Monday news and notes
- Best Buy (and a few other places that I can’t recall) is running a promotion where if you buy NBA2K8, you get NHL2k8 for free. I know some people here on the forums have liked NHL2K8 quite a bit and NBA2K8 has been well liked as well. Might be worth a look.
- I got a chance to start working on College Hoops 2K8 last night and while I’m still not thrilled about the menu interface, I am enjoying the game thus far. I’m working my way through the All-American challenges right now and some are just that, challenging. I’ve run into an issue with the post up moves though. I’ve found that if my player is facing the basket, that it’s difficult for him to try and back someone down using the post up button on the Sixaxis (L2.) Anyone else with the game having this issue? Might just be me. I’ll try to get a bit more time in tonight.
I do have to say that I like the 2K Share feature though. Within 2 minutes of starting up the game I had a brand new roster that had the correct name for every college player. Nice!
- Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe on the Xbox Live Marketplace Wednesday… really? Aren’t we running out of ‘classic’ games on Live?
- I’m looking to finally play some of the World Tour mode in Rock Band tonight. With some luck, my wife will provide the vocals and I can play the drums and we can give that mode a go.
- Speaking of Rock Band, I’m working on getting 5 stars on every song, for the drums, on Medium. After I got through the first 10, I realized that I wouldn’t even get an achievement for getting 5 stars on every song… and it actually felt good to be playing something because I liked it… not because I was going to get an achievement for it.
- Pick up MLB Power Pros, at Best Buy, yet? It’s out of stock online, but it’s available in most stores. I’ll quit asking soon…
