Okay okay, I'm back, finally completed Final Fantasy XIII 100% and gotten all achievements, it wasn't that hard, the only one that took a while was really the treasure hunting achievement which required me to have,all weapons and accessories at some point in the game cue the time consuming act of upgrading weapons and items that I hadn't yet upgraded. Even had to do it twice because the first time I had actually ran out of money and truthfully was a bit wasteful with the points.
So now that is done I don't really need to play it again for a long long while, only for the story which...wasn't that epic but still, challenges or speedruns which I don't feel like doing with this game.
The next game I'll be tackling on the Xbox whenever I feel like it will be Dante's Inferno, an adventure based on the Divine Comedy. Despite whether this game was good or not and the fact that it's a hack and slash sort of adventure, I was always going to play this as I'm a sucker for historical and mythology based games...well, in certain time periods. As I think more about it and my history lesson in schools I guess I felt a bit mislead in what era of history we'd be studying but learning about the French Revolution was really just...well, boring, not enough sense of adventure for me, just learning about laws and similar political things. Ancient history just fascinates me and if I'm playing a game or watching a film or reading a book and having fun at the same time then that's all good I can learn something and even read up more about it and it's all good.
Of course I did get a lot of others to go with it and all for cheap, such is the benefit of being behind gaming wise, you don't have to spend absurd prices for new games, so I got myself Dante's Inferno, Bayonetta (another hack and slash but since it's gotten rave reviews I figured I may as well try it, plus it was cheap), Mirror's Edge (yes I am sooo late to this party but at 4 pounds I figured I can't lose), Assassin's Creed (something I've been meaning to try), The Orange Box (I guess I'll see for myself why the cake is a lie) and finally Zak and Wiki.
Now, Zak and Wiki is the only Wii game I got (not counting Madworld seeing as I got that afterwards and ordered that online) and I have a problem with that, why? Because the Wii I know has far better games than Family Party Games or the Ninjabread Man (seriously?), most of these are core Nintendo titles and there are others that I wish to try, I'm not a huge fun of Metroid like I am of other titles but they are still games I wish to try out regardless but the problem being, you cannot find them anywhere in shops oohh noo, probably understandably because they isn't a great variety and thus those are more likely to be gone but even so, Super Mario Galaxy for 30 pounds? No. I don't think so, yes yes, it's an amazing game that won lots of awards but no, I refuse to pay more than 20 pounds for a game that came out when the Wii was launched and has already gotten a sequel thus should really be diminishing the price because of that.
Epic Mickey, Kirby's Epic Yarn and Sonic Colors (American spelling urgh but unavoidable) are a little too recent to be a cheap prices so I'll wait it out despite my doubts it'll ever get cheaper than a tenner but I'll wait it out regardless, BUT WHERE ARE ALL THE GOOD CHEAP GAMES? This is just why I was disappointed with the Wii after buying it simply so I'd be able to play Brawl I was hoping that by the time I tired of it there'd be a good amount of other good games for me to try and quite frankly the choice for me isn't that huge.
