So they are actually going to make Mega Man Legends 3. My first thought was "Sweet, I'm really excited," but after really thinking about those games, I remember that they were really clunky and grind heavy. I think my memory made them a little better than they actually were. I hope they take some time and keep good and revamp the bad. I remember grinding forever so I could level up my weapons....
I have to say that Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions was a poor-man's version of Arkham Asylum, which isn't really a bad thing. It's kind of like calling Serria Mist a poor man's version of Sprite. I'll drink both, but I prefer one over the other.

Since I bought my Xbox 360, I've noticed that achievement points have slowly become more and more important to me. When I started playing 360 games, achievements were unimportant to say the least. They were merely random...
NOTE: If you like to collect games or you constantly find yourself playing online multiplayer games, this blog will, most likely, not interest you, unless you just want to hear about the money I saved by using Gamefly. Once upon a time, I collected videogames. I had an alright collection of games with some semi-rare stuff. I was a lightweight when compared to some collectors, but I had some jew...
