Xbox Games and the pox

Yea, got a few recently after Mass Effect. Picked up Bioshock, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and Ace Combat 6 to mention just a few
Loving Bioshock, story is pretty in-depth and a bit freaky. G doesn't like it so I only play it at night, Which adds to the atmosphere all the more. Can be hard to see items at times though on the floor. Especially if your like me and playing around 14ft away from your TV. Writing is almost completely unreadable.
But today, Ace Combat 6 was first inserted into the console. and man its fun, could do with a little tweak here or there. Especially UI wise. Same problem as with Bioshock I'm playing so far away that the tiny little boxes and target text just cannot be read. and its fast and hectic combat so no time to squint to see what it is. But it doesn't really take away from just how well the game looks and plays. If you have a 360 you should at least checkout the demo that's available on xbox live. Text in the story is a bit crazy at times though, you can tell its been translated from Japanese or something into English. The characters say some things which just seem "Off"
In other news though, G sprang out in spots on Saturday morning. and has since been scratching away at them with all the might his little hands can muster. Seems that last dose of "Chicken Pox" the doctor said he had was only a very minor incursion and this is the real deal. He's covered in them still and they've scabbed up but least no new ones are appearing, Which means he's past being infectious. Good thing for K as she hasn't had them before.
That’s a pretty cool looking screen shot there. The game definitely looks good.
Don’t have a 360 though :(
I guess I might have to install Bioshock myself after all. Kinda itching to play something different myself :)
And good to hear that the pox are progressing to the next stage. Hope it won’t be too much longer now.
