I got a message yesterday to say my preordered copy of Dead Rising II was being despatched, I forgot I'd ordered it to be honest and I don't have much time to play but actually this is probably the ultimate pick up and put down game so I might grab a few minutes here and there

For the past week or so I've been absolutely hammering Dead Rising, knocking off 2 of the last 4 achievements I had to get. I needed to get Saint (saving 50 survivors) and Transmissionary (answering all calls from Otis). I had a guide for getting Saint, and the guide said that if you followed it perfectly, stopping the main cases at the right point, you could save all the survivors and get all of Otis' calls in the same game. I followed the guide to the letter, saving every single survivor, only to find that the guide told me to stop the main storyline one case too early, so I missed one call from Otis. I ended up going through it again, and despite thinking it wasn't possible, I managed to save every survivor, defeat every psycho, solve every case, and answer every call in a single playthrough. Beyond the 5 and 7 day survivor achievements, I've done everything there is to do in the game, and I'll be leaving them for a while now, with Dead Rising 2 hopefully arriving today.

Also got a few review games to get through, with NHL 11 and RUSE waiting to be played, and Fifa 11 hopefully arriving in the next few days. A busy weekend ahead I think!

My copy of Dead Rising 2 has also dispatched - pre-ordered over a year ago for £25 at Lovefilm and was surprised when I got the confirmation email through yesterday. My credit card had expired in that time so had to update it!

Dead Rising 2 - that is all

Hope you're enjoying it

Somewhat bizarrely, the embargo for online reviews doesn't lift until tomorrow so I still can't say what I think despite people having copies arrive today

F1 2010, on PC as ever

I'm really enjoying it, have heard some negative stuff but I'm enjoying the racing, haven't encountered any bugs (so far), and find it sufficiently challenging without being annoying. Given all the horror stories I'd heard, it also runs well on my 3-year-old pooter.

Only just getting started, but it's bringing back memories
