Apparently I Was Good This Year

As a complete shock to me, as I'm sure it is to you, I did not recieve a lump of coal for Christmas this year. On the contrary I recieved some very nice gifts from the Video Game Santa. Now all I need is the time to play all of them. Here is a quick list of the games and their descriptions and why I'm am so looking forward to playing them in the upcoming weeks.

Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360) It's the zombie apocolypse, bring friends! I've played this game for just a short time since I've been back from New Year's and it's just awesome. You are running around a destroyed city with three buddies and shooting everything that moves. And let me tell you when I mean you are shooting, I mean you are shooting every single thing that moves with every single bullet you can find. After playing the game for 30 minutes, the 30YOFiance came out of the bedroom and said, "All I hear in that game is gunfire and screaming." Awesome!

Guitar Hero World Tour (Wii)

As you may already know, The 30 Year-old Gamer's 30 Year-old Girlfriend has now become the 30 Year-old Fiance. The game we love to play the most, is Guitar Hero World Tour. We love to rock out and our band that we started "The New Hotness" is all about the rock. This game has 81 originally recorded tracks from the original artisits. It has plenty to offer with plenty variety. If you loved the original, you will love this one.

Fable 2 (Xbox 360)

Here's a game that I think may steal the show. It's a role playing game that has gotten rave reviews including Game of the Year from G4TV, but I'm not really one that relies on other's opinions. It starts like a typical Disney movie. You know, young kid, terrible tragedy that will define his whole life. Normally it will scar a kid for life, but since you are controlling the kid your actions will define if it does or not. If only real life were so easy.

Super Monkey Ball (Wii)

This is just a fun happy game that is relaxing and fun to play with others. That is until the stupid monkey doesn't go where you want it to. Then the game become an excercise in restraint, as in restraining yourself from throwing the Wiimote into the center of your very large TV. However when everything is going smoothly, the game is a lot of fun to play, and I can't wait to have a few beers and having at it.

As the weeks go by, I'll give you more in depth stories with these games. I do love playing them and look forward to getting to play them in depth as the weather gets colder and colder.

Until next time,
