You know by now that I like playing me some 360 games.  I play almost every day (vacations I leave the playing behind).  Recently my brother talked me into playing some horde mode in Gears of War 2 and I have to say that it's a lot of fun and so far every game we've played has been enjoyable.  There are a lot a good players out there that have revived my sorry playing more than once. 

 

I've also started on Guitar Hero 5.  Interesting changes they've made in the game, but the track choices leave me and the wife feeling a little let down.  Sure, there are some great songs in there, but a lot of them are just not songs that really grab you.

 

Now there are GAMES.  And when I say GAMES, I mean that football has started up this week and today... well, I only played just enough 360 to keep my streak alive so I could watch a couple of games.  The only one I was interested in though came late....  Green Bay hosting Chicago.  Kinda weird that I don't like playing sports games, but I so enjoy watching a good matchup.

 

Yeah, I'm a Packer fan and I really have high hopes that Aaron Rodgers can put together some great games.  But don't expect me to talk trash.  I have a lot of respect for every team in the NFC North division.  I guess it's because I know some fans of the teams and they're all great people.  Sure, we poke fun at each other, but in the long run... if you know a fan that's been following a team win or lose for a lifetime, then how can you possibly talk down the team?  They know the players, know stories, watch their games and to tell them that YOUR team is going to treat them like garbage?  That's not a fan at all - that's nothing more than a bully.  It's a first game, some teams won, some teams lost.  The shining part is that it's only one game. . .  May every division be a knock down drag 'em down fight... 

 

For those that follow the game and your players went down to injury, I wish them a speedy recovery.  For those of you whose team lost, may they get back in it next week.  Me... I'm breathing a sigh after a rough game where either team could have won it.  Next week, It's Cincinnati coming to town.  I'll make no predictions, I'll keep a healthy optimism, but if I could wish anything... I'd wish for another close hard fought game that comes down to the last minutes/seconds to determine who walks away with a W.
