Ticket to Ride (360)
Four games against my wife today, with three wins for me. I also got the “underachiever” achievement, for playing 10 games without getting an achievement. What a strange achievement to get.

Three games tonight against my wife, and three wins. I finished two of the three games using all my trains too. Also managed my highest score so far – 176, which included 10 destinations!
Four more games against my wife on the Europe map today, and, in a reverse of last night, four wins for me. I haven’t needed to use any stations yet though.
The Europe map was available for download today, at a slightly expensive 600 points. But I bought it, and it is pretty aces. Played four games with my wife, and she won all four. Of course, we were both totally thrown by the added new rules – the ferries, the tunnels, and the stations. They all make it a bit more complicated!
Three games on this this evening, and I won all three. Managed to gain the achievement for getting over 150 points in a single game, too.
Just two games of this today, against my wife. She won both. I’m sure she cheated.
So James Luff wanted to challenge me to this, eh? I bet he wishes he hadn’t now, as I soundly thrashed him 2-1. Hurrah!
Played this again several times today, with my wife, and (because I am ace) won most of the games. Except she then won by such a margin on one game that she even got the “score 150 points” achievement – which I’ve not got myself yet!
One game against the computer, two against my wife. I won two of the games, and was convinced I was going to win against my wife a second time when I’d blocked pretty much every sensible route from Miami to New York, only to find that by me forcing her to take the longest route imaginable, she won. Bah!
I played the demo, and instantly warmed to it. In the same way Catan and Carcassonne have both been ace. So I had to buy it! And then promptly lost to the computer. It would appear the AI improves once you’ve bought the game. The demo is a lie!
For four years now, I’ve kept a diary detailing the games I play. Part of the reason was to see how many games I buy (and to reduce this number), and how many I complete (and to increase this number). 2008 saw a drop in completed games – 33 compared to 61 in 2007. I don’t think this is bad, when you look at the games I’ve been completing. In 2007, there were quite a few shorter games, including 5 …
Played a few things this weekend: Beautiful Katamari (360)Me am cry. If I play the final level on Eternal mode, and collect absolutely everything (including The King), I can only get my Katamari up to 1,450,000km. Meaning 1,500,000 is, in fact, impossible – black hole or no black hole. With this revelation, I set about redoing levels again, making more and more planets so that I’ll have some more to collect next time I try. Assuming the black hole doesn’t …
I haven’t posted in a few days, but I have been playing things. Just been a bit busy and tired and stuff. Anyway, here’s what I’ve been up to this week: Fable II Pub Games Demo (360)Marginally entertaining collection of gambling games. If I was interested in buying Fable II (I’m not), and it was 400 points, I’d buy it. So I’m not, then. Bionic Commando Rearmed Demo (360)Quite good fun, although I can’t get used to having no jump …
