Well, over the last week I needed a new game to play and I fell into a trap. Game Pass now of course has EA Games to play and I spotted Peggle 2. I figured since I aced the 360 version, let’s do it with the Xbox One version. Now, while from what I can tell I still have “it” so to speak and have blasted through 40 levels and trials, I forgot how much of a physical headache it causes. I’m sleeping worse than usual, truth be told. I really don’t want to go past beating the game and it’s trials if I don’t have to (meaning I have little desire to complete the optional objectives).
Thankfully, to get me out of my rut when I was looking around last night, I saw a wonderful thing. NHL 94 Rewind. Full disclosure, I played the living crap out of this game on the Sega Genesis when I was in my college years along with 93, 95, and any NHL game up to about 98 before it got a little “too real” for me. Now, some 25+ years later, you want to relive that time with achievements? Sign me the heck up. And I played it for about an hour last night, and I freaking love it. Of course, it’s updated with new rosters (no Jaromir Jagr or Mario Lemieux unfortunately) but it still has the same gameplay that I love so much. I will be 100% this game, and I will love every minute of it.
Anyway, here are the sales for this week – https://majornelson.com/2020/11/30/this-weeks-deals-with-gold-and-spotlight-sale-plus-black-friday-cyber-monday-sale-2/
On the Xbox 360 side, some Far Cry, some old school Assassin’s Creed, some Blood Knights but nothing too much unfortunately. I guess that is to be expected for the drop off from Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Note, if you get swayed easy by games that are cheap like Alien Spidy, don’t get it. It has plenty of broken achievements and apparently isn’t even a good game. Now, I did buy Anna and it’s pretty decent so you might want to pick it up because it’s not on sale all the time (but it’s not BC though). On the Xbox One side, I did pick up Eventide Collection because good easy point and clicks are good for me every once in a while. Anyway, have a good weekend and enjoy.
