Meh, it keeps me above water.

Decided to start renting some games again from Boomerang. Currently working my way through Quantum of Solace on 360. I also got Saints Row 2. I missed the boat when it first came out. Will finish Quantum of Solace first though before getting too involved with SR2.

Quantum of Solace is quite good so far. It's a bit all over the place though. One mission it's Quantum of Solace and the next it's Casino Royale based. The in between mission comm's don't seem to make it clear why but quite enjoying it still.

I've been bouncing between a few games lately. Went back to Call of Duty 4 to go through Veteran, and also Bioshock to go through it on Hard (hopefully without dying to get the Brass Balls achievement). Also been playing Summer Athletics a bit to try to get some more achievements as it's a bit rubbish and I want to send it back to Lovefilm. The Wheelman turned up today for me to review so I'll likely play that a lot over the next week or so.

What with one thing and another I've only been able to occaisionally strum through GH3 since the Xbox arrived a few weeks ago so I used the bank holiday as an excuse to give it a more thorough play test

Grabbed Mass Effect and Beautiful Katamari and downloaded Peggle and Castle Crashers for good measure. The Missus frowned when it first arrived but now shes trying to elbow me out of the way and get her GH/Peggle/Katamari fix. She even got stuck into some co-op Castle Crashers with me

I really enjoyed it

Although I do know exactly what you mean!

I've done some scorewhoring with WWE Legends, and got Leisure Suit Larry arriving tomorrow

I've also finally played some of the Fallout 3 DLC: Broken Steel. Good fun so far although I think it's going to end up a bit short

I won't be grinding to get the level 30 achievements as I'll leave that for when the other DLC comes out.

Also just purchased Wallace and Gromit on the XBLA. I reviewed it for the PC and really enjoyed it a lot. It's good on the Xbox but the controls are a bit patchy. However for 800 points I'd strongly recommend it to point n click fans

I just finished Quantum of Solace. I stick by my original statement that it's "quite good". Glad i just rented it. I wouldn't have been too pleased if i bought it if i'm honest. Some driving levels would have been good, the opportunity was there for it. It also has two of the most vomit inducing levels i have ever came accross (the train level and when he's been drugged).

The storylines are also slightly different to the movies. Which is disappointing. Anyway, Saints Row 2 next.

I finished Alone in the Dark. It had been sat on my shelf unopened for 6 months and after accepting there would be no great patch I gave it a go and you know, under some awful design decisions and controls there's actually a pretty good game with some great graphics and a good story.

Also finished the drum career of GH: World Tour (so got 150 points for completing all 4 careers). As someone who used to play a little drums I'm enjoying the high-hat/ride positioning and for the most part the tracks made sense from a real-drum perspective. I think I'm done with music games now though until GH: Metallica or RB:2 are peanuts.

Bought Wallace & Gromit and loving it. I can understand where Haly et al. are coming from with the controls but tbh if you've not played it on PC and haven't played a PC point and click for a very long time I really found than more than adequate. Half way through act 3 as I'm playing it with my daughter and looking forward to finishing it and the next epidsodes.

Came back from Hull yesterday with Spider: Friend or Foe which I got as I wanted a quick something before Sacred 2 lands on Friday. Far more linear and button mashy than I expected but sometimes you need a but of mindless fun. I also picked up Surfs Up which I'm finding really good fun. Played some with the family yesterday and then found myself staying up until nearly midnight; which as I'd been up since 5 says something.

Haly · 01-06-2009, 10:49

Surf's Up is good fun, certainly one of the better Disney games

I liked Friend or Foe, it is linear and button mashy but it reminded me of the old school beat em up side scrollers so I enjoyed that aspect.

Been playing BioShock on hard going for the Brass Balls achievement, up to Hephaestus Core now, but I am REALLY struggling for ammo and I've had to simply skip the Big Daddy fights as he basically gets a scratch when I hit him with my best weapons!

Battlestations Pacific.

It's pretty good fun. Its more of a RTS game than an action game - although all the dogfighting is huge fun.
