Welp, gaming wise last week was probably best described as weird.  I blew through Altered Beast, I put Peggle down again (got the 20 million achievement and took a honest look at the Peggle Nights challenges left and said NOPE :)), re-started Minecraft Story (Episode 4), and started Batman: Arkham Asylum (Xbox One version).  AA is such a lovely game, seriously.  Provided I get enough time, it will be quite enjoyable going through it again.

But enough about that.  We have sales! Much like Altered Beast was last week, Fighting Vipers has to be the I’d buy that for a dollar and complete in about an hour game.  Virtua Fighter 2 also falls into that group, but it will cost you a couple of dollars instead.  Daytona USA is also easy achievement fodder, but it was GWG I believe a while back (and I’ve already beat it) so $5 seems a little too much.  The Worms games seemed shoe ins for backwards compatibility when we started this thing so I don’t even know what to think with those games.  Maybe today, maybe not.  Enjoy kids.

Again, this past week was a series of I didn’t get to really play anything except some Peggle because I was bored.  I have played the original Peggle (backwards compatible) off and on for about as long as I have owned an Xbox 360.  I never quite got everything mostly because I lose interest after a while  Well this past week, I did finally finish off the challenges in the original version (not Nights).  I’ll probably try to finish up the 20 million achievement as well and then put it back on the shelf for another year or so.  I honestly don’t think I will ever have enough patience to do the 100% clear all original levels but I might try to do all of the challenges in Nights.

Anyway, we do have a few BC games on sale this week this week.  Altered Beast everybody should pick up at a $1 if you don’t already have it.  For the very simple reason, I picked it up last night and tried to get the multiplayer achievement….except nobody was on.  So get on that!  The same could be said with Toe Jam & Earl at $2.49.  We should get a couple of BC announcements today, maybe we’ll get Max Payne 3 or something.  We can hope.  Enjoy.
