PixlBit

I came across this looking through new releases on Xbox a month or so ago. I didn't know about this pinball maker, Zaccaria, at all. Well, it was a free download and comes with a free pinball game. So why not?

I played this the other day and finished it. Of course, it's not really finished because there are more achievements. I haven't decided if I'm going back in again, though. I've left it installed in case I feel like it. 

I've been playing this game in the margins as well as Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure, also from Game Pass. I found it really interesting. I like playing these "walking simulators" in between big games. 

I'm quite behind in blogging the games I've been playing. Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure is one I started months ago. I've been playing it in between bigger titles. It's also on my list of short games to play. I enjoy the casual game now and then and this is a pretty good one, especially if your a fan of Pixar movies.

I tried to get farther in Rage 1 again. I got a little farther but not very much. I really like graphics and post apocalyptic setting, but I ultimately don't like the controls. 

A few weeks ago, while I was randomly looking for things in my library's catalog during work - something I do frequently when things aren't hectic - I came across Skylanders comics collections. I didn't even know there were comics for this game series. Well, I had to start reading them, didn't I, and I have at about 1 per week since then. 

With my new system that simplifies how I decide what weapons to equip, I had some brain space available to figure out strategies that combine the effects of all the different item types my character has in Borderlands. 

I always pick Roland, the soldier, in Borderlands 1, but today (because of achievements) I tried the other three characters to try out their specials. I liked Mordecai and his pet Bloodwing the best.

Well, I downloaded Rage from GamePass via the GamePass app on my phone a few days ago and it was ready today on my console (ah, future tech), but I played Borderlands 1 with MadKrammer instead. It's knd of hard for me to resist co-op when it's available. 

I get excited to get a bunch of new books and see what's coming in the theaters and in gaming for the coming month. I make a list and try and do it all. Here's what I'm focusing on for May.
