Taboo The Sixth Sense

If I got this game as a kid, I would have been ticked off. It is not a game, it's a Tarot card simulation that eventually predicts your lottery numbers. I guess you take the good with the bad and this is bad.

Fable

When we got our Xbox, this was one of the most memorable games we played. My kids loved this game. The idea of being able to change the game based on choosing a good or evil path was new and cutting edge. I definitely remember Halo being a huge hit but Fable was not far behind.
I recently played the limited edition which included a Bonus DVD. It's fascinating to see how much of the core objectives have been carried through the next couple of Fable games. I love this game. To this day I still pop in Fable 2 and 3. I love this franchise and hope there are more Fable games to come. Every game has improved on the previous game.

Holiday Golf

My kids played a lot more Xbox games than I did. I missed most of the Xbox games and it is going to be fun to go back and play them. I'm looking forward to going back and playing some of the games I've missed.
I like golf games and this one is easy to learn. This seems to be a demo disc for the full version of Outlaw Golf. The gameplaty is not too bad and the "attitude" of the characters is very entertaining.
This game does not hold up to the newer games we see, but for a game published back in 2002, it's not to bad.

Adventures of Dino Riki

Even at my best, this game is not one that I'd do well with. It took me a few deaths to get a feel for the power ups and scoring and it is fun and addicting. I really struggled to make it through the first world.
Above is a YouTube video put up by djrellik. Even if you can't get through the game, there is always someone out there who has.

Here's some info about the game if you're interested:

Two Games A Week

I've set this site up as a personal way to keep track of the games I've played this year. I love video games and there are hundreds of games in my collection that I have never played. This year I'm going to play at least two new games a week (or more if I can).
These games can be for any platform, old or new. They can also be for PC, Smart Phone, IPad, console or any crazy new device that comes out. The only games I won't count are games that I play for gamerscore on XBOX Live.
My other game related goal this year is to hit a gamerscore of 100,000. I'll end up playing 100 games (retail, Arcade, and Phone) or more to get there. That site is located over at Gamerscore Update.
I think I'm going to kick the year off with couple of NES games. I can't wait to get started. It should be a fun year of video gaming!
