Carcassonne (360)
Jul 7th
AI doesn’t seem to be much of a challenge on Medium, either. I’ve lost the odd game, but not many. I’ll try Hard, but that’ll probably kill me dead.
Flatout Ultimate Carnage (360)
Jul 4th
Two more cups down. One bronze, one silver. I’ll go back and get golds some time.
had a great moment where I slammed into another car on a ram. He went spinning into the distance and I did the biggest jump I’ve ever done. It was glorious. It was one of those moments where I turn to my wife and ask her if she saw it. She had, and agreed it was sweet. Icing on the cake was the Achievement Unlocked message that popped up as I landed, in this case for getting more than 10m high in a race.
Missile Command Demo (360)
Jul 4th
Had three goes to make sure, but I really don’t like this. The pointer is far too twitchy for my tastes and having to work out which base to fire from has always made my head hurt. Deleted.
Carcassonne (360)
Jul 4th
Had a quick game against the 360. Won very, very easily despite managing to complete a monastery for it by mistake. Might have to take the difficulty up a notch… or, you know, just enjoy winning.
Flatout Ultimate Carnage (360)
Jul 3rd
Well, I got second on a cup that was giving me trouble at the weekend and went to the next one, but only came seventh. No matter. This is one of those games that’s so fun that repetition is not a problem at all. Glorious.
Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition (Wii)
Jul 3rd
I had a great evening with this. Lots of villager-killing, with one big boss and one major set piece. That seige with Luis in the house is so, so good. I was a bit sad that I didn’t die, because I’d have quite liked to do it again.
