I’m working to finish up the last few missions in GTA IV, but last night I decided to work on an achievement or two before I make more mission progress. I figured the “Gobble Gobble” achievement, where you have to score a turkey in the bowling mini-game, would be easy enough.
Easy enough, right. The bowling mini-game in GTA IV is atrocious. Frustration would be an understatement. After an hour of fruitless bowling, I did that which I hate — I asked the internet how to do it. I’m not a fan of the cheats but I had wasted time trying to do this, so I ended up at YouTube and found a nice little trick to get the job done.
The point of this is that if it weren’t for the achievement, I wouldn’t have spent more than two minutes playing the bowling mini-game. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not.
– I played the original Madden on the PC 20 years ago. I haven’t purchased a copy of Madden since then (although I’ve played most iterations). Is this the year I skip NCAA and pick up Madden?
– I checked out the Too Human demo. I didn’t hate it. I could see the click (point), kill, loot cycle be tempting. Diablo 2 it ain’t, but it doesn’t have to be. Supply me with enough loot and I’ll keep playing.
– I’ve already got Top Spin 3 (which I’m liking and will be writing about soon) so I won’t be picking up another tennis game this year.
– I love golf and I love Tiger Woods. I usually pick this one up every other year, but with other games this month, this will be a rental for me.
– Mercenaries 2 is one of the reasons I won’t be getting much else this month. I have been patiently waiting for this one for a long time. I hope the wait was worth it.
– Another JRPG for the 360. I should check one of these out one of these days.
– I tried Harvest Moon once and I definitely 
– The Wii was built for this game. I hope they nailed it.
– Mario themed sports games are usually “can’t miss”. If they expanded on Wii Sports Baseball, this will be another winner.
– I originally read this title as “Quick Yoda Training.” That sounded much more interesting.
– A game I’ve definitely been looking forward to.
– At my local second-hand video game store, there are a couple Super NES games called “
– If purchases were based on cover art, this one has me sold already.
– Great XBLA title, I’m definitely interested to see how this translates to the dual screens.
– Someone read my mind, I’ve always wanted to be a Cheetah Girl! How did they know?
– Who is Margot? And why does she have a striking resemblance to the 
– The Rise of Han Dracula!
– Titling something “Vol. 1” is pretty ambitious, isn’t it? Especially with “Polar Sports.” Not a whole lot of options to draw on there. You can only do so many variations of curling.
– Landslide winner of this month’s “Creepy Box Art” award.
