I'm really impressed. I ran out of steam at about 115 jiggies and I really ought to go back and get the last few...

I'm tidying up the last few achievements on Guitar Hero: Aerosmith I'm struggling on Back in the Saddle on expert as the solo goes on forever, though I did get to 98% so I will do it.

I picked up Madagascar 2 which I'm playing with my little girl. It's as expected and fun enough.

When I get some time without the kids I'll hit Resident Evil 5 again. I'm back playing solo again as I just can't predict when I'm going to find time to play (Sorry Nokkon). I did get past chapter 3 earlier and haven't enough superlatives to throw at it atm.

Yes, I got Connect 4 for free; part of Family Game Night. I'm stuck with 170 (will be 200 soon)/1400 on my gamertag for ever and well, what can I say: it's connect 4.

edit: It's my birthday next week and I'm thinking about getting: http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-...r/Product.html What do people think is the best plastic drum kit? Is it worth getting one and as someone who used to play drums how close to playing for real is it?

I guessed you wouldn't be far off and would know what a pig it was

FYI - The trophy I left was Saucer of Peril - I applaud anyone who can TT that b*****d. Flower Shower Power was fine I found (torpediles, Kaz and well times lasers!), and there's some good replays to help with Germ Warfare

Never used it, but heard it's very good. Drums on Rock Band are great fun though and fun > realism, after all, if it wasn't, we'd never play games.

DO IT!

Plastic drumming is the future

Karl, I noticed Pure in your sig, how are you finding it? I quite liked the demo but haven't gotten around to playing it since it came out. Is it any good?

Daz · 28-04-2009, 15:38

Little tip for the Banjo players - I set a 1 person league running last night, aiming for the 'Premier League!' achievement (Play in and complete a marathon multiplayer game league) - mostly letting it play on it's own, just leaving the pad on play and charge. However when I came back later, I'd somehow unlocked 'Are You Trophy Thomas?' (Win 20 Xbox LIVE ranked multiplayer games in any mode) - despite not even being an Xbox Live league, let alone a ranked one.

Turns out it's a glitch caused by a recent patch. Considering how difficult it is to start multiplayer games up it may be worth getting it sneakily while you can. Oh the morality!

It is quite good, graphically it's stunning but after playing something like Motorstorm it feels too one dimensional featuring only quad-bikes. As a racing game it's actually harder than most and is more challenging than I was expecting with one of the most bizarre difficulty curves I've ever experienced - I blitzed the first series winning all 4 races with ease, next series my 4 positions are 6th, 13th, 9th, 16th! So that can be off putting.

I think it would be best to play it now before Fuel though Davey because Fuel looks like it could be fantastic. 5,000 square miles of landscape, open ended, any route you want, multiple vehicle types, and stunning graphics. Of course, it could fall flat on its face, but it certainly looks to offer more variation than Pure.

Nice find. This will be done asap

If you let it run on it's own it'll take a good couple of hours, just fyi
