Sniper Elite (360)
Aug 26th
I bought this, although it’s an original Xbox game, because it’s meant to be playable on the 360.
Except it crashes after the first briefing and won’t actually load the game.
Which is a bit rubbish, really.
Texas Hold ‘Em (360)
Aug 25th
Made a little bit of cash at a $200 bind table, then found my way to a $20 bind table and made a cool ten grand. Nice. The cards were very much with me this evening.
Just Cause Demo (360)
Aug 25th
Played my way through the demo again. Depite being glitchy and having some rather rubbish elements, it somehow manages to be excellent fun. Budget buy, I think.
Test Drive Unlimited Demo (360)
Aug 24th
New demo.
It’s rubbish.
I don’t even want to waste time writing about it.
Just Cause Demo (360)
Aug 24th
Better be bloody preview code. Glitching needing a reload (got trapped between two cars and couldn’t move), followed by the whole bloody game freezing up just as I was about to complete the demo. Guide still worked fine, so I could exit the demo, but the game was frozen. Grr.
Apart from that, thought it was pretty good, but I prefer Saints Row and Dead Rising over it.
Texas Hold ‘Em (360)
Aug 23rd
It’s a poker game.
It’s free. (At the moment.)
I’ve actually made money in single player and multiplayer this evening. Not a lot, but some.
Armadillo Run (PC)
Aug 23rd
Level 25 – Motor – is really hard, but I think I’m closing in on a solution. It’s a really excellent game. Well worth a tenner.
Dead Rising Demo (360)
Aug 22nd
Still having great fun with this. And still finding new things. I hope the full game is as fun.
