I noticed you've been playing it, how are you finding it so far? I only made it to the camp in the swamp.

Finishing Overlord II up, wont 1k it as it isnt worth a second play through for ~50 points or so, and the multiplater is both rubbish and under populated, as the first one was. Dont know why they bothered really, it was the same in the first one.

Single plater shines though, great fun

I really must play Overlord 1 at some point, quite liked the demo but never got round to the full game.

I've just finished playing Disney's Up. Kids should like it, the fact a second player can drop in at any time is certainly handy for the younger gamer and their parent. It's not bad but the AI is a bit iffy so it made playing it single player rather frustrating. Usual Disney fodder really, easy for points too if that way inclined.
Oh and it's ridiculously short, only took me 3-4hrs at most to finish! Was going to pass it onto someone else to review but when it's that easy to finish, I might as well do it myself.

Also just started playing Halo:ODST again for reviewing, I won't go over my usual Halo feelings as everyone's probably bored of them

But I'm quite enjoying ODST so far, more my kind of story and I like feeling more vulnerable than the usual faceless (and I'd say dull) Master Chief.
Seems to be rather short though as far as I can tell, I'm halfway through it already and I've only played it a few hours!

I'm playing Fifa 10 the odd chance I do get to play anything these days. I just started the Be A Pro mode right away and chose Kenny (shockingly) as the name the commentators call out when I have the ball. 90% of the time Martin Tyler says Kenny but sometimes he says Paddy Kenny. I thought I was hearing things at first but no!

My pro is some junkie goalkeeper apparently

I not far off finished this too but found it really disappointing

Poor framerate, silly bosses, rubbish spells and frustrating sections involving minions (a certain lift stands out...)

Missed a dark cyrstal and the chance of a couple of achievments with mistresses but cba going back for another playthrough.

Some multi player boosting?

I'm trying to see if I can 100% The Force Unleashed before I trade it in. Stuck facing 4 Rancors and a load of plant type people

will give it another few goes before calling it quits.

This week I are been mostly playing - DiRT 2.
Need to wait til Thursday/Friday to get the last achievement before I can sell it.

It's above average, nothing special. It's better online than it is offline oddly enough. I don't think it honours Colin McRae well enough considering it's the first release since his passing.

I've mostly been playing Risen.

Now I've seen the screen shots vs the PC version and I know there's no comparison but I'm still really enjoying it. It doesn't actually look or play that bad; no worse than The Arganauts for example and better than Two Worlds. It's gritty with expletive language and drug references throughout and it really doesn'y hand hold. All conversation has been voice acted and despite a trite fantasy setting the script is full of subtle touches and a pleasant adult tone.

It was always a given I was going to enjoy it though wasn't it
