Week of 3/23/09 cmfl3x’s Gaming Thoughts

Being XBox free has given me the chance to check out some stuff I’ve missed

Yesterday, UPS called me and said that I will be receiving a package between 8 AM and 7 PM tomorrow that requires a signature. Crossing my fingers that I will be home in time to receive said package. I haven’t been gaming too much these past two weeks, but I’ve been keeping up with some of the GDC news and found my gaming fix elsewhere. Check out my thoughts after the jump.

Not much new stuff on sale this week compared to last week except for some old games for cheap at Newegg & Amazon, and Target offering a B2G1 free deal in-store on all Wii titles. Also a little surprising to see Amazon offering Wanted for a reduced price so close to release.

Xbox Live Arcade deal of the week is Alien Hominid HD. I’m considering the purchase myself, as I’ve played the 4-player PDA games with friends when I owned it on the Gamecube and it was a lot of fun. The actual game itself though, is probably as hard as Contra without the 30 man code. So yeah…I dunno if I have what it these days takes to actually play the real game!
