Quick Update

* Managed to do Final Exam in BC: Rearmed, and finished the game too. Only 3 achievements left to get.
* Started playing the drums in Rock Band again since my neighbour moved out. Woo!
* Bought Duke Nukem 3D from XBLA. I only ever played the shareware version on the PC so it's nice to play through the whole thing and try out multiplayer now.
* DS is taken up with Apollo Justice Ace Attorney recently.
* Got an iPhone, Monkey Ball is superb.

Final Exam

I've reached the final Challenge Room in BC: Rearmed, and it's agonizingly difficult. I've made it very near to the end twice and ran out of the 90 seconds both times. No humans could possibly do this.



Maybe after another 100 attempts, I'll make it...

Bionic Commando

Second purchase from XBLA, and i'm really enjoying it. The controls and gameplay are very difficult to get used to at first, but the Challenge Rooms go some way to ingraining the mechanic into your mind.

I've managed to get some fairly respectable times in some of the rooms, grabbing a three-figure leaderboard placing for a few.

I've hardly made progress through the actual game yet, though. The most fun part so far is the boss battles, a few are absolute genius and great fun to figure out.
