Burnout

Play, Want, Bin: February 08

To add a little more gaming posts to the blog I plan to post a Play, Want, Bin at the end of every month to show what I’m currently playing, wanting, and binning. Seen a few other people including Rockers Delight which I’m borrowing/stealing the idea from.

Play

Poker Smash - I haven’t really been interested in XBLA but Uno is a great relaxer and Poker Smash is a little addicting; or at least for me.

Burnout Paradise - I’ve always been a gamer but never much into racing (besides Mario Kart back on SNES/N64). In fact most find it surprising that I have never played any GTA games. However, after checking out the Burnout Paradise demo in December I knew it was on my buy list. So, shortly after its release I ended up purchasing it and love it so far. Haven’t spent much time online with it but have been exploring the city and events.

Want

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - What’s better then Halo? Rainbow Six that is. I have always been a huge RS fan since the N64 and then again on the Xbox with RS3 and Black Arrow. I haven’t played Vegas though as I waited until recently to purchase my 360 and knew that Vegas 2 was on its way so it was worth the wait. This is by far the game I’m looking forward to and one of the main reasons for me purchasing a 360.

End War - I am really wanting to see some actual game play video soon instead of the teaser trailer but it still looks awesome. I loved Full Spectrum Warrior on Xbox and this looks to be a huge improvement over that. Granted this isn’t supposed to be released until September the teaser has gotten me interested in it.

Bin

Windows - Although this isn’t really on gaming (although I did game on Windows in the past) I made the switch to a Mac earlier this month so Windows is out. However, I do have to purchase a copy of Vista (as my XP disk is 64bit) for boot camp to do browser testing when designing.

Guitar Hero III - This was my first GH game and I loved it. However, 2 weeks after buying it we bought Rock Band and I honestly haven’t touched GHIII since. However it was still worth purchasing because it gave us a 2nd guitar for RB. In fact had some friends over last night to do some jamming and its always fun.

There you have it. My current Play, Want, Bin list. Feel free to post your comments or your own list.
