Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (DS)
Got busted after crashing a petrol tanker while carrying $35,000 worth of coke. That’s a big hit to take, but less than half my vast fortune. Drug dealing is an excellent way to make money and it’s a lot of fun. So much so that I haven’t done any missions in hours. I’m slightly worried that the huge profits to be made from high-value drugs will unbalance the game, but I’m sure the developers have got that covered.
This is, I think, probably the best game to hit the DS in years. So many nice touches – optional top-screen GPS arrows, ordering from Ammunation from your PDA, being able to save anywhere, easy access to information about which dealers are selling and buying cheaply, etc.

Haven’t played this in ages, but it called out to me last night and I thought I’d give it a go. Didn’t do any missions, just mucked about getting used to the controls again, then stole an Ammunation truck and found a rocket launcher. Hooray! Of course, I blew myself up with it, but only
Ten iPhone Games To Play In March 2010

A break from the usual list of the ten iPhone games I judge to be the best, here’s a list of ten games to play during this month. All will be great games, but they’ll be selected based on a mix of quality, novelty and relevance to the month’s events. Angry Birds Angry Birds is

Mainly rampages this lunchtime, which sits well with a quick go sat at my desk. No flamethrowers, sadly, but I did get to use a big, fun machine gun and an amusing rocket launcher. Shame I managed to blow myself up with the rocket launcher, but I did bisect a cop in the same explosion,

Guess what? I found another flamethrower rampage last night! I really should be marking these on my map, because I don’t think they get automatically added. So far I’ve only been manually adding weapons and armour – yellow stars for weapons, blue for armour. I also managed to hijack another Ammunation truck. That’s probably my

So, is there any point in putting the “(iPhone)” bit in the title of the post now I’m using categories and all? I’ll have to ponder that. Anyway, I had an immensely fun time with Chinatown Wars last night. I didn’t play for hours and hours, with just a relatively short play session, but I

I think I only did one actual story mission over the weekend, but I did at least one side mission, too. I spent most of my time dealing drugs to get some more money – I’d lost it all and had to bankroll my first buy with a trip to the kart track, again –
GTA IV: The Lost and Damned (360)

Finally finished off The Lost and Damned yesterday, after taking a break of many months. I was right near the end, so it didn’t take long. The Diamonds In The Rough mission took a few goes, but it was pretty much plain sailing after that. The game does seem increasingly unfriendly – lack of mission

Highs and lows, my friends, highs and lows. The first bright spot was that I am actually able to play games again – ModNation Racers didn’t permanently put me off. I was quite able to spend an enjoyable half hour or so with Chinatown Wars today. High and lows, though. HIGH: Completed my first Unique

CARNAGE! RAMPAGE! EXCITEMENT! I had a fun lunchtime.

Dealt some cheap heroin to get the $5,000 I needed to progress in the story. Took me a few – very careful – trips, but I got there easily enough. Now I have a new safehouse and have opened up more weapons to buy. By far the best thing that happened last night was hijacking
