Dead Rising

Since Dell didn't see fit to send me the game I ordered from them along with the 360, I was forced out onto the streets to get another game.

I got Dead Rising. Dead Rising is awesome.

If there's a better game of killing zombies in nearly endless variations, I haven't heard of it.

The mysterious Dell

So, I got my 360, without a game to play. Apparently, it's harder to find a 6 ounce game than a ten pound console.

The 360 looks real nice, until you see the back, and what it hooks up to. It's like messing with a Soviet Submarine.

My God. Have you seen this website, "Levelmy360.com"?

You pay other people to increase your gamerscore for the 360. Your gamerscore DOES NOT DO ANYTHING! It's just a record of what game's you've played, and what achievements you've performed.

They will get you 5,000 points for 319.99$. This, despite the Gamespot guide: "How to get 6,000 gamerpoints easily". For 320$, you could buy the games they suggest, and the actual achievements are criminally easy. For example: You can earn 500 of the 1,000 points available in NHL 2K6 with a single shot. For football games, you can get more than half the points by telling the game to simulate playing a game.

At what point are we at, where we pay other people to trick our video games into believing that we've played them?
