Pac-Man (360)
Aug 20th
Fearfully addictive, but I do wish the controls worked. The joystick is controller-smashingly imprecise, whereas the d-pad is merely maddeningly so… but the d-pad’s uncomfortable.
Still, got my score up to 20,080, which places me third on my Friends Leaderboard.
Saints Row Demo (360)
Aug 20th
Yes, yet more fun with pipe bombs. Another hour or so of fun, in fact.
I’ve played this demo a lot…
I wish cars were easier to destroy. I want to crash into other vehicles and for them to burn.
Dead Rising Demo (360)
Aug 20th
This is really very entertaining.
I’ve been trying to take the best picture possible. So far I’ve got almost eight-hundred points. That’s a snap of zombies being shot at close range with a shotgun.
Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting (360)
Aug 20th
Well, I’ve played it a bit more online. Ranked matches only.
I can win now and again if I use E. Honda, but people really don’t seem to like you doing it.
Pac-Man (360)
Aug 20th
Upped my score to 13,940.
But is it me, or is the 360 controller rubbish for the game?
Flight Simulator X Demo (PC)
Aug 20th
Ground textures awful below 2,000 feet.
Not that you can see them given most cockpits seem to fill up 95% of the screen, leaving you look at complicated gauges and blue sky.
I’m not sure why I bothered trying it really. Well, I do. It’s because my brother-in-law has infected me with his enthsiasm and because I want to fly round the Grand Canyon. Which probably won’t be in the game when it comes out, anyway.
City Of Villains (PC)
Aug 20th
Actually, I didn’t really play the game.
I spent ages playing around in the character creation bit and then when I finally started up I got bored before the end of the tutorial.
Saints Row Demo (360)
Aug 19th
Oh! Such mayhem!
I do hope the framerate’s sorted before the final release. And I hope that stuff doesn’t disappear so quickly. A police car disappeared from view as I was firing at it today. I was only about four feet away.
Niggles, though. Generally this is superb fun.
PIPE. BOMBS.
Pac-Man (360)
Aug 19th
Demo downloaded, full game bought.
Managed 10,270 so far, which isn’t too shabby considering I’ve been up for 29 hours.
Dead Rising Demo (360)
Aug 19th
Take State of Emergency.
Slow it down.
Make it make a bit more sense.
Add taking photos to the mix.
And, most importantly, change the rioters into zombies.
Or something.
Anyway, full game very desired.
