Peggle (360)
Mar 16th
This gets the award for the hardest version of Peggle. The aiming arrow’s quite short and there’s no cursor, so judging longer shots is tricky. It’s lovely to have leaderboards, though. Mostly for comparing with friends, but it was nice to be 16th in the world overall on level 7-4 (I think) on Saturday.
Haven’t tried multiplayer yet.
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe (360)
Mar 16th
Have no really idea what I’m doing. It’s a rental copy, so no manual, and I’ve not bothered to look up any guides online. I’ve progressed a little further than button bashing, but not much further.
Instead I’ve just been having fun beating people up. In that sense, it’s a success, but it’s hard to tell if there’s any long-term fun to be had with this. It’s not going back to Lovefilm quite yet, though.
Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City (Wii)
Mar 16th
Remembered KK Slider on Saturday night. Always nice when that happens. Played too early yesterday morning and Nook’s wasn’t even open, so I meant to play later to sell my inventory full of stuff, but forgot.
Peggle (360)
Mar 13th
Got up early this morning and spent forty-five minutes playing Peggle before work. It’s a good way to start the day, even though I’m not doing very well at all on this version. I have real trouble judging long shots, due to the lack of a cursor and the size of the screen.
Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe (360)
Mar 13th
I’m not sure how good it is, and the 360 controller does its best to fight me every step of the way, but I can use Batman to kick Green Lantern’s face in, so I’m happy.
Noby Noby Boy (PS3)
Mar 13th
Spent far longer than I intended to playing this last night. Kept eating and growing and giving myself a tiny butt, then a tiny head. Just messing around, gloriously.
Crystal Defenders Demo (PS3)
Mar 13th
No better technically than the 360 version. Looks exactly the same to my eyes.
Flower (PS3)
Mar 13th
Hmm. Put this on for a quick go last night. And it was quick, because after a few minutes it started showing a black screen and I had to quit out. Strange.
Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City (Wii)
Mar 13th
I have a basement, the final house upgrade. It’s lovely to have more space. I’ve moved my Yoshi Egg lab down there and am now using my upper floor as a games room.
Crystal Defenders (iPod)
Mar 12th
Just got to wave 29 on the first level. I think there are only thirty waves, so I was annoyingly close to the end.
