I revisited this 2006 PopCap game on Xbox Series S and discovered I hadn't got all the achievements. Weird. So I attacked this thing with the hunger of a shark and got pretty close to completing everything. 

As soon as I saw a new release of Catan for consoles last month, I got the game. I have the board game too, but I haven't had an oportunity to play it. Console versions, however, I've played a lot, including this new one. 

This is the third game I'm playing on Android for Xbox achievements. It's a good quality Mahjong game. I'm enjoying it. 

A few weeks ago I revisited these two PS4 exclusive games and readded them to my library. Yes, physical games still exist, and I am still interested in building a library of them. I was thrilled to play some of both and remember. 

I returned to ReCore, after having played the demo in 2017, a few weeks ago on a random spin of the "Surprise Me" button on Xbox and enjoyed it enough to keep going with it all that week. Check it out. 

I checked this out when it was new on Game Pass. The match-3 like segment shown reminded me strongly of a game I love called Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, a game by Capybara that came out for DS in 2009 and then Xbox Live Arcade in 2011. So I had to play it, and soon I was hooked. 

Microsoft Rewards on Xbox offered me points for getting an achievement in any EA game offered through Game Pass Ultimate. I chose to return to Mass Effect Andromeda and got very invovled with it and still am. 

Sometimes Games with Gold sends me adventure games. Somerville and Truberbrook were two recent ones I tried. 

From February 'til now, I've managed to pick up quite a few new games and consoles. Bargain bins and trades have been good to me this past month and a half. Here's the lot:

Every day that I visit the comic store, I browse the bargain bin for interesting single issues from the past. In addition to trying out new stories and characters, I find video game ads. I started scanning (and now photographing) them. Here are the latest ones.
