Blazing Birds Demo (360)
May 23rd
Over-complicated Slime Volleyball. I thought was enjoying it for a while, then suddenly realised I wasn’t and turned it off.
Pokemon Trozei (DS)
May 23rd
Blast from the past!
Had a hankering for this, so dug it out and have spent an enjoyable few minutes using the stylus to make lines of matching Pokemon. Seems to have been unjustly forgotten this game – it’s a good little puzzler and the cutscenes look great.
Rag Doll Kung-Fu: Fists of Plastic (PS3)
May 23rd
Costs £7.99 on the UK PSN store, but was free on the US one, so I grabbed it from there. It’s not a bad little fighting game, actually. Not sure I’d be happy with it for eight quid, but for free I’m very happy.
Noby Noby Boy (PS3)
May 23rd
We’ve reached Mars! I got another couple of trophies today!
I really, really love this game. I didn’t think I’d play it as much as I have. I really thought it would be a short-lived novelty, but I keep coming back. I played it last night, I played it more today. It’s just wonderful escapism.
PixelJunk Racers (PS3)
May 23rd
Nope, I still can’t control it. I try every year or so, but it never clicks.
PixelJunk Monsters (PS3)
May 23rd
Haven’t played this for years. Or since it launched, which must’ve been over a year ago now. I think.
Anyway, it’s a decent little game now as it was then. Maybe a little harder than it could be, but I don’t mind.
Dark Mist (PS3)
May 23rd
Another twin-stick shooter? Really? Anything to set it apart from all the others?
Well, not that I’ve really seen, but it’s good, solid fun. Certainly not essential, as far as I can from some limited play, but worth a look.
Trivial Pursuit (360)
May 21st
Four more games last night, still no repeated questions. Excellent stuff. I won the first two, but then my wife came back to win the second two, which meant she was the winner, because the first two were just practice games… or something.
Animal Crossing: Let’s Go To The City (Wii)
May 21st
I bought a giant moon. 32,000 bells well spent, I feel.
Dynasty Warriors Strikeforce (PSP)
May 21st
Ooh, interesting new type of mission last night. A ten minute time limit and and a load of areas filled with big baddies capable of stunning you to get through before reaching the boss. I was cutting it a little fine – I went off to get the bonus objective on the way – but found a time extender at the entrance to the final area. Didn’t find any items to help me get new weapons, though.
