Trivial Pursuit (360)
May 6th
Two more games last night, still haven’t run out of questions. Some are insanely easy, the Bollywood ones are all guesses for me, but the question difficulty generally seems very good. If you want a Trivial Pursuit game on a console, this will definitely full your needs.

Played a couple of games against my wife. It’s not important who lost and won. (But I won both of them.)

May 3rd
Played three games this evening. I won one, the wife won two. Annoyingly, I lost one of those because I pressed the wrong button on a question I knew. Gah.
Burnout Paradise (360)
May 2nd
A couple of Achievements this morning, one for getting my A licence, one for finding all the parking garages. Annoyingly, according to my stats screen, there’s still one gas station I’ve not found. I wonder where that could be?

Played three more games with my wife last night. Had our first repeated question, which I managed to get wrong again. Oops.
Burnout Paradise (360)
May 1st
Spent some time trying out three of the legendary cars. They’re fun. I love the General Lee… sorry, Cavalry Bootlegger. It’s got the correct horn noise and everything. Perfect for doing huge jumps. I won a few more events, too, so I’m getting close to getting my A-class licence.
I wish I could remember how the stunt stuff works, though. I’m having real trouble with that. I’m not sure if there are extra controls when you’re in the air, or if it’s just a question of hitting jump after jump, or something else. Got some great takedowns with the Nighthawk, mind. I think Road Rage events are probably my favourite.
Bionic Commando Multiplayer Demo (360)
May 1st
I would have much preferred a single player demo. Trying to work out how everything worked while being shot at by other people wasn’t much fun. Only played one game and first impressions are poor. The swinging mechanism I can’t quite work out, the guns appear to be a bit rubbish, the graphics aren’t up to much and it just all felt a bit off. Might be a question of getting used to it or it might just be rubbish. I’m leaning towards the latter right now, and would be leaning that way a lot harder if one of Twitter chums didn’t seem to be enjoying it so much.

Had a quick twenty minutes on this last night. Bombed around, jumped through some billboards, failed a Road Rage event, had a great time. (Even though it kept popping up messages telling me how good Dimrill is at the game at every opportunity.)
