I made three posts in January of 2013 outlining some targets I had for the coming year, and all of them started well, but fizzled out towards the end. I reckon that if I acknowledge my mistakes, I can learn from them. I’m tackling the videogame targets in this post – You can find the original one here, if you’re interested.

As you can see if you follow that link – I failed my attempt at reaching 100,000 Gamerscore in 2013. I’m not really bothered by this, as I (finally) learned that my time is worth more than some arbitrary number, and I had fun playing some great games in 2013, and that’s what counts. Still, I have made a new target, which roughly works out at 50% of the Achievement score of all the games in my pile of shame, I think. I reckon 50% is about right for any story or Campaign related Achievements in all the games on the list.
I’ve just finished Dead Space.
Man, what a game.
It kinda reminded me of Resident Evil 4, but set in the future.
In space.
With aliens instead of zombies…
I loved that Isaac used tools to kill the bad guys rather than weapons to start off with. I loved the atmosphere (or should that be atmos-fear lol get it?). I loved the hub nature of each level. You basically started in a room, then had to go off and complete objectives which opened up new routes from the hub room. It worked really well. I loved every second, even when I fell through the floor of a lift for no reason and was stuck out of the game world. The enemies were a varied bunch, all interesting to fight against in their own way, and then a challenge when several different types turned up at once.
Oh, and I noticed this about half way through: The first letters of the names of the chapters spell out a nice little hidden message. Caution, this is spoilers!
