UHH and more

So I'm not really sure what possessed me to sign up for UHH 3... I like the idea but seeing as I play 3 nights a week already, it just doesn't leave me enough time to work on the games that I was given. My list isn't all that hard but some of them could require longer playthroughs. Seeing as this isn't an elimination round, I might go for whatever I can unlock easily and then move on. Or I may just throw in the towel and play the games I want to play. I will say though, I started playing RYSE: Son of Rome last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I didn't have as many games as I do right now to play, this would be one I could have some fun in.

Speaking of games I want to play and whatnot.. I've determined that my plan going forward will be to work on some of the lower hanging fruit in my backlog. I started by playing and completing Plants vs Zombies which wasn't tough but the last achievement took some time and effort. Once that was finished I decided to jump into A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV. Most of the game was straight forward.. I only had a little bit of an issue with the Perfect Combination achievement. (at least that is what I thought the name was). Going forward my plan is to play the following games when I'm playing solo...

Age of Booty
Alone In The Dark
Batman - The Telltale Series (Episode 1)
Ben-Hur
Captain America: Super Soldier
Castle Crashers (got to see if I can duel box it with my X1 and X360) :p
Dead Rising 2: Case Zero
Energy Cycle
Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game Series (episode 1)
I Am Alive
King's Quest
Knight Squad
Layer's of Fear
Mega Coin Squad
Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
Oxenfree
Pneuma: Breath of Life
Tales From The Borderlands (episode 1)
The Bridge
Truth or Lies

One other item that will take my attention away from this would be the server closures that are coming up. @JelliedBigfoot and I have been working on NHL 12, NHL 13, Madden 13 and FIFA 14. I'm not sure how far we're going to be able to get but there are only a hanful of achievements left that we can potentially grab. Once those games are done, we're probably going to jump into the newer versions of NHL or continue on with some other co-op games on our list.

My Monday and Friday nights will be consumed with Halo 4 and Rainbow Six: Vegas. Both are really good games and I actually had an offer from someone last night that said he could offer 4-5 people to get the 16 player achievement. Now THAT would be awesome is it was the one that might've kept me from completing the game. There is still much to do in Vegas but I'm looking forward to it. I also would like to get back to Halo 5 with @bhogan1 and @JohnPicklewilly as well as Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

So yeah, my plate is full but if I can accomplish even half of what I wrote about here.. I'll be a happy man!

Until next time my friends...

So many games, so little time. Let's retire and play games full time!

Pneuma: Breath of Life is an easy and quick completion. It is essentially a series of puzzles. A walkthrough is handy . . . at least it was for me.

I am playing through I Am Alive now. I haven't made it very far yet. My goal is to complete it before the servers close. Even though it's a single player game I don't want any hiccups when the servers are no longer available.

I'd love to get back to Halo 5 as well. I know we've all been busy with other stuff. That's why I haven't been nagging. Maybe we can find someone else that wants to join us to complete the campaign on Legendary difficulty.

We're not too far from getting through Borderlands The Pre Sequel. We just need to level up a bit more. We need to tackle that one mission that requires four players. Then we can power level our Claptrap characters. I already have a procedure for doing that. The rest of it we can do on our own.

I wish you much luck on getting through your backlog. As always, let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Most of the games I have listed above are under 10 hours completion so it probably looks a lot worse than it is.

I also want to jump into I Am Alive for the same reasons. I don't think that is a tough one so more than likely I'll look for a walkthrough.

Halo 5 I don't think it'll be an issue. I was even thinking that might be a good game to go to when / if we finish up with Halo 4. Speaking of which, we're going to have to decide if we want to attempt the DLC or not.

You are right about Borderlands... the 4 player mission I'd like to knock off.. then powerleveling and beating the end boss with our level 50s should be easy. I believe that will get us all the quest and missions. Once we powerlevel I think we'll be good to finish it up either together or whenever. Then we can pick our C game.

Ha! I forgot Borderlands was part of our alphabet challenge. I'll be giving this some thought.

The way I see it... there isn't much to pick from... Condemned 2, Crysis 1,2 & 3 or Crackdown 2 but you have most of the achievements already.

So as part of UHH 3 I played a bit of The Secret of Monkey Island and basically got through the whole story. I'm not sure why it wasn't on this list but I've got one achievement until I knock that one off.
