Rush’n Attack (360)
May 24th
No new high score today, but I did get an Achievement for completing the first level without losing a life.
Soltrio Solitaire (360)
May 24th
Who’d waste 800 points on Solitaire?
I would.
This is because -
1) After my operation yesterday this is a perfect chill out and relax on the sofa game.
2) My wife was very excited about it.
Rush’n Attack (360)
May 23rd
Otherwise known as Green Beret.
It’s the same excellent game as always, with updated graphics that aren’t an amboniation and some neat achievements.
Pity the 360 controller has killed me almost as many times as my own rubbishness, but there we go.
Doesn’t seem to be very popular, as nobody on my Friends list is on the leaderboard and I’m number 669 in the world.
Crackdown (360)
May 19th
After Halo, we decided to play some Crackdown. Polished of Los Meurtos, then killed all the Volk. Only the Shai Gen left, then I’ll have done all the bosses in co-op.
Nice.
Halo 3 Beta (360)
May 19th
Played a few more ranked games of Slayer and did very badly. Then tried out the team matches, but we only seemed to play Team Slayer. Everything else got veteod by the other people in the game. I didn’t do very well at all, but I did get to see the fabled third beta map, Valhalla.
Then a friend of mine came online and we played some unranked games of Slayer together. I did better there, but didn’t win anything.
Test Drive Unlimited Demo (360)
May 19th
The handling really isn’t as annoying as I remember it. I think I might have been playing with assists off when I had the full game, which was a bit silly. Good enough fun to play for the full hour of the demo, which is a good sign. Lots of other drivers whizzing around, too, though nobody was doing the formal races.
Anyway, I’ve ordered a stupidly cheap copy from Play to replace the one I foolishly traded in, which I hope should be here in time for me to play during the recovery period after my upcoming operation. Fingers crossed.
Halo 3 Beta (360)
May 17th
I just won a game! Yes, a real game. I got up to 25 kills in Slayer on High Ground before anyone else. (The nearest person was on 22.) That’s probably never going to happen again, so I’ll let myself feel some fleeting glory.

Halo 3 Beta (360)
May 17th
It’s Halo 2, but with a lick of paint and couple of new bits of furniture.
This means two things -
1) It’s truly excellent.
2) I am rubbish at it.
At World’s End Demo (360)
May 15th
A grown-up version of last year’s DS game, basically. As such it’s a fun swashbuckling romp and possibly worth getting in full, if you like that sort of thing.
Which I do.
Forza Motorsport 2 Demo (360)
May 13th
I think I’m going to have admit that I like this, as I can’t seem to stop playing it. Today’s car was the Gallardo, which I managed to drive reasonably well for the most part. I wish tiny mistakes weren’t punished so severely, but there’s no way round that as it’s, you know, car racing.
