Daily Xbox 360 Challenge - Day 23
Most Disappointing Game
Bioshock 2. If I even need to justify that then clearly you’ve never played the magnificence of Bioshock
Banjo Kazooie N&B. Loved the N64 versions, my Xbox was bundled with BK: Nuts and Bolts and what a train wreck it was :(

Hardest Mission/Level/Quest
Claws Out - it’s an unmarked quest in Fallout: New Vegas in which you have to venture into Quarry Junction and eliminate the Deathclaw Mother and Alpha Male - as well as the 15 or so other normal and baby Deathclaws that are around the place. Some many deaths, some many different approaches.
Takedown! The 5th mission in COD MW2 on veteran. My worst ability...

Conker: Live and Reloaded
The funniest game I ever played on. Waited 10 years for this moment and it was worth the wait. It may be heavily censored but my god it is still a work of genius.
RIP Rare

Game you’re most looking forward to
Batman Arkham City, took me ages to get around to play through Arkham Asylum and it just blew me away and I can’t wait to play the next installment.
I was like a kid at Christmas in the run up to Brotherhood being released but for now I’m looking forward to Batman Arkham City.

Little Big Planet 2
WHOA! I thought Little big Planet was good. This, is fantastic!!
I’ve only played the first two worlds, but already I’m finding it much better than the original. I can’t think of many games where adding a 2 to the end of it’s title has made it better, but Little Big Planet 2 is one of them!
I’ll save a proper review for when I’ve done a lot more of it, but...

Recently, Rep. Joe Baca (D CA-43) introduced H.R. 400. This bill, if passed, would require a warning label be affixed to all games rated T or up by the ESRB, regardless of the content descriptors. The warning would read: `WARNING: Excessive exposure to violent video games and other violent media…

Mario Kart Wii
Finding it hilarious playing/watching my housemates play Mario Kart on the Wii. Also rather glad that it’s not just me yelling at a TV screen for once, the swearing is rather funny - saying that I’m by far the worse culprit for the bad language, but I am always best at the game so it balances out somewhat.

Most Overrated Game
Burnout Paradise - not sure if it was really that massive rated at all but in my books it was very poor and a terrible continuation of the franchise.
One that I haven’t brought but borrowed, Lego Star Wars. Having just completed Lego Batman and loving every minute of it I had high hopes but these were crushed by poor gameplay, unfunny jokes and large chunks of story...

Any strange glitches/bugs you’ve found
Fallout New Vegas
The usual spawning vehicles mess of GTA IV and also too many to mention in both of the Fallout games (especially New Vegas which has the lovely habit of crashing when you have been out exploring for an hour and it hasn’t autosaved GRRR)

trgameblog:
A childhood friend of mine went through six pads for his PS2. He would violently throw them against the wall in frustration when a game got the better of him, cutting off his nose to spite his face. Then he had to get his Mum to buy him a new nose for £35 before tearing it off his face and breaking it again. I have never broken a pad. I dropped my first PSP and the...
galaxynextdoor asked: I fear Silent Hill won't be "Silent Hill" again until Team Silent is reformed but Konami doesn't want that. They want to pawn it off to different developers now. Sad but true.

Least Favourite Hero
Delta from Bioshock 2 - pretty much everything about that game would fit into at least a Top 5 least favourite things for the Xbox 360.
Ghost from MW2. He thinks he is a badass because he wears a mask with a skull on it but that didn’t help when Makarov and LTG Shepard shot you.
