What are you playing at the moment? - Page 73

Jen - absolutely, I enjoyed it for the most part. A few annoying bits here and there combat wise, but an enjoyable storyline, especially if like me you're a fan of Greek mythology.

And The Godfather is great, I've still got my copy as I always mean to go back to it and finish it off, especially with the sequel due this year.

I'll keep an eye out for Rise of the Argonauts then

Pity work haven't got it. But next time round when I sign up with Lovefilm again, I'll stick it on the list. Looks good fun and I love Greek Mythology

Played a bit of The Godfather earlier just to try it out/check the disc works. Looks good to me

If I'm still enjoying it when my rental's up, might see if I can find it for less than £10 in Game as I've still got a gift card from there.

Got golden compass on rental today, truely woeful. Not even good enough to whore points from. An autosave that throws up 'checkpoint' nut doesn't actually save til you finish a whole chapter. Twice I went back to the game today to find it wasn't saving.

Back in the post.

The save system is appalling on Golden Compass. But it wasn't so terrible for me that I didn't complete it.
It is pretty bad though

I was considering The Golden Compass as I'd enjoyed Spiderwick Chronicles... think I might give it a wide berth now.

I did the first two levels of Quantum of Solace earlier and really enjoyed it. To all those that recommended it, ta!

I also sullied my gamer profile earlier with Avatar... It popped through the door while I playing with my little girl; I stuck it in, got all 1k and stuck it back in the envelope and went out to post it back (I have a post box outside my house). The postie was still only about 8 houses futher along... lol.

Avatar is ridiculously fast to 1k. I did the same as you, it was back in the post within about 5mins of arriving.

QoS is excellent fun

if you ever want a go at the MP, let me know as I've still got my copy

I don't know how you managed it. For me it's right up there with Jumper as the worst game to have graced my 360.

One of my mates is a total score whore, worse than anyone on here, he even checks wyrdo's profile for hints on easy 1k's to rent. I phoned him up as soon as I took the game out of the drive and the first thing I said as he picked up the phone was "how the **** did you play through that ****"

For once even he couldn't justify the 700 points he got from it.

Every year around this time I go on a bit of a rental whoring session. I run into a game like Golden Compass and I have to question why the hell I'm wasting gaming hours with some load of old pap when I have a shelf half full of excellent MP games that I should be playing.

That number is a weird thing, If it had been trophys only and just a achievement picture I doubt anyone would have bothered much.

NokkonWud · 13-02-2009, 14:38

It's a weird thing really Danny, but no doubt genius from Microsoft to do so.

Jumper was poor, but there are much worse games on the Xbox360, Xmen 3 for one.
