A lovely milestone

150 retail games completed.

Lovely.

That includes all games that I have hit 1k in - some of which I have gone on to get the extra DLC for and some I have not. I have noticed that my dashboard tally only counts DLC if I play the game after said content is available. My Halo 3 achievements were showing as 800/1000 until about a month ago when I played it again and now it shows as 805/1750. Same with FIFA 09 which I have the full 1k on and plan to never play again - it shows as 1000/1000 rather than 1000/1250. A neat little twist and one that should really be standard on all websites but what are you gonna do?

So anyway, my 150 games are all at 1k and some have the DLC done too. I'm close to adding L4D and WWE 2010 to that number but for now am happy to bask in the glow of such accomplishment.

Unfortunately my final completion to hit the magic number was Monsters vs Aliens, a decent game but one that suffered from shockingly repetitive gameplay. I'm hoping to get stuck into an RPG after I finish up with wrestling, and with my copy of Dragon Age en route it could be the perfect opportunity. I still want to go back to Risen at some point as well - choices, choices.....

On the review front I have Fairytale Fights on my plate, plus Brutal Legend (which kind of fell through the cracks) and the upcoming Dragon Age which will no doubt take priority. Good times.

On the 200k race front my pal Rich is only one thousand points away from the magic number now so it is nearly over. I will have failed in my own personal goal of hitting 175k before someone got to 200k but at least I got close. Perhaps if my rental copy of Terminator Salvation shows up fairly soon then I will be able to make things more respectable. We shall see.
