Gruel's Game-a-Thon

Saturday the indy game store, Rock 30, hosted a Guitar Hero 2 tournament. It was double elimination. In the first round randomly picked contestants picked one song each in pro face off mode. If both players won a round the managers would pick a tiebreaker song.

So with 32 competitors, the first round lasted a good 3 and a half hours. In the first round I went up against about a 15-16 year old and all 1st round songs were medium difficulty by the way, I picked YYZ, I didn't miss too ...

Game #13 beaten - Syberia II - This picks up exactly where Kate Walker's last adventure left off.

Right now I am a couple hours into The Shield on PS2 (yeah I know it's crap from what I heard, but I love the show, so screw it) and I finally started and beat the first case in the ...

-Hey Yo! I am getting pretty close to wrapping up my nice three day break from work, and I made the absolute most out of it. I am just starting to unwind from it all.

-On Thursday I met up with Matt, and we did a nice marathon of old school gaming. We played a bunch of co-op side scrolling action games, and during that marathon I beat my seventh, eighth, and ninth games for the year. But before I mentioned those I gotta mention how we came so close to beating two other games. First, ...
