I won my very first challenge with the XBox 360. I busted my ass to do it, too. Jake was wonderful in letting me completely take over the console to do it. I really didn't think I had a chance, either. There were a few games that made me absolutely crazy. Kameo's Deep Blue element is like the seventh ring of hell. The mechanics are horrible with it and Jake and I were both wanting to through the controller out of the window. At least it wasn't just me. Apparently that section makes everyone angry. Really REALLY angry. Then there's King Kong. I have mixed feelings about that one. It is a First Person Shooter, which is something I hadn't really tried. I did an okayish job on it, but I'm still not sold on that type of game. The surprise hit for me was Kung Fu Panda. If you haven't gotten it you're missing out on a really fun game. I got the game as a package deal with the console and never tried it out. After playing a few games and getting frustrated I popped it in. I'm hooked!

I think winning this challenge was a HUGE boost to my confidence. I have been feeling as though I'm never going to get any better. Then Jake and I played our first game together last night (Peggle rocks my socks) which meant so much to me. I've been wanting to play a game with him for so long. We had an absolute blast. I'd say that even if I didn't win. Which I did. *grin*
