Gran Turismo HD (PS3)
May 25th
I went through and did all the basic Time Trials, unlocking all the cars and the different modes along the way. Wish there were more persistant leaderboards – on the daily leaderboards my highest position is 4 and lowest is 71, which basically just shows roughly how many people have tried each challenge, rather than my own quality. If you see what I mean.
DiRT Demo (360)

Oh, this is very nice. Very nice indeed. Not too sure about the tarmac racing, but the buggy racing is just different enoguh from Motorstorm to be worthwhile and the hill climb is brilliant.
I’m really not sure about Forza now.
Test Drive Unlimited (360)
May 24th
So, I played this for the first time in months. I nearly started a new game, but decided against it. Took my gorgeous Charger out for a spin, then got in my Nissan Nismo, which though not sexy in the least is at least useful.
A few events wouldn’t give me a gold, so I settled for silver, but I added over $150,000 to my bank balance, mainly thanks to a car delivery mission that I almost, almost, almost did perfectly. Also got a few Achievements, reached Pro level (no idea how, it just popped up) and created and uploaded an online challenge.
Soltrio Solitaire (360)
May 24th
It’s very simple, but I really like the way you can construct your own decks of cards. You just choose three elements to create the back of the card, but it’s still a very nice touch.

Just checking I didn’t want to buy this. Though it was better than I remembered I still didn’t think it was worth 400 points. Maybe 200, but not 400.

Pokemon Diamond (DS)

I’m trying to find fossils.
I’m failing.
I’ve also decided to bury all spheres outside my base in future. I know I buried some a while back and can’t find them anywhere. Oops.
Rush’n Attack (360)
May 24th
No new high score today, but I did get an Achievement for completing the first level without losing a life.
Soltrio Solitaire (360)
May 24th
Who’d waste 800 points on Solitaire?
I would.
This is because -
1) After my operation yesterday this is a perfect chill out and relax on the sofa game.
2) My wife was very excited about it.
Rush’n Attack (360)
May 23rd
Otherwise known as Green Beret.
It’s the same excellent game as always, with updated graphics that aren’t an amboniation and some neat achievements.
Pity the 360 controller has killed me almost as many times as my own rubbishness, but there we go.
Doesn’t seem to be very popular, as nobody on my Friends list is on the leaderboard and I’m number 669 in the world.
