Sempre assim, em cima, em cima, em cima, em cima…
Wii Samba de Amigo is here! Have can you not love it, with this advert? Shh!! Lets just pretend the “issues” with the controls don’t exist, yes? And this is clearly the best track:
PC Plus changes their target audience
I only subscribe to two magazines – EGM, and PC Plus. In fact, I’ve cancelled my renewal for PC Plus because I don’t actually have a PC any more, but I still have the end of the subscription to run. Imagine my surprise when I opened this month’s issue to find, along with the usual scammy scratchcards and flyers for home insurance, this:
Duke Nukem 3D (360)
Shake it, baby! No messing around here – straight in, bought it, played it for an hour. And only completed as far as the end of the bit with the submarine. 37 minutes for one mission? I’m so slow. But it is excellent. As it always has been.
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (360)
A bit of a catch-up post this. I’ve played it a lot in the last few days, but haven’t posted. I’m getting quite lax in posting these days, it seems. I’m thinking of packing in the gaming diary entirely and just posting updates on my blog. Maybe. Anyway. I’m now on level 62-ish. I’ve played online quite a bit, both in other people’s gardens, and also opening up my own. I did have one guy come in and ask “tchoutchou?”, …
That’s Asda Price! Again!
More AMAZING bargain spottage in Asda this evening.¬¨‚Ć First, this fantastic buy-two-for-a-pound offer: That’s right!¬¨‚Ć You can buy one, or buy two for exactly twice the price! Staggering value, I’m sure you’ll agree.¬¨‚Ć However, it’s not as special as this multibuy bargain:
The Giant Xbox 360 Demo Update (360)
I played quite a few Xbox 360 demos at the weekend. Some thoughts: Mercenaries 2I found this too hard. I admit I wasn’t trying very hard, but it did seem impossibly difficult. The explosions were nice though. Except when my jeep was what was exploding. Oh, and respawning enemies in this sort of game == badness. RocketBowlDire. No, it really is. Domino MasterMeh. Feeding Frenzy 2Rubbish. FractureSpace Marinezzzzzzzzz… Yeah, the raising and lowering land was great. But this isn’t Doshin …
Driving the Train
How excited was I, as a fan of train driving games, when I saw this title in Sainsburys this morning? About as excited as I was disappointed when I realised it wasn’t a train driving game at all. Bah.
Viva Pinata: Pictures of Less Evil
I was a bit more successful with these photos, taken this evening:
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (360)
Breeding twin wildcard frenzy! I decided to start breeding Syrupents, but to do that I needed Robeans. But, to breed them, I needed Bispottis. So, I got some Bispottis and set about romancing them. I managed to get a set of twin wildcards, which I named Chas and Not Original Dave. Then I master romanced the Robeans, using the Bispottis, and then fed the Robeans to my Syrupents, and romanced them too. I got a set of twin wildcard Syrupents …
Viva Pinata: Pictures of Evil
I’m a bit hooked on Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise at the moment. One of the new features of the game is the way you can take pictures and upload them to www.vivapinata.com. Unfortunately, all my photos just make my garden look dark, dreary, and in some cases, somewhat evil.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (PSP)
Is it me, or did this get “wicked hard” since I last played? I failed twice at the level where you rescue the machinist, and then failed (really, really failed) twice at the level afterwards. I didn’t stand a chance against an archer who could do 50+ damage each go, and a pair of summoners who could do 75+ damage to pretty much my entire party every round. I think I need to go and level up a bit…
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (360)
Only managed to gain one level today, although I did do quite a lot. I made a Syrupent resident, obtained some Mousemallows, master romanced Whirlms, and found a few variants and maximum-grew some more plants. I suspect they were all relatively low-level events so barely touched the “petals” required to gain levels. Oh, and I managed to get myself a set of twin wildcard Whirlms! I named them Richard and Judy.
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (360)
It was all about the Camellos and S’morepians today. I managed to make more of each resident, then Master Romanced both species. I made a fortune selling the Camellos once I’d done too. I’m now on Level 51, and have wiped my garden almost clean ready for the next species!
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise (360)
I not only managed to acquire a cutlass today (to keep out the Ruffians), but I also bought all the remaining Tower of Sour blocks, meaning that (along with my Cunning Wall of Blocking Ability that keeps Pester out) no nasties can enter my garden. Finally, the game can begin properly! So I bred Buzzlegums, so I could get the Master Romancer award for it, but also so I could entice S’morepians into the garden to eat them. I managed …
