Frogger (360)
Apr 25th
One quick go, then my wife got off the phone and it was time for some TV. Bye 360!
Sonic The Hedgehog (360)
Apr 25th
Except, not.
It keeps telling me I’ve got the trial version, even though I bought it, and won’t let me play. Nor will it let me buy it again (not that I would) because I’ve already bought it. I deleted it and redownloaded it, but nothing helped.
GAH!
Mr Driller Online (360)
Apr 25th
My high score is now over twice that of any on my friends list. I win, or something.
Half-Life 2 Episode Two (360)
Apr 25th
Well, I’m never going to play through Half-Life 2 and Episode One on the 360 after all this time, so I thought I’d start off Episode Two. Seems pretty good so far, in a “more or the same” kind of way. Just finished an antlion siege, which was more fun than I expected it to be.
Ikaruga (360)
Apr 9th
I’ve owned Ikaruga on the DC and GC, but it’s never really clicked.
Tonight, though, after a good few tries of the demo it finally did. Took its time, but we finally got there.
So I bought the full game with some points I’ve had sitting around since last year and I’m about 2050th in the world, or something.
Mr Driller Online (360)
Apr 7th
Haven’t taken this online yet – which sounds like a good thing, as it’s apparently horribly broken – but I did have another quick go at the India stage between Mad Men and bed. Didn’t do awfully well and lost one life simply because the controller didn’t seem to want me to drill upwards. Gah. That’s the funny thing, when the controls are working they feel more fluid and responsive than just about any other version of the game, but when the stick refuses to go in quite the direction you want it to, it’s horrible.
The Simpsons Game (360)
Apr 4th
First impressions are that it’s a standard platform game, elevated by fantastic Simpsonsness but then let down again by an atrocious camera. Still good fun so far. I just try not to think about Mario Galaxy when the camera moves 180 degrees during jumps and I fall to the floor AGAIN.

The 360 controller’s killed me a few times, but other that…
::happy sigh::
I love Mr Driler.
