Managed to get a few hours of Last Story in this weekend which was pleasing.

Just over 20 hours in and have just finished the sewer section.

Been playing Worms Armageddon on PC today online with 4 players. Only looked at my watch once to notice that 4 hours had flown by :roll:

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!


Ha ha that one takes a while, it gets much easier when you unlock the skill in each character where you can map them to a different fighting styles to get those much needed kills!

Played quite a bit of Twinkle Star Sprites even though the deadline for the RG highscore challenge had finished. Found out how to unlock the boss characters - had fun playing as Mevious and Sprites. But it'll be a looong time before I play this sucker again!

Also continued my Dead Nation playthrough, haven't played this game for about 6 months but I'm really enjoying getting back to the game. I really need to finish Alien Breed part 2 and 3.

This weekend I got fed up with Mass Effect 2, so played a bit of Bikini Samurai Squad, then fancied some shooting action so had another try at Bulletstorm before going back to ME2 again.

15 hours into Mass Effect 3, it's pretty much the best video game I've ever played.

Though if there's one thing this game has taught me its that given the choice of multiple women, I'm utterly indecisive :lol: oops...

Also! The whole 'FIGHT FOR EARTH' on the back of the case is a tad misleading, seeing as you're only on earth for about 5 minutes

Star Wars : Force Unleashed.(PSP)

Part of my backlog from the GAME sales. Not a Star Wars fan by any stretch but not bad so far - bit like a futuristic God of War. Though the force moves just seem like a cheap carte blanche , cover all circumstances kind of thing which can make melee combat a bit cheap - needs more close range stuff.

Bit of Gran Turismo 3 on PS2, seeing as I just picked up a copy from GAME for a mere 33p. Still a ruddy impressive-looking game, and still beautifully playable, makes you realise how little these types of game have truly advanced in the last decade. Also managed to get it looking spiffy on my Sammy LCD, it looks absolutely knockout, think I'm finally mastering the art of PS2 calibration on these things at long last(!) :D

The above and Singularity (PS3), which I'll be continuing later, bit like COD mixed with Bioshock, though I wish it were a pure Bioshock clone as the setting is so damn well-realised and atmospheric, seems a shame not to be able to backtrack and explore the place properly. :(
