Now that the new Xbox Vision Camera is out, it seems lots of people are using while playing Uno. I don’t have a camera, but thought I’d log on anyway and see what people are up to. And it seems that everyone is too busy making silly faces, playing with the zoom control, and generally messing around to actually play the game. I managed to play four games, winning one, and quitting out of the rest as the game just …
Played a few rounds with two British guys and a bloke who kept speaking like a little girl. I hope he was just stoned or something. Anyway, I lost. Completely. Bah.
More online play in this, and I now have all bar three of the achievements unlocked. Still remaining are the Bluff, Win 10 4-player games and Win 40 games ones, which I think will come eventually with time.
Since I’d splashed out on Frogger, and I’d bought 2000 Points with which to buy it, I had some left over and as a result Uno was purchased. I played just the one full game, online, against some random people. I won the first two hands, then narrowly missed the third, and then was way off on the fourth by which time someone else had won overall. Boo.
This appeared on the Xbox Live Arcade downloads today, so I downloaded it. Only had the one game, which consisted of four hands, and I lost. I’d won the first two hands, then Purple won the third, and then someone else won the final hand. Even though I’d won two and he’d won one, his points from that one hand (290) were way ahead of my total (161). And, since you needed 250 to win, I didn’t. Pah.
It was time to play this again. I mean, sure, it’s almost always time to play this, but it was especially time to play this just now. Choosing Madcap this time, for no real reason, I made it through to the final level where I was once more unopposed. So an instant win, again. Ah well. The real fun was the fun we had along the way, or something.
The second, and presumably final, expansion pack for Pokémon Sword/Shield, The Crown Tundra is set in a mostly snowy region and involves hunting for a lot of legendary pokémon in various ways. Peony, a character you meet at the start, gives you three main legends to look into. The first has you finding the local “new to the series” legendary – Calyrex, then finding his horse by growing a carrot. Yeah, one carrot. Calyrex doesn’t have enough power for more. …
I’m a sucker for gaming tat, so it was no surprise that as soon as the OneStation was shown to me, I bought one. And five game cartridges. After an agonising three week wait, it finally arrived from Hong Kong. Missing one cartridge. However, as will be revealed, that doesn’t actually matter. But wait! I’m getting ahead of myself! You all want to know… What the hell is a OneStation? Until it arrived, I wasn’t really sure. It appeared to …
(Guest post by Nintendo) In the beginning of the year, Nintendo promised new Pokemon games and several interesting developments for all fans of the 3DS Nintendo console.

New Pokemon Games: Two new Pokemon developments are expected in the autumn of 2012, Nintendo announced in an official press release. These will complement the upcoming …
Rant moan rant rant moan. That’s all I’ve seen written about the new 360 GUI. It’s rubbish. Everything is hidden. There’s too many adverts. Games aren’t the focus any more. It’s too confusing. Everything is seventeen menus deep and behind carousel images. Rant bloody rant moan moan. With good reason: Everything is hidden. There’s too many adverts. Games aren’t the focus any more. It’s too confusing. Everything is seventeen menus deep and behind carousel images. Of course, it looks nice. It really does – …
