Erm, well. More of the same, really! Rolled up more planets, improving my scores on some (but not many) of them. And that’s about all. Not that I’m saying I didn’t play it much – I did – it’s just there’s not much else to report.
I’m not happy. You know I rang Microsoft to ask if I bought an Elite 360, and transferred all my stuff over from my Premium, whether they’d be able to fix the DRM to allow me to play XBLA games even when offline? And they said yes, it was possible? Well, having transferred the data over today, I rang them. And they can’t do it. So I now have ¬¨¬£400-worth of content I can’t play, on a ¬¨¬£260 console I …
I’m sure I’ve mentioned it before, but the best game in the world, ever, is Run Baby Run for the Spectrum. For no other reason than to celebrate today’s release of a new version of Fuse for OS X, here it is. Isn’t it lovely?¬¨‚Ć Of course it is.
Didn’t do anything new on this today, instead just playing and replaying levels. It’s a shame all the levels are basically the same game “world”, unlike those on We Love Katamari where there were things like the flower collecting and the gingerbread house. It’s still great though.
On Thursday, as Microsoft had given me confirmation that they could sort the DRM issues out, I went and bought a 360 Elite from Zavvi. It was supposed to be 270 quid with three games, but somehow I managed to get it for 260. Anyway, someone on rllmuk sent me the hard drive transfer cable which arrived a few minutes ago, and now I’m transferring everything from one drive to the other. It’s going to take over an hour! Good …
I bought this simply because of the novelty factor of playing Commodore 64 games on the Wii. It’s… OK. But hard. Only managed to reach Level 2!
Yeah, I know I completed it yesterday already, but there’s still loads to do. I have all the presents and cousins to find, and higher scores, faster times and online play to do as well. Much of today was spent trying to get my first 100 point score. I finally managed it (on Delightful Dirigible) after 20 or so attempts. And even then, only just. And it seems there’s a 120 point score to go for now? WHAT I also …
I had a little splurge this morning, and somehow ended up buying a new Xbox 360 Elite for £260, with three free games. I didn’t have a say in the games (Halo 3, Lost Odyssey, Assassin’s Creed) which was a pain as I didn’t want Halo 3 and I already have Assassin’s Creed. And Lost Odyssey was out of stock so I had to choose something else. So I chose Beautiful Katamari! And I’m glad I did, as it’s amazing! …
I’ve decided that my solution to the issues I’ve been having with my 360 are to be resolved thusly: Buy a new 360 Elite Transfer data from my current Premium to the Elite Get Microsoft to do the seemingly impossible and “flick the switch” to make my downloaded content and XBLA games playable on my Elite playable when I’m not online The sticking point is with 3. Almost everyone who has transferred their stuff from one machine to another (whether …
I was in Asda yesterday, and was horrified to see the sort of things they’re selling now. I’m all for “world foods” and new flavours and stuff, but this is… a little too far.
I have no idea why I decided to play this today. But I did. And yes, it’s still crap, but something made me want to see the end. And I saw the end, as I completed it. What a waste of time. Lets never play this again, OK?
I gave up on playing computer games a long time ago. Games, yes – I play them (I expect you’ve noticed), but computer games? Don’t touch them. With my recent Mac conversion, the chances of playing computer games is now even lower. Except for just one thing. I was looking for some game demos to test the 3D graphics capability of my new iMac. Someone suggested Civilization IV, which actually turned out to be quite old and not really as …
