Full Steam Ahead! April netted me 4005 gamerscore, with 10 completed games! Six of those games were ones I began in previous years, so it was a very productive month on my backlog!
I earned enough achievement point during the month to put my average a full third above my goal of 100 points a day. And I now only need to finish 29 more games by year's end to hit my goal of 150 total finished Xbox 360 games.
The review-writing portion of my resolution is still floundering, however. I didn't really like how I was presenting them. I plan on returning to my Those Games We Play webcomic and including all these new game reviews there, but that is a ways off.
Recapping my finished games progress:
de Blob 2: Finished with 845 of 1000 achievement points. An excellent help to the overall standing of my score's percentage. I want to go back and pick up the remaining points, but that requires replaying each chapter's storymode so that is several hours of time consumption that might be better spent finishing other games. Really enjoyed this game, though.
007 Blood Stone: Gathered 425 of 1000 gamerscore. Kinda dull shooter, only tried one game online.
Call of Duty Black Ops: 325 of 1300 achievement points, 25%. This is the only Call Of Duty single player game I've yet to complete, and I pretty much had to force myself to do it. I found it rather uninteresting and it long overstayed its welcome.
Blue Dragon: 795 out of 1000 gamerpoints. It only took me about 3 years and over 100 hours, but I beat the game with the majority of the achievements. Other than 20 hours or so of level grinding at the end, I enjoyed this JRPG.
A Kingdom For Keflings: 180 of 200 gamerscore, for 90%. I forgot about this game. All I had left to do was the castle for a quick completion.
Beyond Good and Evil: 200 of 200 achievement points. This was a game I never got around to completing on the original Xbox (hence the eventual need to make a resolution to finish more games). Glad I finally got around to it.
Mortal Kombat (2011): 220 of 1000 gamerscore. Rented this one and enjoyed the story mode, as it explained the history and relationships of the characters in a very comprehensive way. I'll definitely buy this when it hits $20.
Wallace & Gromit Episode 1: 155 out of 200 achievement points, for about 77%. I was initially put off by the non-authentic voice for Wallace. But it still was enjoyable, and I'll get the other episodes whenever they go on sale.
Star Wars The Force Unleashed 2: 470 of 1200, for 39%. An entertaining game for the most part, aside from the overlong boss fight stages. Might playthrough again to pick up some more points.
Guitar Hero World Tour: 275 out of 1000 gamerscore. I had difficulty with 3 songs, but I managed to beat the guitar career on hard. Yay me.
Overall, I managed to get 48% of the total achievements for those completed games. That help boost my total percentage to just over 26%. I'll have to keep up the pace to hit 35% by the end of the year. I'm game!
