Achievement Unlocked

So, I've been going through a gaming withdrawal. Over the summer, I played my Wii all day, errday. Since then I've only had my iTouch to satisfy my needs.

I bought "Archetype" for $0.99. The game is like "Halo" multi-player mode for the iTouch. You play on a team and start with a standard gun in an area filled with weapons. The object is to get the most kills or at least more than the other team.

I really like "Archetype" because it's so similar to "Halo", but the free alternative "EliminatePro" is quickly becoming my favorite FPS on the iTouch. "EliminatePro" allows players to upgrade and buy their equipment (armor, weapons, items). This is great because more experienced players have more of an advantage over newer players because they have better stuff. It's also easier to achieve that "epic win" feeling when you can have tangible achievements throughout the playtime.

Both games are fun, user-friendly, and have intuitive controls and beautiful graphics. If you prefer a more level playing field, go with "Archetype", but if you like to school n00bs because they are so damn annoying, I'd forego paying for an app and stick with "EliminatePro."

Seriously though, I'm just biding my time until we get my suite mate's old XBox 360 (from last year) so I can play "Halo Reach".

It's going to be EPIC!
