Bejeweled LIVE (WP) -  Just over 505k/1mil gems If i can maintain my ~6k gems an hour i only have another 82.5 hours left! Woohoooo!!!

Bug Village (WP) - Still working towards the 300k acorns and lvl 25. Then i need to delete the game and reinstall to get the 100 stink bug squishes and Lady Bug saves. This game was aptly titled.

BulletAsylum (WP) - Finished. Recommended.

EA Active 2 (Kinect) - daily work out and 30 mountain biking runs. now at ~65/500

KoF: Sky Stage - think i am going to give up on this one for now. Wasted a couple hours today and was doing SOOO much worse than yesterdays attempts.

NFS: The Run - going to leave my system on over night. Hopefully i keep getting thrown into races all night long so i can work closer to my rank 30.

PocketGod (WP) - Tried for Ooga Jump. Made it to 1700 ft Need to try and get 6k :-/ The trick is definitely hitting consecutive storm clouds.

Lots of Fez and Gears 3.

Fez is SERIOUSLY big, like Mario 64 big. And it's addictive as hell...

I've been playing quite a lot of MGS4 and it's pretty damn cool.

I played through Katamari Damacy. Something must be wrong with me. I didn't think I actually had time to play games....

Apples to Apples(XBLA) - Started this. Did all the solo stuff and some of the online things. Need to pay 500 matches online which i plan on starting to chip away at soon.

Bug Village (WP) - close to 250k/300k acorns. Still need to do some leveling up though. I am hoping i can get enough XP from buying shit with all those acorns that i can hit lvl 25so i can delete and reinstall and start working on the damn glitched out bug kills.

EA Sports Active 2 - daily workout and another 30 biking sessions.

Monster Island(WP) - Picked up and started this today too. Another miniclip release. Almost a complete rip off of Fragger. Only made it 10 levels in before moving on and am happy to report there are more changes than i had originally anticipated.

NFS: The Run - Made no appreciable progress last night before getting disconnected from the servers. Today finished the first half of the challenges. Will finish the second half tomorrow ideally. I was debating not going back to this but i am glad i pushed myself through it. I need to complete more retails*



*After the TA site update today i was ranked 50/177,575 (actually i am tied for 47th) for "arcade" completions.

EDIT
Monster Island does have an achievement for buying 3 items in game. Which can only be done with Microsoft Points. AFAIK this is against MS policy. Wonder why they let it through...

Just started El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron (Xbox360) yesterday and ... it is interesting.

For puzzling before sleep and between things, Tetris: Worlds (GBA) and Picross DS (NDS).

And, always Magic: The Gathering Online

[Seno]

A bit of Space Pirates and Zombies - couldn't get into it just seemed really slow and dull, think t'm going to give limbo another go

[FireStar]

Lotsa of Xenoblade and a little Team Fortress 2. Still haven't got too far in the actual story of Xenoblade yet.

Bug Village (WP) - Close to 270k acorns. Lvl 21 :-/

EA Sports Active 2 - daily workout

Kriss-X (XBLA) - weird crossword game. In reality Konami just ripped off Jumble. About halfway done with it.

Monster Island (WP) - Probably 3/4 of the way through this one. Easier than Fragger by a long shot. I like it WAAAAY batter. Fragger just pissed me off to no end and was not nearly as fluid/responsive.

NFS: The Run - Only ended up doing 2 challenges. I think i have 3 left and then i want to take my final unlocked car and clear the game on extreme.

EDIT
Ended up opening my Dead Rising 2 Zombrex Edition finally. Buddy asked for help. After i give him a hand i'll end up shelfing the game for ages since i have no desire to play the first Dead Rising or the XBLA versions again i don't see why this would be different.

The Witcher 2 and Trials Evolution.

[Barracuda]

Farcry 2 - I'm liking this game but it is super frustrating. Bullets from a mounted machine gun don't go through car windows or hit a person using a mounted machine gun while at point blank range.   

[Tynstar]

Finished off Mayhem and National Geographic Challenge.

[Silent Scythe]

Metroid Prime 3

Also the power light on my 3DS is busted already.

Since last update:
Bug Village(WP) - Got 300k acorns and passed lvl 22

Monster Island (WP) - Finished it. Was the 7th person to do so. It has also been pulled from the market place already. I assume because you have to buy an achievement. You can still buy it if you have the Zune direct link.

EA Sports Active 2 - daily workouts and 30 bike courses.

KrissX - finished this one too.

NFS: The Run - played online to unlock a car to make a set of challenges easier. Gotten gold on a few more but not all in a single set.

Dead Rising 2 - went back and played more. Might actually try and finish this one up.
