Hector. Giant great robots with gunz and laz0rz and stompy feet wot squash you. And they’re called Hectors. Jesus. Anyway. Killed a load of them, then a load more, and then it was into a nest of ants, rapidly followed by a retreat. Tch, EDF cowards!
Still plugging away at this. Decided to upgrade my Porsche 914 to the heady heights of Rank A, with a PI of 834 currently. I can’t see how to push it any further, unless a new engine (and then starting again with the upgrades associated with it) will help. Anyway, with that car I then took part in a couple of races, before deciding up up the opponent AI from Medium to Hard. Where “Hard” means “Cheating”, clearly. Suddenly, C …
Bought myself a heavy car, and finished off the Proving Grounds races. I’ve also upgraded some useless car I’m been given to make it S rank, given it a red and green paint job, and stuck it on the auctions to see if I can make a profit. I’m guessing not. Completed a few more races in the other serieseses too.
Went after the final achievement to finish off the game this evening. I needed to get 400,000 points, and had been informed that Extra 3 was the mode to choose to do that. And indeed it was, as I managed it on my first attempt, reaching 448,000 with some ease. So that’s all the modes survived, and all the achievements got. Winnar!
Plowed through more races today. I’m alarmed to see that not only have I not lost a race yet, but I haven’t actually finished in any position other than first. Even after crashing. Hmm. In an effort to improve the credits I get for each race, and to make it a little harder, I had a tweak with the difficulty settings, and now I don’t get any penalty for easiness. Not that it’s made much difference. In fact, since changing …

What a no-game this is. As in, there’s no game. I did expect this though, having the first game already, but this is just more of the same with added jetskis. I’m on Day 6, and so far, I’ve done: nothing. Well, I’ve played volleyball a few times, and got annoyed at the controls, lack of control, and the camera. I’ve played the arse fighting game, which is rubbish. I’ve played the pool hop game, which is impossible as I …
Despite only being dispatched at 3.30pm today, this had arrived in this morning’s post. Amazing. Now, I didn’t think a lot of the demo, but since Gamestation had the full game on offer for £15 (if you bought any other 360 game), it seemed silly not to get this and Dead or Alive Extreme 2 together for £30. £10 cheaper than getting Forza 2 on it’s own. And I’m glad I did, because it’s great. I’ve played through about half …
I stumbled across this just now and found there was a Mac version. Downloaded it then, and played it for about half an hour. Um, am I missing the point, or can you do nothing but chat and walk round a tiny island? And why is everyone naked?
Since it was my birthday a month ago, I got this from my brother today. Bless. And… it’s good. Virtually every level is “kill giant ants!”, and the graphics, animation, voice acting, sound effects, music and slowdown are all horrific. But it doesn’t seem to matter. As well as kill lots of giant ants, I’ve killed some Hunter Killers, seemingly stolen from Terminator, some ant-carrying UFOs, and more ants. I’m only on level 9 or so, but have spent almost …
Crown Get! Someone on rllmuk tipped me off that Extra Mode 2 was the best one to try for the Crown, and lo, he was right. On my first go I got loads of them! Managed a score of 381,000-ish too, so I was prompted to keep trying for a 400,000 score, but every further attempt just got me less and less. With my final go I just scraped 92,000. Weak.
This was new up on XBLA today, so I had a go of the demo. It’s good. In that it’s faithful to the original (with new graphics and slightly easier gameplay), but I never really liked the original all that much as it was too hard. As a result, I’m a bit confused as to whether I should buy it or not. If it was 400 points, then yes – I’d give it a go, but at 800 and 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 …
I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the hardest game ever made. I played a few games online, and lost every since one by at least three goals. Not only that, but I’m incapable of finishing the second (novice!) challenge in Challenge Mode. Rubbish.
