Gaming Resoltions 2011 Update - Top O' The March

Wow, February was not very productive for me.

Not only did I fail to get much gaming accomplished, but I majorly failed in updating this blog about my failing.

Putting bygones behind me, let's see where I stand.

My gamerscore stands at 77,470. That is up only 1745 since my last blog update a month ago. For the month, that puts me about 1000 points behind my established goal of "about 100 points a day". Thankfully, the very productive January I had more than balances out the total.

However, I only finished 3 games during the month of February. That leaves me with 46 to finish over the next 10 months.

I completed Doritos Crash Course, with 70 out of 200 gamerscore; hitting the 35% goal.

I completed Plants Vs Zombies, with 125 out of 200 gamerscore; a very solid 62%.

And I completed Marvel Super Hero Squad The Infinity Gauntlet, with 600 out of 1375 gamerscore; a helpful 43%, not bad for such a short game... too bad it wasn't much fun.

I suppose I could claim to have "beaten" Bejeweled Blitz Live, since you just play 1 minute rounds over and over. I did surpass the 35% gamerscore goal for the game, but I'll wait until I get the "level 50" achievement to call it complete.

My big misstep this month was the number of new games I started that I've yet to complete. Bulletstorm, You Don't Know Jack, Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Zuma, Two Worlds 2, Sonic & Knuckles, Sonic The Hedgehog 3, and Deadliest Warrior. I purposely play games in short burst and play a variety of games each day to avoid getting frustrated or burnt out on a single game. But, as I've mentioned before, this is what leads me to having so many unfinished games.

I'll need to crack down this month and get back on track finishing games and improving my gamerscore average. It will be difficult, as there are a lot of new games I'm very interested in... in fact, Beyond Good And Evil HD comes out today! I can't wait to see if I remember how to play it!

Oh, and yes, I've also failed at my promise to write reviews for every game I finish. Haven't completed a written review all year. That's about as much as I can fail at that, right? Stay tuned to find out!
