I am surprisingly still playing Dark Void, a ten-year-old Xbox 360 game. I warmed up with some Gnome's Garden. 

I had to work today but at the right time, so I was able to visit my friend's place and my Xbox in the late afternoon. I knocked off a Xbox rewards quest and a Game Pass rewards quest before diving back into my attempted completionist run of Dark Void. 

Xbox weekly rewards, Game Pass rewards, Games with Gold games, they make up my routine right now. I managed to finish all the weekly rewards and most of the Game Pass ones. I already have over 10k points but it's fun to keep going with it. I'm getting points on my phone now during the week as well, so they add up quickly. Here are the details. 

I couldn't resist a quick chat on my comics reading and console-setup. Here goes. 

I am totally stuck on this game even forgoing my usual rewards points quests to play it. Serious progress was made as detailed below but only a little bit because I'm listening to/vinyl ripping Uriah Heep and can't be bothered. 

Take your pick from the 9 games below. 

I loved the original Spy Hunter cabinet back in the 80s. I played a 3D rendition of the game that came out in 2001 for Xbox and PS2. 

This was the demo disc for the March 2002 issue of The Official Xbox Magazine. It has demos, trailers, a behind-the-scenes video, tv ads, and gameplay highlights. I find it a cool trip down memory lane to watch these things again. Here are some more details.. 

I really liked this game. Race in two-person chariots and fight them all. It's like Burnout but with Roman chariots. 

I definitely liked this offroad racing/adventure game but it's hard to stick to something that looks so bland compared to today's racers like Forza. Plus I had a few tiny issues with the map screen and the driver views.
