Assassin’s Creed (360)
In ugvm, Zomoniac wrote, “Simultaneously the best and worst game I’ve played in a long time.”
After an hour and half spent with it last night I’m tempted to agree.
Sometimes it feels like the best thing ever, but then it goes and fails a mission for unclear reasons, has rules for guard behaviour I’ve not even begun to work out yet and takes you out of the action for another huge cut scene just when you’re getting into things.
And it looks absolutely incredible… except when the screen’s tearing itself in half and shadows are glitching all over the place.
I really can’t tell whether it’s any good yet or not.

This is starting to get a bit trickier now and I’m still quite near the beginning. Last night I had to chase a rogue through the streets of Barcelona, only to find myself at a door at the end of the level that I couldn’t get through. (Yes, I’m a trained assassin who can’t open

A side-scrolling platform take on Assassin’s Creed that’s not going to be for everybody. It controls pretty nicely, though there are enough different things to do that in these early days I’m having a little trouble remembering what I can do when, it looks fairly pretty for a game with 3D models, there are collectables,

Played a lot of this over the weekend, but I don’t seem to be anywhere close to the end. I’ve made it to Venice, but a lot of the city is still locked. It’s all been excellent fun, except for a glyph that turned out not to be on the building the description seemed to

Honestly, the demo of Bayonetta spoiled this a bit for me last night. After the fluid grace of the lady with the glasses, Ezio felt like a big lumbering fool of a man, constantly stumbling and falling over. I dunno, maybe he was drunk. Or maybe it’s just that I was dog tired last night.

Took a month off, for no real reason, but I’m back in Italy now. And I’m having a whale of a time. There’s a million things to do, all of them fun, and it’s just one of the very best games I’ve played in ages. It’s amazing how much better than the first game it
Ten Best Games of 2009

Normal blogging will be resumed shortly, but to mark the new year, here are the best ten games of 2009… that I played. (So no Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2, for example.) It was hard to whittle it down to a top ten, but I think I got there. Unfortunately, it means that 33rd

Honestly, I’m not sure what I should say about this. I really don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, but otherwise all I can say is that I played this for a couple of hours last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I dreamt about the game last night, too. I killed some men carrying a

Yes! A non-iPhone game! I went out on Saturday morning and used up the credit on my Blockbuster account on a copy of Assassin’s Creed 2. In these heady App Store days, spending forty pounds – forty pounds! – on a game seems ludicrous, so however much I wanted this game I’d not have got

So, yes, I tried this again, too, after realising it was on my Mac and I just had to re-sync my iPhone to put it back. Was it any better than before? Like Mega Man, yes it was. Pretty playable, even… just a bit awkward and not really much fun.

I got an iPhone at the weekend. It’s the best thing ever. I can Twitter while I sit on the loo. I can keep up with baseball scores. I can set my Sky HD to record programs while I’m out and about. I can turn the phone upside down so ladies lose their clothes. Etc.
