Scene it Complete
Finally completed Scene It: LCA yesterday. The achievements have ruined that game for me. I know most of the answers on it now as I saw so many repeat questions trying to find 3 documentary ones. Must have played at least 3 hours a night for most of this week. Most time I have spent on an achievement that required no effort and just waiting on something happening in game. Glad it is over as it was becoming a pain. Won't be doing it with the other Scene it game I have as I can still get fun from playing with friends on that one.

2 Retail and 1 Arcade done
Over the weekend I pushed through a lot of my to do list and complete Eat Lead, Prey and Shadow Complex. Tried Braid again, but the game just frustrates me. I do fine on some bits first try but fail others so don't make it in time or I fail the bits I did fine on and complete the others quickly. The game needs a hell of a lot of effort which for 15 points I am struggling to push on with.
Eat Lead as much as I enjoyed the game first time became a real pain. The checkpoints are spread out and I found I would die close to the next one and have to repeat it. I kept turning it off after a few checkpoints out of frustration, but got through it in the end. Prey felt pretty time consuming, but I made the push through with it to get the game finished off. Shadow Complex was an utterly thrilling game to complete. I did just follow the same repeat process for the last 10 levels for my final achievement, but if I had to just play through it again I would have.
I played through a lot of Scene it:LCA to almost finish it off. All I need now is to answer 3 documentary questions. Unfortunately the game only has 6 or 7 out of 1800 questions so it may take a while to get them. Might just play a game each day until it is complete. Also looking through my list of games for the next one to work on.

DLC Cash in
More and more these days DLC cash ins are coming out just after the games release. I can understand this if these are free, but that is rarely the case. Music games seem to be one of the worse with this. I am sure beatles rock band had DLC around the release. I know games companies have to make money to keep going, but it is getting rediculous.
On the other hand the DLC that comes around release with a free code in each new game purchase is a good plan for companies. I generally buy games new rather than pre-owned as I prefer a scratch free game and usually the price difference in minimal.

Gamerscore Antics
Thought I would start a blog mainly on my gamerscore antics. My gamerscore is now up to 52245 out of a possible 107715. Got a long way to go, but am hoping to push for a lot more soon. Have not been looking to get many new games so can try and finish off a few. My current to do list is: Prey, Matt hazard, Shadow Complex and possibly Braid. These will only net me 205 points, but will boost me 2 more arcade and retail completes. I know I can do the first 3 with little effort, just putting in the play time. Braid concerns me though. Tried a few times and am just not quick enough for the speed run. Will keep pushing at it though.
Havn't been a big one on completionism up until recently. Concidering Im sitting on 48.50% it really does show. So many games on my tag that have barely been touched. Just have a habit of losing interest in all the games and buying new ones. Wanting to fix that though so hope I can stick to it. Found some inspiration in getting more games completed after stumbling over jackanape's blog. He is on a push to get to 92% complete from his current 86.42%. I am not going to push so high so quick though. I have too many games lagging behind and with Assassins creed 2 and Modern warfare 2 coming out that I can not wait for I know I will have more distractions. Then Christmas will roll along with more titles to pile up. Got about 15 last year.
Unfortunately just to ruin my current gamerscore push that I have planned I got caught up with World of Warcraft again. Normally I just play once a week with friends, but getting more addicted to it again. Hopefully I can hold off that though as I really do want to push through my gamerscore. I am planning to have all above mentioned games done by end of October. Dead Rising is another title tempting me back. I really want to do the 7 day survivor achievement, but not sure I could push through a whole 14 hours of it in one go.
