The Games we play...

OMG! New videos for ICO and Shadow of the Colossus HD...

The videos don't come close to doing the game justice when you're actually playing them...

My god. Youtube doesnt run on my phone browser. This is an astronomical cockblock.

Edit: De-cockbocked and Jizz, Jizz everwhere!
 
I've had a weekend of trying to play games, and succeeded!!!

Lots of Plants Vs Zombies for the family. I thought £12 was expensive for an old iPhone game, but it's really superb, so much to do, brilliant humour and the entire family plays it. Really excellent stuff, now MAKE IT CHEAPER!

Also spent some time with the free* Acroboatic Rocket Cars, which has a near vertical learning curve. Imagine Mario Kart, crossed with Football and with a twist of Pool chucked in for good measure. It's tough, but once it clicks, it's almost fun... Not quite, but almost...

Also from the "Sony need cheap and popular iPhone games to make them popular too" stable comes Jelly Car 2 which is a bit rubbish, but has amusing blobby/boinging noises and a car made of jelly, so it wins lots of points for being free* - hurrah.

I also grabbed Sega Rally Online which is Sega Rally... Erm, it's good for free* too :)

All are considerably better than the dull as dishwater, aggravating, dull, annoying, dull, frustrating and dull F1 2010, which loses huge numbers of points for not being free (even at £15 it was a bad buy).

Okay, I'm not an F1 fan, but I've enjoyed the open wheel cars in both Grid and GT5 (including the Ferrari F1 car in GT5). I don't know what the issue is (especially as I'm a fan of the Code Masters Ego racing games) but it was such a chore. You're constantly trying to work out how it's going to shaft you next so you can't win rather than concentrating on enjoying the racing (which is hard, because it's F1 anyway :p ).

I could see how it's possibly an F1 fan's greatest dream come true. The game is solid and stuff, but it's just boring and irritating to play. I traded it in for £14... I lament the loss of that £1... ;)

Finally, just saw this for Joey, who never reads this topic:

*Free for Playstation+ members anyway, which I think is most people for a little while longer yet.
 
Woohoo! Just had an invite to a Beta test for a game I've been looking forward to for ages. Will let you know how good the game is (and what it is) when the test is over and the game is due out. BOUNCE!
 
I doubt they're too worried, but Nintendo have slashed their profit forecast for this fiscal year by 82%, that's pretty whopping by all accounts.

The 3DS isn't selling as strongly as thought, so they're also knocking $80 (that'll be about £40 then :roll:) off the list price. That would bring it in line with "value" to be honest.

They're hardly going to struggle any time soon, but in a period that both MS and Sony are doing well in the console arena, it's not good.

Nobody playing anything at the moment?

It would if it was something new and interesting at a frequency of less than once every 5 minutes :p
 
FINE!

I bought SolaToRobo the other week, Its good but there aren't any hot sexy bricks in this anthropomorphic adventure. I also got Shadows of the Danmed, but I havent actually bought that yet. Also been playing the **** out of Child of Eden, obviously.

I want to get Catherine but I can't seem to import it anywhere and a friend of mine says that it's getting published over here but nothing official yet and next month Devil survivor overclock comes out so it's time for me to get 2 3DS'.

**** HAPPY?!
 
Nope, not happy :p

Did you play the Catherine Demo? Did my head in :lol:

I'm hoping for "Free Rez" with PS3 Child of Eden, but I'm happy with "Half the price of the 360 version". Comes out same weekend as Ico/SOTC! AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhh!

Maxi-Minor_Furie got Pokemon Black today for his birthday, so that's the last I'll see of my 3DS :(
 
Started playing Portal 2 to see what all the fuss is about. As expected, it's superbly presented, very chortlesome (it IS a word), but the same game mechanic I hate :lol:

Free 3ds games, for those who haven't heard.
 
I've done well getting free stuff out of console manufacturers this year :lol:
 
Played the Driver San Francisco demo at lunchtime. Pretty disappointed, but I don't know why I was really expecting much.

The game is oddly bland, much like previous incarnations. The car handling (that Driver is famous for) just isn't as exciting as GTA, but annoying for when you need it to be accurate. I need to play it more, but it doesn't quite work. The shifting part is essentially to let you do a GTA "get out of this car and into another one", only lightweight.

I've just been getting excited by the prospect of something a bit original, but it's a bit of a lame duck. I'm very tired though, so it may just be that making me look badly on it.

Got the Resistance 3 Beta to look forward to when I get home as well.

Then the new 3.70 PS3 firmware update gives me automatic cloud game saves and cloud trophies. So any game I play on my PS3, I can log in on any other PS3 and everything is there. This is actually excellent news - PS+ only. I just hope it's the final hurdle before we finally get cross game chat... That thing everyone on the 360 has been able to do for donkeys years...
 
My PS3's got the yellow light. Turn it on and ater about 3 seconds the light turns yellow for a split second then just goes red and flashes.
It's annoying as it's been working fine. I come back from holiday and it won't turn on.

I don't know what to do now as obviously it's got all my game saves and stuff on it and I changed my 40GB hard drive for a much bigger one as well.
 
I've been playing far too much Ultimate Team recently. Stupid FIFA. I also picked up Fallout: New Vegas on the cheap, despite having only played a couple of hours of Fallout 3.

Is it necessary to finish the third one to get full enjoyment from NV? Hmm.
