Me either really. Assault Heroes 2 is good but it's nothing new over 1.

Castle Crashers is the only original game I'm really looking forward to atm. Duke Nukem and Soul Calibur will be cool but they're technically retro games (doubt SC will be 400 points though!).

I'd be tempted by Soul Calibur, think it'll come down to the cost though.

I'll pay 1200 points for it, any more and I'll pass. Hope it'll be 800 though.

800 is my max I think, 1200 is just a bit too pricey for me. I've only ever paid that once, for the Oblivion expansion pack, and in hindsight, it was still too pricey for me.

If I pay 1200 for an arcade game, i'm sure as hell going to make sure I complete it, even if it takes forever. I was tempted by Ikaruga, but then I remembered it's bloody hard.

These two comments got me thinking, who has played the most games out of the 3 of us, and who really is the biggest whore out of the 3 of us. Being bored in work, I decided to look into it properly.

I used 360 Voice and copied all of our played games into a spreadsheet, then deleted all of the games with zero points (probably arcade demos and crap games). Here are the stats I got from it....

Games played and scored points in:

Me: 93
Jen: 130
Chris: 106

Number of games all 3 of us have played and scored points in: 39

Score from those shared games:

Me: 21,745
Jen: 18,940
Chris: 24,960

There's plenty more stats I could come up with, but it's pretty obvious that Chris is the real point whore here

I like stats like that Always interesting.
I think I play different types of games to you two though, that's my excuse I've noticed, Davey, that you seem to be more the completionist of the three of us, not sure if the stats prove it, but I think you are. You always seem more likely to get 1k on harder games at least.

Oh and I will beat Chris, just give it time

Don't think I am the completionist of the 3 of us, as Chris is the only one who's got a 50%+ average on the games he's played in terms of achievement points. I'm hovering around 48% I think. I get what you mean though, I do love the challenge of the harder games when the achievements are fun (like Dead Rising) and I always try to get as many as possible there.

I will get 100% on Ninja Gaiden 2 though, no matter how long it takes me

I do like to complete the games I get, but some of the games I have low points on (Ratatoullie, Spiderwick, DDR, Viking etc) they're easy point games, I jut couldn't be arsed to play them anymore as they get boring. Well DDR/viking didn't, I just got distracted.

Still bored, so taken this further again....

Games that Jen and I have played but Chris hasn't: 22

Score in those games:

Me: 9,790
Jen: 6,515

Total number of games Jen and I have played: 61

Total score in those games:

Me: 31,535
Jen: 25,455

A difference but not really a huge one, I guess it would just depend on what games I've got the extra points from
