The games of 2008

games January 9th, 2009 January 9th, 2009 Leave a comment

For four years now, I’ve kept a diary detailing the games I play. Part of the reason was to see how many games I buy (and to reduce this number), and how many I complete (and to increase this number). 2008 saw a drop in completed games – 33 compared to 61 in 2007. I don’t think this is bad, when you look at the games I’ve been completing. In 2007, there were quite a few shorter games, including 5 …

skate. (360): COMPLETED!

Well, I didn’t think I’d ever get there, but today I managed it. Unlike many other games, I really feel my skill within the game had actually improved, and it feels like a much more realisitic skill progression than the Tony Hawk style of stats and levelling up. In skate., it’s me that improves, not my skater. That’s not to say everything is better than Tony Hawk, though. The Pro Skater games are more arcadey and less realistic, but big, …

Yes. It is far too hard. I spent ages trying to gap over the wavy platform thing and have decided it isn’t actually possible to ollie that far. I’m actually starting to get a bit irritated with the game as a whole, actually. There aren’t many tricks you can do, most can’t be done unless you’re travelling at an exact speed and you’re exactly lined up and you flick the stick exactly right, and vert tricks are virtually impossible. I …

Dewy’s Adventure (Wii)

dewy's adventure / wii February 4th, 2008 February 4th, 2008 Leave a comment

My Wii has had a quiet time of things recently (Eternal Sonata, Tony Hawk and Assassin’s Creed saw to that), but with both Geometry Wars and Dewy arriving today, it’s had a bit of a renaissance. First impressions are… confused. The opening sequence is exactly the same graphical style as Eledees, with the same boy in it, and the same voice actor. The game itself, however, is totally different. It lies somewhere between Mercury Meltdown and, erm, something else. You …

Started this for the sole purpose of trying out something other than Tony Hawk on my new speakers. It doesn’t (yet) have the immersion, soundwise, but then I have only played it for just over an hour. Well, I say I’ve played it for just over an hour. In reality, I’ve watched it a lot, pressed a button every now and again, and been shown how to press buttons. Oh, and I’ve been killed and somehow came back to life. …

Today, I went to Richer Sounds and spent far too much money on some audio kit. I got myself an Onkyo TX-SR605 AV receiver, a set of Tannoy FX5.1 speakers, and some more expensive than expected cables to connect everything up. I then spent SIX HOURS connecting everything up. SIX. ACTUAL. HOURS. And then, when I tried to put the receiver into my under-the-TV “entertainment centre” unit, it wouldn’t fit. So I had to undo all the cables and fit …

2007: A Year in Gaming – Part 2

May May was more varied than previous months this year.¬¨‚Ä† 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.¬¨‚Ä† It’s just too hard! June Oh …

The day of presents

Hurrah! Big Hairy Jesus Day is upon us, and gifts galore were unwrapped. So, in the style of first day of term playgroud boasting, what did you get? Personally, I snagged a pile of games I’ve been after for a while, including Psychonauts, Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground, and camp-tastic Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland. Amazing! Also: David Bowie albums FTW!

Too many games!

It’s that time of year again. Well, actually, it’s not, which is the problem. Traditionally, there’s slim pickings for new games around this time of year. The busiest times for releasing new titles (especially big titles) is normally around Christmas and often over Easter too, but the July-October period is like release death in the UK. Except this year. As well having Bioshock released this week already, there’s fahsands more out between now and the end of November. Before the …

I spend a whole hour trying to lay a particular line down. There’s a section where there are two rails, in series, with a short gap between them, and I was trying to ollie onto the first one, grind it, ollie off and manual to the next, then ollie on that and grind it. And, eventually, I did! Of course, in Tony Hawk that’s a real beginner trick, and is stupidly easy to pull off. In skate. however, it’s a …

I really, really want to hate this. I mean, Tony Hawk games are aces, and all other extreme sports games (Matt Hoffman, Kelly Slater, BMX XXX and even the actually pretty brilliant Aggressive Inline) pale in comparison. And now EA (who are like Satan in game publisher form) are trying to muscle in on Tony’s sacred domain. How very dare them. But… It’s good. There. I said it. Quietly, so Tony won’t hear. It took a while for the controls …
