Yes, yes yes. I’ve started yet another game even though I still haven’t completed Contact and Excite Truck and ten billion other games. Hotel Dusk is AMAZING. It’s a book that you play. A detective mystery book with plot twists and strange characters and more coincidences than is physically possible to cram into one small place. Everyone staying in the hotel seems to be linked to each other in several different ways. It’s very odd indeed, but also totally compelling. …
After many more tries at Level 13 (which Beck assures me is the hardest of them all), I finally managed it. I didn’t realise previously, but different teams have different personalities, and the Blue Team were way more deadly than the Green Team. Killing the Blues off first, then, was the way to go. After 13 was complete, reaching 17 was pretty simple. I only have one Achievement left to go now too – to complete Challenge Mode.
I’ve now done all the secret levels (I think!) and have all the treasure on 4 of the 8 worlds. I’ve completed one of the jigsaws, and something odd happened when I completed the Ghost Medal in the collection – loads of ghost came out and one went into each world. What do I do now? Find them? Kill them? Collect them? Do nothing? QUESTIONS!
My sister-in-law (who doesn’t play games) and her boyfriend came up this evening, and for some of the time we played on Wii Sports. After a few goes on Bowling, Tennis and Baseball (Golf is too difficult and Boxing too strenuous) it seems that she has now decided she wants to get a Wii. Amazing scenes.
Didn’t play this for very long today, just to get some more treasure chests and to try and find the three secret levels I’m missing. Managed to find one secret level, and a few chests, taking my total to about 86/120.
Played through more of Challenge Mode today, reaching Level 13, which is completely and utterly impossible. I also played a few more games with my wife, and then a few games online with random people. The online games weren’t particularly successful, as people kept quitting. In fact, in one game that I was hosting, some other guy left and I got a message telling me the game had ended because the host had quit. But I was the host. And …
Firstly, I played some more of Challenge Mode, and won two games with ease. Then, I played online. My first game against two other people didn’t last long, as one surrendered on his first go, and the other then quit. My second game, however, was much better. It was against three other people, and I won. Aces. Only just though, and mainly only because it went to sudden death just before my turn. I got a few achievements too, including …
I think, but I’m not sure, that the “xx/120” counter is in fact number of chests found, not number of levels completed. You see, I went back and unlocked another secret level, and completed that, and the counter went up from 76 to 81. I still have a ? for part of the collection screen too. I assume I get something there for getting all of the treasure chests or something. Or maybe it’s to do with that yellow Kirby …
What? Already? Yes indeed. I thought there was at least another world after 8, but no. And World 8 was somewhat shorter than previous ones too. The final boss battle was quite hard, until – yes – I got a Tornado power-up, and then after that there was another boss. I sort of expected it, as it seems to be the norm with Kirby games. You even get a weapon not unlike the Star Rod from Kirby’s Adventure. I seem …
So I bought it. I had to really, because it’s Worms. Yeah, so it’s a cut-down version of Worms, but it is still pretty ace and multiplayer is fantastic as always. But there’s no baseball bat. Pff. I played a few rounds with my wife, and won them all (only just on one though). It’s a shame there aren’t many sound schemes, and only (seemingly) three level graphic themes though. After two-player, I tried to join some online games but …
I have no idea. But for some reason I thought I’d type his name into Google, and this is what I found: It seems he’s now a vital part of a Photoshop tutorial. Yay for Gary! Gary Wilmott tutorial
I’m well en-route to finishing this quite soon now. I ripped through levels 4 to 7 in double-quick time, although I did miss out on finding one secret level (and I haven’t got all the chests in every level yet either). I’ve died maybe 5 times now, mostly on bosses. The trick (as always with Kirby) for bosses is having the right power-up when you get to them. So I’m on Level 8 now, which I thought was going to …
I turned my Xbox 360 on today for the first time in over a month (I think – perhaps longer), and set about downloading demos of all the Xbox Live Arcade additions since I last looked. I then played them: Alien Hominid HD:Pretty, Metal Slug-type game with a stupidly hard difficulty setting. It isn’t the mid and end of level bosses that caused me any grief, really – unlike everyone else – since they have simple patterns you can avoid. …
Only a short session on this today, but I did play for long enough to complete all of the rest of World 3 (including a secret level). I died for the first time too – on the end of world boss. En-route to him, you get two power-ups: fire and tornado. Based on my death, I would suggest you use the latter rather than the former. Cleared two levels of Jam Jungle then too, which is World 4. Looks like …
