So much fun had and I didn’t even go online. I did a fair few time trials – badly – then did some Grand Prixs. It was great, but then my TV decided to show random flashing pixel-high two-centimetre long lines all over the screen, so I had to turn everything off and on again and by the time I’d done all that it was time for the Eastenders Omnibus and too late for more Mario Kart.

Current favourite track is Rainbow Road, but it’s often my least favourite track. Depends on whether I’m in a big heavy kart or on a tiny bike.

Utterly infuriating, far too much text, unskippable repetitive cut scenes, yet somehow still charming. One of those “turn off in disgust and come back to ten minutes later” games.

Well, after hours and hours of slow, slow downloads and updates I finally got online with this. Not quite sure what to think. It seems to encourage one type of play control-wise and another well, play-wise. It’s all very well to try to be sneaky and cunning, but it all boils down to speed and accuracy with the right stick in the end. Unfortunately, I have none of that. I’m very good at faking people out by playing dead and using the cardboard box, when it comes time to capitalise on that I’m all over the place and my shots merely serve as a way to give away my position to the enemy who just ran right past me.

Sigh.

And I’ve no idea how the CQC stuff works at all.

Downloaded this horror game demo from the Japanese store. Shouldn’t have bothered. Awful camera, clunky controls and not a lot else that I could see. I could have been missing something, mind, what with it being in Japanese and all.

One quick go, then my wife got off the phone and it was time for some TV. Bye 360!

Except, not.

It keeps telling me I’ve got the trial version, even though I bought it, and won’t let me play. Nor will it let me buy it again (not that I would) because I’ve already bought it. I deleted it and redownloaded it, but nothing helped.

GAH!

A quick game against the 360, which I won handsomly.

My high score is now over twice that of any on my friends list. I win, or something.

Well, I’m never going to play through Half-Life 2 and Episode One on the 360 after all this time, so I thought I’d start off Episode Two. Seems pretty good so far, in a “more or the same” kind of way. Just finished an antlion siege, which was more fun than I expected it to be.

…I’m sure there are odder game concepts than “roguelike Pokemon bounty hunter”, but few spring readily to mind.
