Finding the Scarab Gun

A few days ago I finally got the Halo 2 Achievement for finding the Scarab gun, it was an incredibly complicated task that took several days of trying. I've embedded a video below that shows what you have to do.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - Beat It

A few days ago I finished Vegas 2 on Realistic. It felt great to be done with the campaign, now I can focus more on the multiplayer and working my toward the coveted Elite Status.

Crackdown - Beat It!

I just finished Crackdown last night. I'd forgotten how much fun it was to jump from one building to the next. I'm not sure what I'm moving on to next, but I know that I want to finish RSV2 on Realistic pretty soon.

Christian Thoughts on Grand Theft Auto IV

Here are a couple of great reviews and comments that I found from believers on Grand Theft Auto IV.

Gamestop Deal

I just got the weekly Gamestop e-mail and saw that this weekend they are having a buy 2 get 1 free deal on all used games!!! They also have Gears of War for $30. Happy shopping.

Back to Crackdown

Last year when the Halo 3 Beta was going on I rented a copy of Crackdown for a month so that I could get in on the beta, which was awesome!!! In the process I accidentally started playing Crackdown and ended up really liking it. I only played through the first third or so of the game, but I always wanted to get back to it. About a month ago I borrowed a friend's copy of Crackdown and last night I finally cracked it open and started in again. In short, it's a a lot more fun than I remembered and I remembered it as being a lot of fun.

Halo 2 - Beat It

I finished Halo 2 on my PC a couple of nights ago. I still remember waiting in line the night that Halo 2 came out for Xbox. My brother Ryan and I waited at Gamecrazy in Bakersfield, CA. We picked up our copies and rushed home to play. There was a lot of criticism of Halo 2's storyline and there are certainly thing to criticize it for, but none the less it was and still is a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to diving a little more deeply into the multiplayer now.

Frontlines Fuel of War - Beat It

This one is a little bit late, but I rented "Frontlines Fuel of War" last weekend and played through it. I was looking forward to this one, but have to say that I was a little disappointed. The graphics were pretty good and it was a pretty good shooter, but the weapons felt underpowered and in the end the game just seemed to be more of the same. I checked the online action, but each game I got into only had 4 or 5 players in it. I was able to get a few points out of it, but not as many as I would have liked. I did find one glitch that was kind of fun in the achievements, you can read about it here.
