Halo 3

Play, Want, Bin: July 2008

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

Super Mario Galaxy - This is still one of the best games for the Wii and I’m playing through it right now. Me and Mario go way back and this game never disappoints. It is one of those games that you must play on the Wii. Great use of the controls and the whole flying between planets/stars is a great addition to the normal Mario levels.

Halo 3 - I have no clue why I keep coming back to Halo 3 but I always do. I binned it awhile back and here it is back in play. I had a break from gaming (the reason there was no play, want, bin last month) for the past few weeks and have been in the mood to shoot some people in Halo. Maybe I’m just looking forward to Halo Wars also.

Want

Soul Calibur IV - I was a fan of Soul Calibur II on the original Xbox. It was also my first time with a Soul Calibur game. I have seen and heard great things about the game so it is at least worth a rent but I might end up buying it. Either way I’m checking it out.

Nintendo DS - I have wanted a DS for awhile and finally going to buy one soon. My son is wanting one for Christmas so it is the perfect excuse to get myself one as well. I have several games on my list that I want to check out and my son has already been looking at games for him. What games are a must have?

Bin

Nothing has really been binned recently. Most of that is because I haven’t spent a lot of time gaming the past month and with our upcoming move into a new place, my gaming time will be limited again.

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

Play, Want, Bin: April ‘08

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

Grand Theft Auto IV - Okay, so last night I spent about two hours in Liberty City doing missions and the game is awesome. Remember that I have never played another GTA as I’ve never owned a Playstation before so this is my first time on a GTA game. It did take a little to get used to it and I’m still learning things but it has been great. I’m mostly doing missions as freeroaming has never really grabbed me. Of course maybe because I haven’t spent any time exploring the city yet as I’ve been doing only missions, I will need to explore a little and see how it goes. I also haven’t tried MP yet as I wanted to get the hang of things first but plan to do a little MP tonight as honestly that is what I got the game for. I enjoy SP but for me every game is about the MP. As I doubt I will be on any other game for about a week this is my only ‘Play’.

Want

Mario Kart Wii - I am a huge Mario Kart fan and have been looking to it coming to the Wii since I got my Wii at launch. It is finally here but I don’t have a copy yet. I hope to pick it up by the end of the month along with an extra wheel/controller and start racing. Chase is looking forward to the game as he loves Excite Truck but has been playing it since the Wii launch so it is getting a little old. I know several people that have the game and love it so I’m looking forward to it the most.

Wii Fit - I know a few people who bought Wii Fit and love the games involved in it. The wife and I have been looking at it and I recently watched some other videos and reviews on it and will be glad to get it. It doesn’t seem to be an ‘amazing’ game but still looks worth the buy so hope to get it real soon as well.

Burnout Cagney Update - I still love Burnout Paradise and even with GTA IV it remains my favorite game right now. The upcoming update in 50-something days will be great and will draw me right back to it for several weeks. The update include night-time driving, motorbikes, online freeburn modes including Stunt, Marked Man, and Road Rage, and plenty more. I’ve watched videos and read up on the update and just can’t wait for it. Also, looking forward to the new island later this year as well which will just draw me into it even further.

Bin

Halo 3 - I really enjoyed Halo 3 but between RS Vegas 2, Burnout Paradise and now GTA IV it just hasn’t gotten any play for months. I never did finish the story (am about half way through the last level) but since I’m not a GamerScore Whore like somebody else I know it won’t bother me to bin this game and not have all The G’s.

Play, Want, Bin: March ‘08

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

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - Yes, the game I have been looking forward to most of all is finally here. Got my copy of RS Vegas 2 on Wednesday (nobody had it Tuesday) after driving to 5 different places (for the second day). I ended up getting it at Gamestop (which I never go to, just don’t care for them much). I gotta say its awesome. Gone through the first two levels on Story (gotta find somebody to do co-op through it though), play some Team Leader (which is pretty cool), and of course the great Terrorist Hunt which is always fun. I love the ACES system and the new weapons and maps. Overall this game will be taking up plenty of my time in the coming months.

Rock Band - We’ve been spending more time on Rock Band recently with family and having friends over for some ‘jam sessions’. Its always lots of fun. Had some drum and guitar battles last time when some friends brought their drums over. Need to purchase some new songs though.

Want

End War - This was on the ‘Want’ last month but as RS Vegas 2 came with a sneak peek bonus disk for End Wars it is back. The disk showed the trailers and finally some gameplay footage of the Fragdolls playing. Granted it didn’t show much as it spent most of the time showing the dolls instead of gameplay but from what I saw and they talked about the game will be an awesome RTS for the 360. This is my most wanted game of the year now that I have Vegas 2.

Army of Two - I love Co-Op games and this one looks awesome and everybody I know who has it just love it. I didn’t get it yet because I was waiting to see if my brother in law would get it as we do pretty good on Co-Op. However, as right now everybody is doing other games I have passed on this… For now anyways. Would still like to pick it up.

Bin

Mighty Mouse - I’ve been on a Mac for only a short time and the Mighty Mouse was okay at first but as I work from home and the amount of time I spend on it the Mighty Mouse just wasn’t doing it. I am now back to using my Logitech mouse which just feels much better after hours of use and my hand relaxes more with it. Sorry Mighty Mouse.

Halo 3 - I’ve been on Halo 3 since just after its launch and its time to bin it. RS Vegas 2 has taken its place. I will end up getting on it a little as my brother in law won’t get Vegas and plans to stick with Halo and we do a lot of gaming together. I might get on it if the first Map Pack goes free soon to check them out since the new Map Pack was announced already.
