Nose to the Grindstone

Yes I am back at work and boy does it suck.  Well at least I have a nice new location with a window view, Chad & I can just about see where El Matador and DM sit, although we do need a pair of binoculars!!!

Well as far as my wife’s recovery goes, her mother is up to stay with us for a week, thankfully she is someone I get on very well with and between the two of us we are able to help my wife when ever she needs it.

As far as the Xbox goes, I have got stuck on Force Unleashed, although I will come back to it, have just beaten Tiger Woods in his 2009 version and after a weeks playing the dreadfully ordinary Blacksite (or the online version Blackshite) and the awesome NHL09 (both rented from Blockbusters), I am currently playing Band of Brothers Hells Highway.  I have not played any of the previous versions of this and so far I am quite pleased with it.  I have played Medal of Honor and Call of Duty many times so I was looking for something a little different to keep me interested.  So far I have not been disappointed, the squad aspect of the game, controlling one or more additional groups of troops, allows you to have one squad of men lay down suppressing fire, whilst either you or another squad, flank the enemy (I said flank) and get the kill shots in.  The achievements for the game are I think almost spot on, however I think the Multiplayer ones won’t interest me as they are all worth 0 points, and there are 4 acheivements for playing this game over time periods, every day for a week, at least once a week for 3 months, every day for 100 days and on Sept 17th.  Come one those are just a little ridiculous, the question is will someone come up  with a way to cheat those as I can’t see people holding on to the game for 100 days before trading it in, however I can see me renting the game out Sept next year for the 50 points it would bring (I am an Acheivement Whore, I have been Achievement free for for 12hrs and 43 mins).
