The other day I had a chance to pass by Rihab because I had a game in mind.
When I was looking at the games, I was also checking out the Xbox 360 HD-DVD attachment, it was going for 90 KD which is 24KD more then online, but I heard good reviews about it. It plays DVDs even better then normal DVD players, and so I was thinking about it but I will see more reviews about it, it seems pretty good though.
I picked up Pro Evolution Soccer 2007, and Lost Planet. Lost Planet is what I was looking forward to but I needed a game which was multiplayer and the guys like soccer games so I picked both of them up.
Between my Xbox 360 and PS2 I really have a lot of games I haven’t played, and that is not including the games I have for the PC. I’m a gamer and I love games, but for the life of me I can’t find the time to play these games.
I have a few I really want to play:
- Hitman – Xbox 360
- Saints Row – Xbox 360
- Lord of the Ring (Strategy Game) – PC
- Battlefield 2142 – PC
- Naruto – PS2
- NFL Blitz (the new one) – PS2
And there are a couple I just can’t remember a couple of the top of my head. And some of these games are over 6 – 8 months old but still I want to play them because I know they will be entertaining. I need two weeks off to completely play these games, and no sleep!
I have always enjoyed playing risk! But I dont know all the rules since there are quite a few rules to playing the game. Some people take it very seriously and get caught up with all the tactics and intimidation.
The set above is what we bought for use during the trip and it was extremely useful and compact. Its funny how caught up people get with this game, but sometimes it could take a long time to finish even days if people arent aggressive. I loved when someone would attack me with an army of 10 and I had one soldier and I would take them down to three or two with complete luck on my side, it drove them up the wall that they lost a large army. The best is playing with a minimum of 5 people to max of 6, and in the desert we had a great time playing the game during sunset since we had the time while some people prepared the food or other things.
I love playing Risk or Monopoly but its just difficult to get people to sitdown and play, and to find the time to do it. During the desert outing it was the perfect timing!

I have to say that I’m extremely happy with my Xbox 360. I have been using my 360 a lot over the past couple of months. Especially the 360 in my basement it has been on for the past two weeks without any issues, but it is in the best cooling environment. It’s standing up with adequate cooling, and I love how the controllers are very dependable. I have done any updates yet since I don’t want it going dead, but I want to play an Xbox game that needs the update to have it play, but sometimes there are issues. When there is no issues from an update then I will update my console, but I don’t want it to show the red-ring of death after updating the Xbox 360.
I have been playing Oblivion for a while and now Gears of War, followed by Call of Duty 3. I can not complain, I think Microsoft did a good job, but I don’t think the updates are doing a good job. But when they get it right then I will upgrade.
The one game I am looking forward to more then any other game. Halo is so good it should be classified as a genre of its own. Forget the PS3 this is the game that of 2007. No other reason to buy another game!
Halo 1 is so good that it keeps getting sold out in Kuwait, and Halo 2 can only be found in low quantities. People buying X-Box 360s still buy Halo 1 and Halo 2. What does that say.
Just look at the trailer!!!

Three Games that I got from Rihab were:
- Gears of War
- Price: 20KD
- Call of Duty 3
- Price: 20KD
- Need for Speed Carbon (Special Edition)
- Price: 22KD
I played Need for Speed with some friends and it was hilarious. Lots of fun game play and we were enjoying ourselves. The reason I got the special edition is because it has more cars and more tracks. I didnt mind paying the extra 2 KD for some more variety and fun. Its a good group game.
Now Gears of War, thats a whole other subject on it own. Its probably the best Xbox 360 game out since they made this console! The only game I could think that could top it right now would be Halo 3 but its going to be a while before we see that. I have just been playing this game myself not even on Xbox Live, I cant wait to try it online.
I just passed Virgin earlier in the day and they had the PS3 as well as Rihab, but they are selling it for more then Rihab and its the Japanese version only.
Japanese Version only
PS3 60GB
Price: 530KD
PS3 20GB
Price: 499KD
I went to Rihab on Wednesday to look for a couple of new games for my XBox 360. I was really looking for Gears of War and Call of Duty 3, and maybe something else. But I stumbled upon other items in the shops.

I am extremely looking forward to GoW, its meant to be a really good filler for Halo since Halo 3 has been postponed again. It was supposed to be released now, but I think they have pushed it back all the way until Q4 07. So now GoW is supposed to be released November 7th so Im really looking forward to it! This is probably the only game other then Halo that I would buy and play right away! Even though I dont have time, I will make time!
Its anoter cool looking game!
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Halo 3
The King of all games, nothing more to it. I dont care what anyone has to say about it! I still play Halo 1 Multiplayer! Cant get enough of it! I need to play this game!
Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions
I played Battlefield 2 and the game was fantastic, every Battlefield game that they make is extremely successful with the online gaming! I really enjoy honing my skills and getting better kills online! Its so fast and hectic, so it was great playing this game. So Im going to play this game when I get a chance!
The concept of a nautral gamer! That has been in my head for the past couple of weeks. When I say this I am refering to Video Games sepcifically PC or console. The reason this came to mind recently is because I play a lot of games when I have the chance and some of my friends dont.
Whenever I have played games I’ve never played before it usually doesnt take me too long to figure them out. And it doesnt matter what type of game it could be a fighting game, simulator, adventure, strategy, RPG, MMORPG, anything really. Im not saying that I would be the best player at everything, Im just saying that I can play most of these games. And there is always somebody who plays the game better then me, who has a better score or something like that. Thats not really the issue, but some people I can tell are natural gamers. That they can play any type of game and be some what competitive at it.
There are some people who are really bad at video games, I mean they really cant figure out half the buttons on the controller and figure out how to move the character. It drives me nuts when my friend starts playing and doesnt know how to move and look around at the same time! I dont say much, because I have learned to be calmer about it. But I have realized that is something that drives me nuts. I mean he is bad at every video game! Not just specifically one guy, its a couple of people i know, but it drives me up the wall when they play so badly even after I give them some directions and explain what they have to do. I know its only a game, but how come they are so freaking bad! hahaha! People always think of some people as a natural athelete! But nobody has thought of the natural gamer except now! hehehehe
