Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting (360)
Aug 2nd
It’s finally here.
I’ve not bothered with single player yet, just ranked matches online.
Current stats:
Won 1, lost 6.
Oops.
Saints Row Demo (360)
Aug 2nd
Well, I’ve turned it on for half an hour before work, so it must be doing something right.
Saints Row Demo (360)
Aug 1st
Well, I reckon it’s… okay.
I really wish I could accelerate and brake with the triggers. I really, really, hope that’s a control option in the final version.
And I hope the framerate is sorted out in the final version. It’s pretty shocking at times right now.
And I hope other bits of the city are more interesting – I want to get some air!
Other than that, it seems like it could be an acceptable GTA-clone to keep me going for a while. I’m very fond of the car explosions and shooting people from the car is much easier than it is in GTA.
Lacking in any real spark, maybe, but it could be a good playground. I may well buy it.
I’m damning with faint praise, but I enjoyed it more than it sounds like I did. I just got annoyed with the red demo walls popping up everywhere.

Ouch, I’m rubbish.
I also don’t enjoy it much.
The leaderboards tempted me into buying this. I probably should have stuck with the demo.
Cloning Clyde (360)

Lovely little platform game. Exactly what we should be seeing on Live Arcade. Played the demo, bought the full version, had great fun.
Felt guilty for not playing Phoenix Wright, though.
