I had such a weird thing with Revenge. Coming off of Burnout 3, I didn't like it, but a few years ago, I jumped back in to Revenge and wondered just what the heck I was thinking, because it is fantastic. It's easily as good as B3, if not better. It has all the essential elements of a Burnout game. Burnout Paradise didn't capture my attention when that came out, but I'm going to go back to it again someday and probably wonder what the heck I was thinking, again.

I heard some talk on podcasts about Earthbound and some of the very strange things that can happen in the game. This has me really interested in playing it.

I actually never played much strict multiplayer. I played a ton of co-op though with a buddy of mine every weekend for three years, playing from the beach landing on Silent Cartographer through Assault on the Control Room. Something new always happened to make us laugh and shout. I got my first big screen TV just to get more viewing space while playing split-screen because, unfortunately, you couldn't play the campaign missions co-op via LAN.

I have to pick up the Anniversary Edition again for 360 and go achievement hunting. I never did 100% it.

I love Dual Strike but I've never beaten it. I'm going to play all these games again sometime soon and I think I'll look up a walkthrough. I've heard other people say how the Advance Wars games are like puzzles where you have to figure out just the right combination of units to win a map. That seems to be true in my experience and it frustrates me a little bit because I like to improvise and be rewarded for doing so. Still, I love the presentation of Advance Wars. It's like playing those Avalon Hill war strategy board games that I used to play.I couldn't find anyone to play with me though and I would just move units around the board and play against myself. Advance Wars reminds me of those times.

I guess you mean this one from Batman Returns.

That monster will have to pry that controler out of my cold dead hands before I give it up.

I'm just recovering from a weekend of Just Cause. The first one. I'm using an achievement guide from Xbox360achievements.org although I am taking longer than suggested because I just love flying around in helicopters. My rating for personal enjoyment is a solid 10, but if I had to review it, it would lose some points to loose driving controls and a police force that is sometimes overly aggressive. I mean, if I have a zero alert level, I shouldn't be being shot at by Government helicopters while I'm trying to drive a motorcycle through an obstacle course. That kind of thing sends this game to an 8 from a critic's point of view..

The only time this bothered me was in Gears of War 3. I labored for weeks to get the Silverback leveled up so I could get the rocket shooting achievement and then discovered I needed a DLC pack to unlock rockets. I was mad, but GOW3 was so much fun, I gave in and just got all the DLC through Season Pass. Seriously, though, they should never update the achievement list before you buy the DLC. That's just dirty pool to me.
