Play, Want, Bin: May ‘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

Mario Kart Wii - This game was on my Want list last month so of course I had been looking forward to it. Finally two nights ago I got to play the game at some friends house. I’m a huge fan of Mario Kart (as well as just about anything with Mario) and was glad to finally play it. Lots of fun. So, yesterday we went and bought Mario Kart Wii as it was about time I get it. The game is lots of fun even though I haven’t really put much time into it yet but I have done a few races, battles, and got online for a few races which is great. Overall, this is the top of my play list right now (Sorry GTA IV).

Wii Fit - Since I bought Mario Kart yesterday the wife wanted to buy Wii Fit. So, we went ahead and purchased both games. We spent a little bit of time with Wii Fit last night after dinner and it was fun, more then I expected. We will see how it goes and I’ll give it a few more days.

Want

Boom Blox - I hadn’t heard of Boom Blox (an EA and Steven Spielberg Game) until a friend asked me about it. I had to look it up and watched some videos and the game caught my attention. Then I noticed on the Nintendo Channel that they had a video of Boom Blox so let Melissa watch it. I think we will be buying this game.

Lego Batman - Everybody knows how great Lego Star Wars is and a lot are looking for to Lego Indiana Jones but personally I’m waiting for Lego Batman. I’m not sure which platform I’ll get the game for as I would like to get my son into the Lego Games and he is used to the Wii Controller and it fits him better vs the Xbox 360 Controller (he is only 5 right now). Who knows, I may not purchase anymore Xbox 360 games until the end of the year for End Wars and GoW2.

Bin

I haven’t really binned anything since last months post, the plus side to the bin being empty is that I don’t have to take it out.

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.

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