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 …
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 …
Dear Rare: Please give me the nine hours and thirty-three minutes I spent on your awful game back. KTNX, love deKay xxx I have very little good to say about this game. But I’ll try. Well, the number of things going on at once is pretty good, but that only adds to the atmosphere, and doesn’t change the gameplay. Dull, linear, tedious, surprise-free, awkward gameplay. Lord Drok (is that his name? Big metal bloke with mallet) was easy, but took …
Never really enjoyed the other Tenchu games. Well, not the two I played on the PS1 anyway. I just don’t like hide-and-seek simulators, ninjas or no ninjas. Probably explains why I don’t like Splinter Cell either. Anyway. I realised you can skip almost the entire “level” in the demo simply by swimming around the harbour rather than sneaking through the town for leaping across rooftops. So I did that, steath-killed a few people guarding the boat you have to reach, …
Tedious. That’s what Kameo is. Tedious. I’ve found the old bloke who may be my uncle or grandfather or something now. I’m not really paying too much attention, to be honest, as I now just want the game over and done with.
Challenge Mode 2 WIN! Only with a crap score as I spent most of my time hiding rather than actually trying to eat pellets or ghosts. But I did it! Had a go at aiming for the Crown too, by playing Challenge 1, but only concentrating on one side of the maze. It didn’t work.
I don’t really like referring to this game as Shadowrun, because as far as I’m concerned, it isn’t. It’s a FPS with World of Shadowrun paint. Yeah, some clever ideas to lift it above a generic FPS (magic, teleporting, hovering, etc) but in the end, it’s still a FPS. And I don’t really like those. So in all, I found it meh.
It’s Evil Pikmin! Ace! Played through the demo twice (well, one and a half times – it crashed part way through the first time), killed sheep, destroyed a farm, smashed pumpkins, killed halflings, and beat up a giant troll thing. It’s great this!
I can’t believe how mediocre this game is. Yeah, Rare have pulled some real stinkers out of the hat before (Grabbed by the Ghoulies anyone?) but this was so hyped, and so long in the making (it was originally a N64 title!) that it’s amazing that it was released in this, clearly unfinished, state. Earlier today, I posted this at rllmuk: I’m five hours in, and have just done the catapult bit. Having no proper way of rolling the ammo …
Improved on my score for Extra 1 today, and also finished off Extra 2 and Extra 3. Tried to beat my Challenge 1 score (and failed), and my CE score (and failed), and beat Challenge 2 (and, uh, failed). Tch, eh?
