The Winter Doldrums

There hasn’t really been anything really meaty to report lately; work and other things have been distracting me enough that I’ve only gotten in scattered little bits of gaming here and there:

Arkadian Warriors and GripShift came out on XBLA this week. AW is kinda Diablo-ish, but simplified a lot, and I’ve already got a few other action RPGs to complete (the Champions of Norrath games, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance 2, Sacred 2, etc.), so I’m not really interested in a stripped down version. I did buy GripShift though, even though I already have it on the PS3, since now I can play it on the LCD monitor and the XBLA version has a few more features (achievements, online multi).

I’ve completed a few more championships in PGR4, including a Major, but haven’t unlocked anything else yet. I’m saving up my Kudos for the Aston Martin car package right now, with just another 30,000 or so to go… The competition is getting a bit tougher, and I’ve had to restart some races multiple times now in cases where they got too far ahead and there was no chance of catching up. And I still hate the drift/star-collection events, since it’s something I still can’t pull off consistently.

I’ve also been picking away at WoW a bit, popping on briefly to complete a quest here and there, and gained a few more levels in the last couple weeks to take advantage of rest xp. I don’t really have the time to commit to it seriously right now though, so it’s pretty much something I just fall back on when I want to see some old friends and I’m too bored/lazy to arrange something else.
