I think I am going to step away from the contest this year. After two weeks visiting family out of state and two more battling gabapentin withdrawal, not playing any video games during that time, I have realized that they aren’t as important as I once thought. I am going to visit more family for another two weeks starting Wednesday, and have spent last week planning a vacation with my sister, so I will be away from gaming even more for the next few months. Hopefully I will find a balance and can join again next year.

- +1 - Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter - another classic I used to play in the arcades. Mechanics have definitely aged and it’s incredibly basic from a systems perspective, but still a great part of the collection.
My pace has slowed a lot lately, largely because the state of politics and the world has me feeling pretty hopeless lately, so like @Searsy82 I’ve been diving into a lot of nostalgia-gaming (aside from my daily ventures to Fallout 76). Playing a ton of Dark Souls and classic SNES-OG Xbox either on XSX or my Retroid Pocket 5.

+1 Batman Arkham City
Total = 6
Great games, though I hear most people say that City is their favorite Arkham game. I liked Arkham Asylum and Arkham Knight more.

Nice!
I haven’t played Knight yet but I preferred Asylum over City as well. Good games though!

I’m trying to do a few smaller games alongside Mafia: The Old Country lol, which I need to take a minus for:
-1 Mafia: The Old Country
Hoping I can get into positive figures in the next week or two, then planning to jump into another massive game that’ll probably last me until The Outer Worlds 2 lol - although I’ll try and get a few other small games done during them…

I’ve been not updating for a while, so not going into as much detail as I normally do. Also have more game pass games I completed but I am not going to list right now.
+. 5 Forza Horizon 3 Hoonigan dlc
+. 5 Forza Horizon 3 Hot Wheel dlc
+. 5 Forza Horizon 3 Blizzard mountain dlc
Went back and finished all the achievements I could get that don’t require multiplayer, still a great game but I still think the first and 5th ones are my favorites.
+0 (free) Forza Horizon 2 Fast and Furious game (x360), I had one missing achievement and now that I have an Xbox 360 again I went aback and completed it.
+1 Railbound (great puzzle game)
+1 Anthem (I absolutely loved it)
-1 Mafia Old Country
I think I still have a couple dlc from Minecraft Dungeons that I finished to add but I have to look up which ones

Nice! I am about to finish FH2 here myself, just cleaning up some achievements. 3 is the only one I have left now. For me, FH4 and 1 are the best so far.
Great to see some completions!

I do really like 4 as well, I need to go back and do a bit in there as well. I liked that they kept adding in stories over the life of it, it was great.

And for me FH3 and FH5 are my fav of the series, though I have always been more interested in the FM series. So the racing cars pack in FH3 and the dedicated race track in FH5 may be swaying me…

- -1 - Helldivers (XSX) - This is one of the only Sony-published titles that I’ve actually loved over the last decade, and I figured the cheevos would be worth another run after my PC-based spread of democracy. Arrowhead has supported the game well post my review and I wanted to provide an extra bit of my own.

Bought, if for no other reason, to expedite the tearing down of walls between systems and software.

Quick question: How are we handling Gears of War Reloaded? I got a free code from Xbox (like probably most of us,) so I guess it’s considered a gift?
1 Like
Yeah, it’s a gift. I was thinking about this too and was about to post lol.
So, those of us who got Gears of War: Reloaded because we owned Gears of War: Ultimate Edition won’t lose a point for it.

Forza Horizon 2 +1
Had a great time with this, another good FH game! Though it’s always a little bit weird playing these “ghost games” which are abandoned and delisted, and this one suffered much more for it than FH1 which I played last year. A LOT of the game, and what would make the game feel complete was either missing or a shell of what it’s supposed to be. Which is a real shame, cause this would have been great back in the day I can imagine.
Still a very good progression, where you are not given 2000 cars immediately and you have to work your way up a little. Much more to my liking than the later games where you barely get out of the intro before you are showered in multi-million dollar cars. I kind of hope there’s some more sense of progression in FH6, at least as an option.
All in all, a very good arcade racing game with some cool cars and a nice map. Wish I had the DLC.
Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay (Game Pass) +0
Well, decided to do this before it leaves GP… It’s a kids game so all the tedious repetition of instructions and slow af, as you can expect. Ah well, another 1K GS.

Forza Horizon 1 is why I bought my Xbox 360, and Forza Horizon 2 is why I eventually got my Xbox One.
