Exit (PSP)
Oct 18th
My PSP had been unplayed for so long that it had forgotten the date and time. Oops.
Anyway, tried the first few levels of Exit. Graphically its incredibly gorgeous and makes my heart sing with joy… but the gameplay seems very stilted. But I have only tried the training levels so far, I suppose.
Football Manager 2007 Demo (MAC)
Oct 18th
Just playing around with this as Villa while I wait for the full version to arrive.
I’m quite enjoying having money and players I’ve heard of, so I might even do this in the full game, instead of taking a random lower league team on.
Naked War (PC)
Oct 18th
I’m losing my current games and turns are coming in slowly, but I’m really enjoying it when I play.
(Except when I seem to find a bug which means one of my men doesn’t move or use his healing items on his turn.)
Phantasy Star Universe (360)
Oct 16th
Needs a manual or some properly helpful in-game text.
I need to partner up with people, but I was too scared and so made my own my way through one level, getting up to level three in the process.
Don’t have much desire to play it again.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 (360)
Oct 16th
Playing this on my 360. Enjoying it more than on the original Xbox because I can see what’s going on. It helps.
However, I died a million times in the skies over Kashyyyk at the weekend and once I got quite far into the mission and one of the mission events failed to trigger. I hope that was just a one-off and not a problem with playing the game on the 360.
Touch Golf (DS)
Oct 16th
This has gone and got hard, damn it.
I’m seeing the “Out of Bounds” message entirely too often.
Naked War (PC)
Oct 12th
I am enjoying this an incredible amount. It’s really quite brilliant.
Oh, yes, I’m losing, but I’m getting better, training my eyes to see in the right way.
Blocking, that’s what I need to remember.
Dig Dug Demo (360)
Oct 12th
Two very simple levels that show me nothing I want to know. I don’t want to know the basic mechanics, I want to know how the game changes at later levels, please.
And I hate the way the music only plays when you move. Hate, hate, hate it.
Full game remains unbought.
FIFA 07 (DS)
Oct 12th
I started my career at Villa with a 5-2 win against Arsenal…
So I checked the game settings and it says it’s on Beginner level and won’t let me change it. Odd.
Touch Golf (DS)
Oct 12th
Two things happened last night:
1) I got my first eagle.
2) I got past the rookie level.
I rock.
