Share your '08 resolutions with X3F


Well fanboys, it's a new year, and with a new year come new year's resolutions (and game of the year awards). As people begin a brand new year, they attempt to start with a clean slate, get a fresh start. Some people try to quit smoking or find a way to better themselves. Considering our readers are all gamers, we thought maybe some people out there might like to share their gaming resolutions. Don't scoff, as there are plenty of worthy resolutions to be made. For example, resolving to not spend as much money on games, or perhaps resolving to try a new genre. As for us, our new year's resolution is ... 1080p (ba dum bum, ch!). But seriously folks, it probably is time for us to stop buying retro Xbox Live Arcade games in the middle of the night. A note to the wise, they are never as good as you remember them.

So, how about you? Got any resolutions to share?

Make the most of living somewhere surrounded by snowy mountains, and get out on my snowboard as much as possible.

On a game related note though, I am resolved that I'm going to overtake a particular friend's gamerscore, and that I'm going to finish the drums on Rock Band on Expert if it kills me. Which it may just. If my downstairs neighbour doesn't first.
