Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3)
Mar 27th
Into the final set of levels now, I think. It’s got quite hard, but not yet too hard.

No, look, I don’t understand. I honestly cannot understand why people don’t like this. It’s brilliant and it just keeps getting better and better. I don’t understand the reviews or the reaction from a lot of people online. I am loving it.

Ah, saving the world single-handled. That’s what video game characters do best.
I’m starting to use more weapons now, there seem to be more and more opportunities to get a bit creative. I even found a good place to luse the blobby mine gun, which is a first. And one section became a lot easier once I’d noticed there was a nice sniping position on the way in that I’d missed the first time.
I love this game. I know some people don’t, but then some people don’t like Doom 3. Maybe I’m a freak… but I’m a freak having fun, so I win.
Gran Turismo HD (PS3)
Mar 25th
Unlocked a few more cars, drove round the same track a few times.
You know, they could release GT4 with these graphics, call it GT5 and I’d not only buy it, but I’d be happy with it. I know, I know, I know.

Not the best game in the world, but an excellent-value download from the Playstation Store. Just a shiny and slightly fatter version of the PSP game, but that’s no bad thing. I fully completed all of the Beginner tracks this evening and had a good time.
Forumla 1 CE Demo (PS3)
Mar 25th
This is actually really, really good with the driving aids off and damage on. Played it for quite a while this evening. Nearly finished a 10%-length race at one point, but hit a barrier on the penultimate lap and lost a wheel. Bit too hardcore for me, but if I had time and money that don’t exist I could see myself getting into this.
Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (PSP)
Mar 25th
While my wife played this on the PS3, I played the PSP version. Doesn’t look as pretty, but there’s more to do. I got through the first dojo with Jack-5 and then updated my ghost online. Maybe one day people will be able to download it and beat me up, while laughing at the ineptitude.

Spent three more hours shooting mutants in the face this morning. Enjoyed every minute, even the boss battle that took me about ten tries.
The difficulty is just about perfect for me on Normal. Nothing feels too hard, but I am dying now and then. Reviews have been talking about how excellent the weapons are, but I’ve found myself relying on the Bullseye for the vast majority of the time. The new spoldgy mine weapon I found this morning I really can’t find a use for and the ricochet weapon is imprecise and runs out of ammo far too quickly.

Ah, Jack-5. Overpowered to the very max. I couldn’t beat him, so I fought as him and had great fun. I worked out a few moves, went up in rank a few times and bought some nice cosmetic upgrades.
Now my wife has taken over again and is playing as Lili. She seems to be enjoying herself. I’m thinking of digging out the PSP version. Not as shiny, but the single player game is more fleshed out.
Next weekend I think we might use the last of my Gamestation credit note for another controller.
In case you’d not noticed, we are loving this new console. It’s not got a great range of games yet and it’s very expensive, but the games we have are all great fun and it’s just a lovely, shiny piece of kit. Apart from not charging the controllers when in standby mode and having an insulting short charging cable that doesn’t reach the wife’s side of the sofa from the console, of course. Bad Sony.
