What are you playing at the moment? - Page 36

I think I played the demo of GUN but never got round to playing the full game. After seeing the Bio Shock 2 trailer today was looking back at that to see what I needed to complete as there are a few achievements left on that.

Currently we're working our way through Lego Star Wars the Original Trilogy.

I had a problem with Bioshock not keeping the achievements I earned so I went back through it and got them again including the ones for 43 Tonics and all Audio Diaries. Just need to complete it without using a Vita-Chamber on hard for the last 2 achievements (I completed it on Hard the first time when it lost my achievements)

Have 960/1100 on that now, so not too bad. Only did it a fortnight ago, was great fun.
I sent Jen a good guide for where all the audio diaries and tonics are if you want it, though I truly urge you to complete it without a guide the first time

I've done it all the way through last August so would just be going back to it to mop up the remaining achievements and enjoy it again

If you have that guide that would be awesome!

So I've got to go back and do all that again, grr! I've been getting each Sour Pinata when it's been possible though

The official guide is quite handy as it basically just lists all the pinatas and what's required, handy for the lazy person such as me

And I like reading stuff like that anyhow. Lovely unique game really

I found this site: http://pinataisland.info/ invaluable for getting 1000/1000. Also having chicken pox at 33 really helped as I could barely leave the sofa for weeks.

I loved Gun and finding an achievement scam after I finished that meant I only needed to play the last scene on each difficulty level to get 1000/1000 was fantastic

Viva Pinata's quite easy without a guide, though admitidly it's a pain going through the menus to check requirements for each pinata. I've only got two achievements left on it now.

What I did for Master Romancer was breed and buy at the same time, and you end up making a small profit on each species which is good, though breeding is the best way as it goes towards 50 hours as well.

Likewise, haven't done either of them with a guide, just a look at what achievements there are to aim for. You're right about the menu's though, I can get to the encyclopaedia blindfolded now!

Just the one for me - 50 hours. Dont think I'm even at 15 hours so may not ever get that unless I want to leave the console on (which I don't).

Yeah me too. Dont buy as many in TiP though, so I get to know the maze minigame well before I attempt the speed run (for the twins).

That site is great

Found it by accident but it's brilliant. I've got the official guide too mainly because I love Prima guides

I'd own one for every game I've played if I could afford it

Thanks for the tip

GUN is a great game, very underrated but very enjoyable. I'd love to see a sequel one day.
Oblivion is ok, but not my kind of RPG so wasn't very memorable for me.

I'm at 40 hours I think =/

What speed runs do you mean for TiP, haven't heard anything about that?

GRID.

Wossi popped over Sunday & traded me GRID & I've taken to it Big style

First time played I am like WTF this is crap the cars are all over the place. 2nd time I played it I went fast enough to need the quick steering

& it's Awesome. I don't think I've ever played a more exciting game, It's Ultra fast with screen shake & cars literally disintergrating in front & around you. The game has clearly been designed to put you in the middle of some serious action any chance it can get, Kind of a F@*k realism lets put the player in the most dramatic film set style racing we can imagine & blow his mind

I have all my licences now even my Global about 3 million rep points & around 60 mill quids. Time to take this baby online me thinks. I did go online for a bit of Demolition derby but haven't raced tracks yet. Demo derby is Perfect, I'm rocking along in 5th sticking the back out looking for a victim when I go over the ramp & get some air, next thing I know some dudes car is hanging out my drivers window & I've been rolled about 3 times

GRID is great fun

Could get frustrating occasionally with some of the driving from the AI, but for the most part a good blend between fun and challenge.
