Also, according to the records, Gizmo Monkey's favorite game last week was Tales of Vesperia. He played it on 7 of the days.

So that's it for now. It was a good week. On to the next one. | permalink

Last week saw an increase of 1790 points! My eye almost bleeds looking at a number that large! Getting 70 achievements can do that to you. I was there. I saw it!

There were only a few games I wanted to try this week Gizmo Monkey and I only tried one of them: Sherlock Holmes (TTSH). Oh, and from what I remember, Gizmo Monkey's favorite game last week was Sherlock Holmes (TTSH). He played it on 4 of the days.

Gizmo Monkey's Xbox - May 10 2013

There are people out there who think video games are violent. But after Gizmo Monkey played yesterday with his gamerscore of 352,630 points, there wasn't any violence at all.

He made some progress on MGS PEACE WALKER HD picking up 2 achievements, Silent Hill HD, Sherlock Holmes (TTSH) adding an amazing 13 achievements, Star Ocean: TLH, and after we were done, Gizmo Monkey hugged me with his eyes.

Watch closely because here comes the recap... if you aren't paying attention, you might miss it: So yeah... Last week Gizmo Monkey showed up 6 days total and logged some serious gaming. Our gamerscore jumped 340 points which was nice. Getting 20 achievements has that effect.
