Taking the Weekend Off

Aaahhhh, Time to Relax...Aaahhhh, Time to Relax...
Aaahhhh, Time to Relax…

As I’ve said many times before, I’m always trying to strive a balance between blogging game time, free gaming time and the rest of the time I have available in my life. Typically on weekends I use the free time I have to play games for this blog, like last weekend wherein almost all I played was X3: Albion Prelude and Distant Worlds: Shadows.

Welp, it’s a holiday weekend here in the States, and that means I’m taking a holiday to play some games for ME. ;) Since I got this WONDERFUL little Xbox 360 Gamepad for my PC, I’ve just been reinstalling games that were fun with a keyboard, but focused on playing with a gamepad. This includes:

  • Beat Hazard
  • Renegade Ops
  • Batman: Arkham City
  • Viking: Battle for Asgard

And HOLY CRAP am I having more fun with these than ever before (and also doing much better as well). I am so loving this gamepad it’s silly. It’s really revolutionizing the way I play stuff. Truly.

So yeah, I’ll return to form next week with a review of X3: Albion Prelude and whatever else I can fit in. :) I’ve already decided how I’m gonna do my review of Shadows (spoiler: It’ll be a pirate gang run by the nicest pirate y’all ever did see ;), so stay tuned for that as well.

What are you folks playing this weekend? :) Have a good one!
