Percentages and Targets

I have been trying to achieve 60% complete by the end of the year. Today I have realised I have next to no chance of making it. Out of my current games I would need to go from 57475 to 67000 to make the target. That is before I add any games to my tag. I have 2 games sitting unplayed and a lot more on the way through December as I am getting some early presents. From what I have been told I have close to 20000 more gamerscore points worth of game coming. If they all go on my tag then I would need to get up to around 78099 points before I hit my target which I won't manage. Time will tell, but I think that target is not going to get hit.

Things to come

Well my push for the full 1000 on Modern Warfare 2 slowed down. I started the spec ops mode and it is a lot harder that single player. Have got the 2 levels that needs a coop partner out of the way, but having trouble playing through on my own. It really has been designed for 2 players. Just got to familiarise myself with each level and I should be able to finish it.

Started playing Oblivion again and have got into it a lot more than my first attempt. There is just so much to do. I am focusing on all the different guilds first. Will play the main quest line after those.

Wall-E arrived yesterday which after playing the demo looks to be a bit of fun. Got it cheap. Not expecting the best game ever, but it looks good enough to have some fun with. Only just watched the film for the first time the other day.

Been looking over the games I need to make a dent it which I hope to play some of soon. Tried to get further in Command & Conquer, but got stuck. The game does involve a good logic for the tactics which after such a long break from it I was forgetting a lot of those.

Friday brings in Assassin's Creed 2 which I am really looking forward to. Have avoided the achievement list for it and a lot of the previews as I want to see the game first hand and not be expecting anything. This weekend I should get a fare chunk played through. It looks to be a lot of fun

Modern Warfare 2

Completed the single player campaign last night. I had skipped the intel though as I feel I miss out on some experience of the game if I am following guides. Managed to get all other single player achievements without reading up tips which is nice. Really enjoyed it. Only took 8 and a half hours. Tonight I plan to play through single player again to get all the intel I need and then onto special ops mode to finish off the game.

I am dying to play multiplayer of course, but want to get the gamerscore out of the way first. I know I will be well behind everyone when I finally get on, but I have a semi decent skill that I don't think I will have much trouble adjusting to others.

50% completion hit

In my efforts to improve my completion from my current list I have pushed past the 50% mark. Have increased Velvet Assassin to 900/1000. Need to put in around 5 hours on that one to finish it off so have put it down for the moment. I did complete sega mega drive collection and have now started to work on the Simpsons game. It is a pretty fun game, but a bit too many collectables which is ruining it a little for me. Probably about another 3 - 4 hours work for it to 100%.

Modern Warfare 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 will be arriving this month which will most likely push my gamerscore to less than 50%, but I will play through both to hopefully 100% so won't be down for long.

Set myself a target of 60% by the end of the year. Unfortunately I plan to get a lot of games around Christmas so will be a pretty hard push for it I think. Started to find a lot more fun in my gamerscore again at least.
