  Minecraft, Max Payne 3 and Yardsale Finds

  Well I downloaded Minecraft for my Xbox on the release date and haven't been able to pull myself away from it long enough to tell you guys about or write my review yet. I had never played the full pc release and I was sceptical around the theme of the game but I am hooked. Its great to see a game that doesn't focus on graphics or killing one another. On the release day I played a straight 12 hours without realizing it because I was so immersed into the bit filled world. I have a new copy of Max Payne 3 that I received yesterday that is still in the plastic on my entertainment stand. Today I will be cracking it open and giving it a try. I haven't played the previous instalments to the series but this one looks really impressive. I hope to have a review up within the next week after beating the campaign and playing the multiplayer for a while. I also got a copy of Red Dead Redemption yesterday that is also sitting around waiting to be played. I have wanting it for quite some time now and decided yesterday that I was going to pick up a copy at my local shop for under $20 and can't wait to give it a try. About a month ago my PS2 lens crapped out and started drilling itself into my discs trying to read them. I tried ordering a new part but I couldn't find it anywhere. A week ago I stopped at a yardsale looking for movies and stumbled upon two PS2 systems with all cables, two controllers and 8 games, I asked the guy selling it what he was looking to get for them and he said $30. That was a deal I couldn't say no to, and underneath the wires found a brand new Xbox 360 controller that he sold to me for $5! Have any of you played Max Payne 3 yet? what are your thoughts on the multiplayer? campaign?

  time to put aside my current gaming progress for a new project

  Well after all my new purchases and working on completing them I allowed myself to by another game. (I think I'm an addict) After much thought and research about Mass Effect 3 I have been looking into buying it but have been putting it off to buy other new releases I have wanted. Today I was walking through my local Wal-Mart to see if they had any deals on and lo and behold I found a copy of the game for a mere $30, this was I deal I would kick myself if I missed out on. So now I get to find out the ending that has shaken the ME universe and I get to spend at least 100 hours one of the best games of the decade. What are your guys' opinion on Mass Effect 3? any tips or advice for a new player such as myself? no spoilers as to the games ending or massive parts of the story line please.

  time to get back into the swing of things

  So as you may have noticed I haven't been posting blogs as often as I would like too but I have had so much going on that I haven't even had time to game lately. Now that I have gotten my work done and got other personal things put aside I can get back to doing what I love most, gaming and telling you guys about it. Due to finally being able to game again I decided to go on a small spending spree buying a total of 8 more games for my collection Including Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition, Fable 2 Collectors Edition, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Army of Two, Perfect Dark Zero Collectors Edition, Call of Duty World at War and finally Battlefield 3. I also joined the Xbox Live Rewards program which is really paying off, I have already earned 640 microsoft points by doing things I would have done anyways. With the points I have earned I just purchased Warp from the XBL Marketplace and am eagerly awaiting the completion of its download so I can play and work on writing a review for it. I am working on writing my Halo: Reach review and also due to a few months of playing MW3 I am ready to take a look at my review for it and revise and edit some of the pros I have recently found. Another thing that will be happening soon is collectors edition and equipment unboxing videos for those who take the time to watch my videos on youtube @reviewsandmore919, the first video going up is the unboxing of the Xbox Starter kit followed by Dead Space 2 Collectors Edition, Fallout New Vegas Collectors Edition, Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway Collectors Edition and eventually Alan Wake, Fable 3, Duke Nukem Forever and Dead Rising 2 Collectors Editions.
