I simply took some time off from the site and the internet for a while. Work was very busy and I finally got some time off last month. Now that we have slowed down at my work... I have a little more free time to be online and around... so I might pop in and say hi from time to time.

As far as gaming goes... I have been doing alot of that... and still (probably will for the better part of this year) working on my backlog. It has shrunk considerably from where it was. It started around 82 games or so... and now is about 20 or so... which makes it alot more managable for me. Not alot coming out this year that I am very interested in. I will take heat for this one... but I am not even in the slightest interested in the new Bioshock coming out this year. I don't know why being I really loved the first one and the second one was awesome too. I simply am not interested... yet???

I just finished Forza 4 and loved it. A few new tracks and cars... better graphics and always fun for me to play. The only two games coming out this year so far that I am even remotely interested in are Tome Raider ( and from what I just read on my friend's blog about it being a multi - player.... that ruins it for me because I am not a fan of multiplayer at all !!! ) The other game is Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist. That is a game, even if there is multiplayer in it.. as long as the single player campaign is awesome... I will be very happy.

Well time for bed and back to work... but I will try to be on here a little more from now on... and read your blogs as well. God Bless and have a wonderful week ahead!!!

Nice to see you back! I'm looking forward to those two games, as well. I'm curious about Watch Dogs, too.

Good to see you back. I've still got many games to play. I'm interested in Blacklist now that I've played and liked Conviction.

@kingkilla3 Conviction was an awesome game...  and I think Blacklist will be even better.  I loved the sneak peek at E3 with the Kinect....  that is so cool!!! :)

Welcome back Sharon.  Glad you're doing well, and that is an enviable backlog.  Mine is so high I refuse to count.

wow, that is a huge drop, good work!!  I'm playing Bioshock 2 right now and am enjoying it.  I loved the first one and can't wait for the next one - it's pretty amazing!

 @pokecharm Thank You!  It has taken some time...  and restraint from wanting to purchase any new games.  I so am hoping to have it all caught up before the end of the year.  Bioshock 2 is an amazing game...  gotta love them big sisters!!!  :)

I'm really looking forward to the new Bioshock game, but as with everything else we can only tell how good it is once it's released.

 

I got Forza Horizon for Christmas and am hearing good things about it. Hopefully it follows the Forza tradition of awesomeness.

 @johnsteed7 I will wait until it comes out and see what all of the critics say about it.  I am sure it will be awesome...  but am curious about the storyline and how that is going to play out.  Let me know about Forza Horizon because I tried the demo the other day at my local Game Stop and the controls were pretty poor...  but it could have been the display controller.  I so recommend Forza 4...   especially if you have Kinect....  because of some of the cool features you can do with it.  :)

Real nice to hear from you after a while:D Glad to see you are fine and all. We really missed you around here. Your blog posts were always an interesting read and I looked forward to them all the time.

Good that you are still interesting in gaming.  Video games certainly add  more spice to our life and make it more exciting.

 

I am also interested in these 2 games you mentioned and yeah I am also not into multiplayer games as well.

 @khatibi22 So nice to see you again on here as well.  I really am hoping that the single player of Tomb Raider will be awesome...  and that the multi player aspect will not have achievements for it too! :)

 @indzman Actually I decided not to get another pet.  I might somewhere down the road...  but probably not.  I do have Halo 4 and it is an awesome game...  and one in my backlog too!  :)
