So over the weekend I was able to complete Cars Mater-National which wasn't on my backlog due to it being a viral game. It wasn't a bad game and it was pretty easy so I guess it was worth it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to work on any of the games I really wanted to work on but I'll keep pumping away at these viral games and at some point I'll be able to dive back into RAGE or some other game.
Next up on my list was Tornado Outbreak which is a really easy game with the exception of 1 achievement. In playing through the game last night I've basically beat the campaign and now I need to go back and just mop up. The last achievement I'll get is for completing all the bonus objectives which there are quite a few. Shouldn't be too bad though. I'm even going to recruit my 7 year old gaming partner. lol Afte that I'm going to jump back into Prototype 2 to see if I can knock that one out pretty quickly.
So I'm a bit anxious about Microsoft Retiring the Xbox 360 because I think my 360 is on it's way out and I've got too many games in my backlog to just not worry about them. Perhaps a lot of them will become backwards compatible but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm thinking once I get through these viral games, I'm going to list my games and use Random.org to pick a number and that will be the game I work on. Or maybe I'll have it pick 3-5 numbers to give me a bit of variety. (obviously the boosting sessions will be excluded because I plan to keep taking part in those)
As April is coming to a close, it's that time again... what will the next Games With Gold offering be? Personally I'm hoping it'll be something I already own so that I can either turn in the physical copy or not have to worry about playing it. If I had to give my predictions... I'd go with Ryse or Dead Rising 3 for the Xbox One and probably something like Bioshock or one of the newly released backwards compatible games.
