I won’t go into too much detail of the remainder of the game in case I spoil it for anyone reading, but most of the last hour or so involved beating up, then working with, the townies. I also had to vandalise the house of a teacher, and then there was a huge school-wide punchup, which almost became a SuckySuck(TM) bit as I had to take down all the clique leaders again. Finally, there was the inevitable showdown with Gary, …
With the nerds totally won over (again), we set about taking out the jocks. This mainly involved humiliating them to varying degrees (taking pictures of a cheerleader in the shower, gluing the american footballers to a bench, etc.) and eventually I had to take out the entire team on the field. Which was alarmingly easy. And then Chapter 5! And it’s all gone wrong. All the gangs hate me (again), and I had to do something to help each one. …
Well, that’s all the Greasers dealt with. This chapter seemed somewhat short, but perhaps it’s just I found it easier and didn’t have to redo any bits. Now I’m onto Chapter 4 – and time to take down the final clique (which is constantly pronounced as “click” by the characters in the game, much to my irritation – it should be “cleek”), which is the Jocks. Why, then, do I appear to be at war with the nerds again? Tch. …
I seem to have had a huge break from this, as I was a bit lost when I started playing – mainly with the awful controls. However, I soon picked up the plot from where I’d left off. It’s Christmas, and I got a tasteful knitted festive jumper from my mum. I then had a few fights with Greasers, and the rich kids (caused by breaking into their “house” and killing a giant venus fly trap), and have become part …
Completed Chapter Two today. This involved lots of punching posh kids, egging their house (with the help of Russell), bike racing, and taking some posh girl out on a date and winning her a teddy at the fair. The “boss” was another posh kid who kept hiding behind a bar whilst sending minions out to smack me about, but they were weak and easily brushed aside. Gary had been winding them all up with lies about things I’d said about …
Didn’t progress the story all that much today, mainly just causing havok (well, as much havok as a catapult and some itching powder can, anyway) and attending classes. I’ve completed Art and Chemistry completely now, and managed Shop 2 as well. Still having real issues with the PS2 pad, but then, there’s nothing new about that.
Russell DEFEATED! I think “blockhead” is the correct term for him. He’s a bit stupid, anyway. So I beat him up when Gary went a bit nasty and basically declared war on me (and the school). I’m starting to think Gary might actually be the headteacher’s son or something. There’s bound to be a twist like that somewhere. After that, I ran some errands for the cook (opening up the town outside the school), entered a boxing competition and won …
Yes. It really has been over a month since I last played this. But, well, Forza 2 happened, and Carcassonne happened, and Retro Week happened and so on… But anyway. So I’ve progressed in Art, Chemistry, English and Gym quite a bit. I’ve got a skateboard, helped a freaky hobo, taken part in some Halloween pranks, beaten lots of people up, raided a locker in the girl’s changing rooms, protected some nerds, and assorted other things. Still not happy with …
Tim has been playing this recently, and it reminded me that I’d bought it a while ago but not actually started playing it yet. So I started playing it. Yet. Or at least, I tried, but it was a good half an hour between turning the PS2 on (having removed the inch of dust covering it) and actually doing some proper “game” as the intro and chat takes ages. Anyway. I’ve started school. My first two lessons were Chemistry and …

May May was more varied than previous months this year.¬¨‚Ć There was Eledees and Wing Island on the Wii, Crackdown, Lego Star Wars II and Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland on the 360, and the amazing Ouendan 2 on the DS, as well a plethora of 360 demos, XBLA games, and Wii VC titles. I struggled with the original NES Castlevania (on the VC) for a while too, and never did manage to complete it.¬¨‚Ć It’s just too hard! June Oh …
Or rather, Vice City Stories of Blur and Brown. The game looks horrific. I mean, Canis Canem Edit didn’t look great, but this? Awful. It’s like someone took the original Vice City and smeared it with dirty hands. I suppose that’s what you get for porting a PSP game back to the PS2. Anyway. So I’m Vic Vance, Lance Vance’s (from the original) brother, and this seems to be set a while before the original. I’m a corporal in the …
If you know me, or if you read this blog, or monitor my Usenet and forum posts, then you’ll know I buy a lot of games. Like, loads. I play a lot too: most days I put in an hour or so, longer at the weekend. This may appear to be a very long time to non-gamers, but you have to consider how much time I don’t spend watching TV, which is far more passive and couch potatoey. One look …
