What’s missing from xbox live

November 9th, 2008 | Posted in Video Games
EA Sports, Inc

Maybe this is more of a request for EASports games, but I’ll assume its something xbox live could fix.

I tend to play a lot of sports games. I’ve had friends over that have their own xbox live accounts and every time they have to recover their gamer tag even though its listed as a gamer tag to pick when the sign in.

Now for my bigger complaint. My friend brought over his copy of Tiger woods 09. I had already rented this game once and had my golfer profile all setup and my easportsworld account setup. Since we both have Xbox live accounts, I would have like to see his golfer and all of his stats pulled in so we could each us our own golfer and easportsworld account so we could continue tuning our golfers and earning money. Forcing him to use a pre-built or start a new golfer on my xbox, ruins the fun of having friends over to game. The same thing happened when we played madden 08, his record,stats, ring builder achievements within the game did not care over to my xbox.

I really wish the sign-in process was much smoother and ALL the settings,stats,profile details for EA sports games could follow the player no matter where they played.

We still had a great time, he kicked my butt in tiger woods and I beat him by 7 in madden.

The Lions, the ring, and the xbox

July 6th, 2008 | Posted in Family, General, Home Theater, Video Games

What a 4th of July weekend so far. We took Grace to duck lake state parks it was great weather and we all had a great time. Towards the end of the day Melissa and I were playing catch with a football in the water, I reached out with my left hand to make a catch and my wedding ring went flying off, we sent about 20 minutes but we couldn’t find it. Better mine then hers, I can get another ring much easier than Melissa can.

lionssofatc15 Melissa had to work Saturday morning, I decided that Grace and I would pickup some flowers and take them into work to surprise Melissa. Since we where all in Muskegon we decided to do some shopping. We stopped to look for a bed from Grace, I was checking out their home theater stuff and saw they had lionsreclinerbd Lions furniture. I thought Melissa would get a kick out of it so I showed it to her. She went nuts over it and wants to get it for the basement. I like the stuff, but I can’t believe she’s so crazy for it.

We stopped by BestBuy to look at the Flip video and try to find the new two disc version of gears of war. The Flip Video was a bust, they couldn’t get their demo unit to turn on. But I did get Gears of War. Wow, incredible game, but either I’m really bad at it or its really hard!! I played for about 2 hours  tonight. Anyone else get the game recently and want to play co-op let me know.

Ouch, madden 08

February 24th, 2008 | Posted in Video Games

I just played my first few games of madden 08 on xbox live. The first game I played ‘unranked’ so I could drop the skill down to pro. The guy I was playing was good, I was up 10-0 and he dropped. I continued playing the game, but it didn’t give me an online win!! WTF. Also what does unranked mean?

I tried playing a quick match ranked and got my butt handed to me the Dallas D killed me. I couldn’t do anything on offense and couldn’t stop the them. I was the Colts. I guess you live you and learn. I think I need to find more newbies or play offline some more.

If your up for a game let me know gamertag is benwaynet.

What other games should I take a look at?

I so suck at shooters using the two analog sticks. I’m use to a mouse and keyboard from PC games.

Geeky weekend

October 28th, 2007 | Posted in General, Video Games

Melissa went to her fathers this weekend and took Grace with her, so I had some friends over to game on the Wii and PS2. We had fun with madden, but even more fun with Wii bowling and Mario Strikers. Strikers is a sweet game. We spend a few hours playing that game. I also rented God of War 2, that game has some incredible levels and the story and mood is very intense. Even the people watching others play where yelling at the screen.
