Besides hitting 94k tonight ( Creature), I also spent a few hours with Dragon Age.....I can feel an addiction looming
Hopefully if it keeps this up, I'll finally have an RPG I'm hooked on! Having said that, I have read some average reviews for it and I can see why. It's been hyped up too much and the 360 version really isn't impressive graphically, nor will it be converting anyone to the genre. However as a fan of the Baldurs Gate series, I feel right at home here despite its niggles.

Been playing Sacred 2 quite a bit, and I don't really feel the same connection I have with other rpgs like it. It's a great game, very deep and a huge amount to do, but it's not feeling like it's sucked me it yet. 6 hours of play time suggests otherwise, but the good thing is that I know I can turn it off, not play it for a little while, then decide to just play it again as there's no collection achievements, yay!
Might see what Dragon Age is like too, suggested to Abooie last night about a race to 1k a game, and that was his suggestion, can't possibly think why though =/

Just started Dragon Age which i have very high hopes for; could this be the next Baldur's Gate that i've been waiting a decade for? I hope so but it's early yet so time will tell.
I'm also still dabbling in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, i've just started my runthrough on the highest difficulty and if i'm honest i'm struggling somewhat, great fun though. I assumed it would be easier than it is because i managed the difficulty below it without ever even needing to buy an item from the store, i think i'll need to buy quite a few now. I'm also still playing Uncharted 2 multiplayer which is frankly the best online experience i've had on a console. Coop survival is just fantastic.

Nokkon telling me to 1k RRXX got me intruiged as to how high my game time is in it now, as I now have 250 points in it. The answer? Just under 60 hours. I've put less time into Lost Odyessey for a higher points return. Quite mad really.

I bought Lost and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts yesterday as they were cheap.
Think I'm about half way through Lost. It seems alright. Nothing special but not terrible. Banjo is ok too but I definatly preferred the older games. I miss the Talon Trot Also, I got Infinite Undiscovery. I like it. Was very slow to start off with but I'm glad I stuck with it and now I'm really enjoying it. |

Currently playing through quite a lot!
Xbox360: Halo 3: ODST Forza Motorsport 3 Playstation 3: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Nintendo DS Lite: Professor Layton and the Curious Village iPod Touch: Doodle Jump I finally busted out the Nintendo DS Lite after around 18 months of no use after finally getting my hands on Professor Layton and I totally forgot what a fantastic little console it is and the game is absolutely superb. It's been brilliantly advertised and all kids should play it (and adults too!) As for the iPod Touch, if you have one, or an iPhone, then get Doodle Jump, it's so good and for the price (59p) you really should pick it up. As for the PS3, it's still only 1 game, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, which is really good, but I do struggle to play it for extended sessions. I'm not up to Chapter 20 so not much to go. I may have possibly enjoyed it more had I not started out straight away on Hard, but a challenge is always good. It does some stuff so very, very well, but the gun play is still poor and that's the one thing that needed changing most from the first. On Xbox360 I've been playing Forza Motorsport 3 which is quite simply stunning. It's a total dream for anyone who loves racing games and features 3 of my favourite new race tracks to a game as well as some of the older gems like the Nurburgring, Laguna Seca and Maple Valley. It's just brilliant, both online and offline. In the online it's really nice to get a game where, if the host drops, hosting automatically swaps to the next, most capable player, so it might as well be dedicated. Single player has a brilliant tier and level progression, something I felt was lacking in Need for Speed: Shift and Gran Turismo. I've also been playing Halo 3: ODST where, after my friend came to stay over with his Xbox360, we opted to get all the audio files, ended up completing the game again and I've gone to get all the other achievements and tomorrow I'm trying to get the Vidmaster Endure challenge with some friends. I'll also be going through some other things with some people from here if they need it. This is such a brilliant game, easily the best since the first game and my definite game of the year so far and can only see Modern Warfare 2 as a potential challenge to that. |

Besides a fair amount of Dragon Age: Origins, I've been sent a copy of Borderlands to review.
I'd not paid any attention to Borderlands before and admittedly I assumed it was some multiplayer only game so I didn't bother looking much at it. However, although I've only played it for a couple of hours, I'm really enjoying it so far As to why, well that's harder to describe I know it's really just a generic FPS with some basic RPG elements to it but it's still drawn me in. Wondering if it's the old MMO feel to it, the urge to grind levels as it's all quite mindless but still satisfying. Not tried it online or in co-op yet but I'm assuming it's great fun alongside a friend so I'll have to do that soon. It's going to be an interesting one to review!
