Ha.
After all my big talk yesterday, the AI was killing me on Medium today. The only difference between today and yesterday is that I was using The River expansion today, but that shouldn’t have made any difference, I wouldn’t have thought.
Pinball FX (360)

You know, I wish I knew what I was doing on these tables. I’ve been playing Agent and I have no idea where to hit to, say, meet the informant and my score at the end of each game seems completely random.
There are too many flashing lights – it needs to make it clearer what’s going on.

I downloaded the new charity pack, which consists of four very nice skins.
I then went back to the Base pack to try and improve my score, but failed. I’m never going to see all the skins and get the achievements. Bah.
Doom (360)
Jul 7th
Completed the level I’d left it on months ago, but didn’t make any headway into the one after that. Cacodemons and those flying skulls are the worst things ever.
Still, best game ever? Yes.

I’m so rubbish at this. Didn’t even get half of my own best score – and that score’s rubbish, anyway.
Still, it’s good fun, which is what matters.
Flatout Ultimate Carnage (360)

I’m doing quite well now. I got a silver in the next Derby cup and have got golds in a couple of events. The fun doesn’t seem to be wearing off yet.
Rush’n Attack (360)
Jul 7th
Didn’t get off level two, didn’t beat my high score, but I didn’t do too badly, either. After a decent game, though, my timing went and I couldn’t even get to the trucks on the first level, so had to turn off.
Annoyingly, I’m still the only person on my Friends List with this game. Why? It’s great. Possibly even Top Ten of All Time great.
Carcassonne (360)

AI doesn’t seem to be much of a challenge on Medium, either. I’ve lost the odd game, but not many. I’ll try Hard, but that’ll probably kill me dead.
Flatout Ultimate Carnage (360)
Jul 4th
Two more cups down. One bronze, one silver. I’ll go back and get golds some time.
had a great moment where I slammed into another car on a ram. He went spinning into the distance and I did the biggest jump I’ve ever done. It was glorious. It was one of those moments where I turn to my wife and ask her if she saw it. She had, and agreed it was sweet. Icing on the cake was the Achievement Unlocked message that popped up as I landed, in this case for getting more than 10m high in a race.
Missile Command Demo (360)
Jul 4th
Had three goes to make sure, but I really don’t like this. The pointer is far too twitchy for my tastes and having to work out which base to fire from has always made my head hurt. Deleted.
