You might think SuperChargers refers to that old Hot Wheels toy building that had rollers inside to propel the vehicles faster along that orange track. Or maybe you thought of Matchbox's super charger monster trucks series. Well this is Skylanders SuperChargers and they're all about the vehicles. I wonder that no one got sued over the name, now I think of it. 

Today I managed to avoid Forza Horizon 2 and dig into my list of freebees and back compat games. First up was the Fable II Pub Games (the whole Fable series just became availble of XBO) that I already owned. Then I played the whole of Gone Home (a games with gold freebee). Then I played a little bit of Halo: CE Anniversay (made back compat a week ago). Finally I saw the new Star Wars trailer during half time of the Monday Night Football game. 

I had to wait for a massive update on my PS4 that I haven't booted up in months, so I went back to Forza Horizon 2. Then, after I finally pulled myself away from it, I started Dragon Quest Heroes II and played it for several hours. 

Played a lot of Forza Horizon 2 today. I drove every road, found every barn, nearly completed the story of the game (I need 2 more championships), took pictures of 100 different cars, and switched from retro muscle cars to cult classics because I'd won all the retro muscle car races. There's still plenty left to do. Except for the final championships I need to win, I'm starting to look at the achievement list and work from that. 

I only have one figure/vehicle for this element, Smash Hit and his vehicle Thump Truck. They're great though - some of my favorites. 

These are my Air element Skylanders from the SuperChargers game. 

Appropriately enough for October, here are the Undead element Skylanders I have for Superchargers. 

Started the day by downloading the Games with Gold games. I got Gone Home: Console Edition, but I couldn't get Rayman 3 HD because it still said 9.99 when I looked up the price. It should say "free" on that screen. I tried it again at the end of the day, but it was still wrong. I'll see if that's been fixed later in the week. 

First thing I did today was trade in Hey! Pikmin and put the money towards Culdcept Revolt coming on the 3rd. Then I played Fallout Shelter while Forza Horizon 2 installed and then nothing but FH2 the rest of the day. 

1. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris: I finished the main story. I started looking for collectibles. The environments are really gorgeous in that top-down perspective that reminds me of Diablo a bit. The gameplay reminded me a bit of God of War even though it's mainly shooting and not hand-to-hand or chainblade-to-hand fighting. So I searched down some collectibles until I realized you had to get all the challenges in an area for an achievement, not just the collectibles. That requires a lot of replay doing things like only using a certain weapon, or beating a boss in a certain amount of time. I was tempted but didn't go for it. Maybe later.
