Halo nurse

So around 6-9 monthes ago Jordan and i started playing a Trilogy. Halo. We had both known about the series but never played and after knowing halo 3 would be coming out this fall we decided to tackle halo 1 and 2 before it launched. I have to admit i never thought id be one of those "Halo" fan boys but after playing the game, (both twice) i have to say i really enjoyed and wanted to play more of it, and unlike fans of the first halo i didn't have to wait long for more story and game play. We played both games over xbox live against real people and after a while i was able to do all right, i think near the end i averaged around 1 death 1 kill then we moved onto the second game. This was quite the change, we got new weapons and saw some of our favorite weapons get changed for better or worse but we played through, and kept on trucking, i have to say im not that much of a fan of the duel wielding but it was a nice open when having 2 needlers. The reason why im writing this post about halo is because saturday night Jordan Stefan and myself played some 3 player online play and it reminded me of how much i loved the game. I hope sometime in the near future we can play it again, Stefan was able to pick up the game quicker then i expected and started to make me look like crap. But we had some fun even though it took awhile at first to get the game going. Halo 3 has some neat new features to it. You are able to edit maps and create movies, we showed Stefan some of the movies (And i could tell he didn't seem to care as much as Jordan and I had about them). So yeah Halo is fun. Play it.

Oh look another post

So we have been playing a DS game for the past few weeks now. Jump! Ultimate Stars. It has popular characters from the Shounen Jump manga magazine in Japan. It is always very addictive. So every week Jordan Stefan and myself have gotten together to play this. We make our own decks and fight each other. Now while im not very good at it, I am having a fun time and I can't wait to get together tonight to play again. I have made a few new decks which i hope might win me a few games, but if not well ill have fun anyways. Also we have been playing some Carcassonne on the Xbox which is also very fun. If you haven't played the board game it is a tile based game. Each turn a place gets a time from the pile and has to place it in a spot where the terrain would match all 4 sides. Then you can place a worker/slave/meeple on either the grass land, road, city or temple. At the end of the game (or when certain tiles are complete) you receive points. And the person with the most win. While i don't win at this game, i can say i dont come in last :D. Lastly we started playing Puzzle Fighter. Which is freaking awesome. Mix tetris with Street Fighter and you have Puzzle fighter. Words can not describe how fun this game is, and whoever is winning can lose at the turn of the hat just by getting the right blocks at the right time. Very fun. Anyways I suggest my readers who haven't tried these games to go out and give them a whirl, and if you don't like them, well i guess it sucks to be you?
