I'm breaking out the Switch tomorrow. I've also made a new list, so I may stop playing a lot of these games I've been playing. I want to focus on the most current games I'm interested in. But, this is what I played this week so far.

Lego Lord of The Rings (Xbox360): I finished the story and played a bit of the bonus level. Enjoyable. I might go back in to do the collectathon, but I have a new game plan, and it might not include old Lego games. 

Minecraft (Xbox Series S) I used the Coastal Town seed and got myself to the point where I was fully armored up. Stage 1 complete. Stage 2 next time, goal to enter The Nether. 

Super Mega Baseball 3: I love this series but in this one, for the life of me, I cannot hit a darn thing. I just can't get the timing right. I must've grounded into a double play almost every inning. I pitched well though and got an achievement for striking out 15 batters in a game. But without some hitting, I'm just not having fun. Maybe I'll figure it out. 

Pac-Man Museum +: Played through the 14 games and made a little progress. The lag on most of the games is still really frustrating and is keeping me from better scores and unlocking new items for the arcade. I got a Galaga figure from the gashapon machine that I liked. I don't really have a good plan for the arcade yet, but I moved the cabinets around so they were in rows like in the arcades I grew up in. 

Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes: Beat a boss, played a puzzle side mission. I tried multiplayer but it seems no one is playing it anymore. I can get my friend Mark to play with me but I need a 2v2 match for the achievement. That won't happen, I guess. The other two are still possible though, one for playing as one of the villains (not sure how you do that yet but maybe once you've beaten the game?) and another for overkilling a foe by 100 points. I've gotten to 28 so far. Once I have higher level characters, I should be able to do it. 

Gems of War: Nearing level 200. I'm going after several achievements, but I got one I didn't know about by bestowing medals to my mythic level character. I also cleared all the campaign tasks for the week already. I'm not rerolling them right now. Instead, I'm letting them make me change up my team like having me use a new weapon, banner or class. I go with it in order to explore other strategies. However, once the task is done, I revert back to my old team. It's a good sign in a game that my friend Mark is playing with a totally different team using a different strategy than me and succeeding (he's over level 300). There's just a myriad number of ways you can approach team building in this game. 

Pinball Arcade - Central Park: I played this table again and got frustrated with it. It has very small bumpers, and I'm told in the guide that key to this table is using tilt. So I bump the table frequently, but it's difficult to do it just right to manipulate the ball. I think I'll move on from this and tackle the 1970s pinball games next month. I will say this, the table graphics and physics are incredible. This app really gives you a good sense of playing the real machine. 

My 2022 lilst of must-plays in reverse chrono order:

Pac-Man Museum +
Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Kirby Forgotten Land
Shadow Warrior 3
Horizon Forbidden West
RPG Golf Legends

I can rent Kirby and Pac-Man Museum is on Game Pass but I don't have any of the others yet, so I made a list from last year's best reviewed games:

Psychonauts 2
Forza Horizon 5
Halo Infinite
Marvel's Guardian's of the Galaxy

All these are on Game Pass, so I'll have those to play until I get the others.
