Bayonetta (360)
Only had half an hour to play this last night.
(The first part of the evening was taken up by Mystic River, which is a fine movie but not close to the brilliance of the book, and then the first two episodes of Glee were on E4. I’m very much looking forward to seeing more.)
Of the half hour I got to spend with Bayonetta, I’d guess that twenty minutes was cut scenes and about ten minutes was gameplay. Though that feels overly generous – it certainly felt like I hardly got to touch the pad. Oh well, hopefully I’ll actually get to play it more tonight.

It’s been too long. I’ve not played Bayonetta in a couple of weeks or so, but an hour spent with it last night reminded me of just how good it is. I went through chapter six from beginning to end. I found huge monsters, protected an annoying child and didn’t have to sit through too

Last night I finished chapter five (using an invincibility item I’d made on the boss) and bought some perfume. I also got a new weapon, claws of some kind, that don’t seem especially useful. I think they’re slow, short-ranged, damaging weapons, but I’m more of a quick in-and-out player, so they don’t seem to suit

Utterly brilliant stuff, obviously. I even managed to work out USING MY OWN BRANE how to stay in the air for a minute to complete one of the mini challenges I’ve found littered about the place. I was very, very proud of that moment. It was just pure experimentation and it worked. Now, though, I’m

Up to chapter five now. This is blooming marvellous. I’m still getting stone trophies at the end of chapters, but so are all my friends – and I’m holding my own in the combo leaderboards now. So I’m not missing anything, I’m just not brilliant at the game yet. That’s okay, though. While I’m dying

Bayonetta is so amazingly brilliant that I just want to explode with joy. Okay, the cut scenes go on too long, but I’ll be skipping those after my first time through the game – and, yes, I fully intend to play through Bayonetta multiple times. I probably won’t, because I’ll probably get stuck on a

Got a whole hour with this last night. The luxury! Still a few too many cut scenes, really, but it’s calmed right down now and I am loving it, absolutely loving it. It’s silky smooth and funny and exciting and satisfying and it just hits all the right gameplay notes for me. I fear I’m

Played this again last night, just to check I really liked it before spending my Christmas money from my grandmother-in-law on a pre-order. And I do like it. I like it a lot. I’m really rather rubbish at it – though remembering I can use healing items would make things a bit easier – and

Stupidly OTT third-person gorefest, like the mad aunt nobody mentions in the Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden family. I surprised myself by actually managing to pull off sensible moves and dodges, despite everything being too busy for my conscious mind to process. One of those games where you really have to go with the
