Touch Golf (DS)
Oct 12th
Two things happened last night:
1) I got my first eagle.
2) I got past the rookie level.
I rock.
FIFA 07 (DS)
Oct 8th
Well, I turned the difficulty up to Amateur and played two games against Birmingham City. (Boo, hiss, etc.) In the first game I had someone sent off three minutes in and lost 1-0, but in the second game I kept eleven men on the pitch and won 4-1. Which feels about right…
Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith (DS)
Oct 8th
A nice little licensed game. A scrolling beat-em-up of the old school, with 3D Starfox-style flying stages inserted every few stages.
The story is compressed so much that it’s completely nonsensical if you’ve not seen the movie, but who’s going to be playing who hasn’t?
Far better than the awful Lego Star Wars II DS game, at any rate.
Touch Golf (DS)
Oct 8th
Now this I genuinely like without any if, buts, maybes or reservations of any kind.
Which isn’t to say that it’s the best game I’ve ever played, but it’s a nice non-gimmicky golf game that makes good use of the stylus and is fun to play.
FIFA 07 (DS)
Oct 8th
Well, it’s a lot more enjoyable straight off than the 360 demo.
Probably because it’s set on the easiest difficulty level – as Villa I just beat Port Vale 11-1 in the final of the English Cup.
Perhaps I need to make it a bit harder before judging what it’s really like, eh?
42 All-Time Classics (DS)

Thank fuck for that.
I’ve finished the incredibly painful Stamp mode, which means I’ve got all the games unlocked.
Really, it was horrible, horrible, horrible. Some of the games just made no sense whatsoever to my poor brain.
Awful.

Okay, so Company of Heroes is still running on my PC, just paused, but I’ve spent hours and hours playing Stamp mode on this. I don’t even like most of the games, for goodness sake! What am I doing?
42 All-Time Classics (DS)

Variable, but a fair amount of fun playing two-player with wife.
I won.
But not at everything.
She beat me badly at bowling, for example.
Mega Man ZX (DS)

I’ve got further. Now I just need to find Guardian HQ to complete my mission, or something.
