Put a lot more time into Street Fighter X Tekken and I'm actually enjoying it now . The bits that grate with me are still present (re-use of SFIV graphics, useless Pandora system etc.) but I'm enjoying it for what it is despite the game still not being quite what I was hoping.

I've been discovering the classic Tekken combos hidden away as what would be regular combos in Street Fighter so that's pretty cool. I've been playing a lot of Kazuya, Heihachi and Nina so despite the Capcom style, I'm still using the same characters that I do in Tekken . Also started using Poison who I quite like despite her pretty basic moveset.

Been having a go with the colour editor too after downloading the free expansions. Made Akuma glow a badass bright blue with a white gi/hair.

Some of the DLC costumes look mighty enticing but I don't want to feed the beast (Capcom) by buying them...ugh. I mean, they're only 79p each so I could just pick out the ones I really want but still...

Played Blood Will Tell on PS2 last night....

Not a bad game so far... Love all the different demons...and the fact you can look at them all closely in the Encyclopedia in the main menu! I reckon all games should have a gallery where you can look at the character models..or at least the ones where you only sometimes get a fleeting glimpse of the baddies...

[I found Toki's playthrough the toughest, his story is that short in terms of level length you really don't get much time or experience to unlock his other skill paths and the Roah battle is particularly tough. There's quite a bit or replaying levels needed to unlock his admittedly devistating later powers.

Yeah, i've heard Toki's playthrough is pretty tough from the get go. do you know if exp caries from character to character? That way I can play through other peoples stages and use the gained EXP on Toki.

Unfortunately each characters experience is tied to them individually, I would say however that challenge mode which is unlocked after completing the game as KEN is a great way to level up just because of the sheer amount of enemies thrown at you and experience you gain.

D'oh, there goes that plan! I'll be giving challenge mode a go this weekend then as it sounds fun. Plus I'm still trying to grind for the kills achievements anyway!

After playing WWF No Mercys storyline mode for a bit I remember why I never play story mode.

Ladder matches are annoying

Just played through The Walking Dead on XBLA....

Really good point-and-click style game, where the decisions you make have an effect on the way the game plays out...this is just Episode 1 and the others will be available for download later....

I'm currently glued to Reccetear: An Item Shop's Tale. Very addictive game with an absolutely brutal difficulty (80,000 in the third week, seriously?! D:)

Currently playing Hellbender on the PC. Finally got this working properly. Even using the same old Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro I used the first time round.

Tried out Hot Pixel on the PSP last night. Just a Warioware clone but less enjoyable and more frustrating. Made me laugh though when there was a microgame to do some sort of gangsta handshake and upon completing it, a voice goes "Yo! Wassup?"

Don't think I'll be playing it again though so it's another one for the (not literaly speaking of course) bin.

Also, more Street Fighter X Tekken. I got properly addicted to it yesterday which is a good sign and a welcome thing after my initial apathy towards the game. Had Ogre's remixed Tekken 3 theme in my head all bloody day now

Breath of Fire 3 on PS1.

I like the way the battles flow seamlessly from the area map and some of the spells and effects look great. The 2d sprites look fantastic too. I am finding it a bit slow however and the isometric camera is a pain inside buildings.

I got really far into that back in the day, really good game overall but I got stuck and not sure if I can stomach it now.

Colin Mcrae Dirt for the PC. Pretty much exactly what I hoped it would be, the main rallying races are still as good as ever and the other events (like Rallycross and Hill Climbs) add a bit of variety to game. The difficulty selection is also a welcome option, so I can alter it per race depending on the event or course. Its right up there with Rallysport 2 as one of my favourite rally games.

Pandora Tower now I'm just sticking to 1 game.. Also briefly played the Snes Choplifter 3 that Vulture gave me, and can't believe I missed that game first time atound

I’ve been playing a bit of this recently: 1983’s Congo Bongo by Sega. This was originally an arcade title, and I’ve read that there are a shed load of versions of this game for many of the various early console systems and 8-bit computers of the time. The version I’ve been attempting to tackle though is the one for Sega’s own SG-1000.



The protagonist has no attack moves, nor are there any weapons to use, so jumping to avoid enemies is the players only self defence. The jumping feels a little ropey, but it works well enough that you can easily plough through the level after a few practice shots to master the controls. The level is complete when the player reaches the top of the screen and catches the gorilla.

Playing Alex Kidd & the enchanted castle for megadrive. Love it, not as good as miracle world, but such a simple platformer with some great music ,vehicles and games like rock paper scissors. =)
