.

End of rant...

True Achievements

Well, i knew from the off that i wanted to make a post about the wonderful website that is TrueAchievements when i started this blog.

For anyone who doesn't know what this site is all about click the link and see for yourself. Its basically a website that compiles the achievements you have gained on your Xbox 360 and works out the true value of those achievements based on how many people have actually achieved them (hope that makes sense). This not only makes your Gamerscore look better than before (unless all you have played is the game Avatar), but it shows how well you have done on certain games if you are part of a small percentage of people to have won certain achievements in those games.

This is not TrueAchievements only success however. It also has a great community that i myself have seen build up from its first year of creation. People post guides to help others gain achievements they need help on, they also have decent forums for discussion, you can track your friends achievements and they have set dates were people in the community can come together to help each other boost to gain achievements.

The site has also recently had a revamp, which i think is a major improvement compared to before.

So as you can see, all in all its a great site, and one that is definately worth checking out if your into your achievements!

The Deal of the Week January 4th 2010: Kingdom for Keflings

Well the deal of the week on XBLA this week isn't a game that interested me massively when it first hit the marketplace. Admittedly i have only played the demo and so i may be missing something with the full game download.



However with it now being Deal of the Week, Kingdom for Keflings is now valued at a measly 400 points which is pretty good for anyone who wanted to give it a go but didn't want to fork out the full price. Maybe i should pick it up as i've heard its quite a relaxing game to play, and i don't have many of them... I'm looking at you Modern Warfare 2!!

Major Nelson: Deal of the Week

No Time for Single Player.

I just thought I'd add an entry about how much online gaming has taken over my gaming time as a whole.

I have in my possession, Borderlands and Forza 3 to start, Operation Flashpoint, Mirrors Edge, Modern Warfare 2 to finish, and a bunch of others that i would like to mop achievements up with.

The problem is, the time i spend gaming now a days is with friends whom i don't see as much in person anymore. Getting online is the only real opportunity we have to catch up regularly and so i normally end up playing Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead online religiously.

This isn't obviously a bad thing, however i do miss a solemn single player session, like i used to with Fallout 3 for example. Ahh the good ol' days...

Anticipation for the New Year.

With 2009 truly behind us now, I am beginning to look forward to what 2010 will bring with regards games.

Here is my shortlist of wanted games:

Bioshock 2

Mass Effect 2

Aliens Vs. Predator

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction

I thought i would also point out that i still have a ton of games to complete from the previous year, and i assume there are others like me in a similar position. This is normally the case for me though, as by the end of the year i make around 5 or 6 purchases in the space of about a month! This means that i don't have enough to time to devote to them all.

Hmm maybe i should chill out on the buying this year?? Maybe it should be my resolution...

Le Ripper Blogging!

Well, this is my first blog. I guess I have created this as a means of practicing/honing my writing skills, and what better practice than writing a blog about gaming.

There are obviously tons of gaming blogs/websites etc. out there, but heres hoping that this one can provide something different.

I will be providing my own mini reviews, opinions and general discussions about gaming, mainly focusing around the Xbox 360 platform.

Here's hoping people will enjoy this blog as much as i hopefully will...
