Welp, no official sales page from the Major today (due to the holiday I’m sure), so I’m doing this with the help from other sources. Still playing a ton of Has-Been Heroes. Still only beat it once. I’ve gotten past the guy with the big shield once and the brothers trio once. And I’ve only managed to make up to the yellow pirate with the lightning rods once (and didn’t do so well). At this point, I’m beating up my head against the wall and getting nowhere. So I think I’m going to put it aside when I hit 25 filled orbs. (at nearly 24 now) I need to play something else even if I go back to Burnout Paradise or something.
As far as this week goes, there are a couple of things that I’m looking at on the X1 side and then one thing on the X360 side. X1, Blackwood Crossing & Trulon: The Shadow Engine. Blackwood Crossing is a little quick to play through (supposedly only a couple of hours and that’s if you don’t bother with a guide) and Trulon got some bad reviews though that was before they fixed the achievements. The story or script of Trulon was written by Jak Koke who I’ve read a few of this books actually (and enjoyed them), so I almost feel like I owe it to myself to give it a shot.
Then on the X360 side, I’m looking at Poker Night 2 which is not BC, but $1.99 for a single player poker experience is right up my alley. However, if I was to guess how much of a chance Poker Night 2 had to be BC, I’d give it around 25% or so. Telltale is really good about putting games on BC, but there are quite a few licenses here…including Adult Swim, 2k, Valve, and then whoever owns the Evil Dead copyrights. So…there is that. Anyway, BC games (Sam n Max’s, Jurassic Park) are well worth their money if you don’t have them and enjoy the rest of your week.
