Oh thaaat Robocop game. It is dreadful. Here's a helpful hint, the collision detection is so bad, you can rescue the hostages through walls (and, no, not in the cool "Robocop smash" way, more the "shoddy clipping" way).

Oh god that rollercoaster was HELL! The rest of the game was surprisingly good bar that.

Still on Goldeneye 64, doing the train mission on 00 Agent difficulty. I can barely make it to the room Natalia is held, let alone do it in 5 minutes for the cheat unlock. I probably wont even bother for the invincibility cheat on facility in 2 minutes.

I've been slowly starting Dragons Dogma for the 360. It seems pretty decent so far - good fighting system and a decent challenge what with you being quite weak at the beginning and even the weakest of enemies being an active threat. The nighttimes are also pretty dangerous, what with the complete lack of visibility outside of your lantern and a greater enemy presence.

Not much gaming lately.

Playing Tech Romancer for the DC mostly. I actually am playing this more than Jet Grind Radio, which I bought along with Tech Romancer a few weeks ago. Tech Romancer is nothing too sophisticated as a fighter, but it's just great fun. And very funny too. Old school mecha anime fans will love this.

I did play it on the PC years ago, and found the same things. Also, one of the missions objectives didn't appear, even after reloading, so I just wandered the map, shooting at stop signs and the like.

Anyways, recently I've found myself playing a lot of Red Dead Redemption on the 360. Have got to Mexico, and am doing a few side missions before venturing forth into new territory south. But, I'm enjoying ti a lot more than before, and am just taking in the Western atmosphere. Once this is finally done, I might even get around to finishing Undead Nightmare.

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (PSP)

I really need a daily fix of this game...it combines my love of the casual 'match 3' bejeweled type affair, with an RPG lite. It sounds like it shouldn't work....but it just does (for me, anyway). Cracking stuff. Have barely played anything else for weeks now.

Was playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on PS3 but gave it up as a bad job, 'cos it's basically a heavily censored, almost-exactly-the-same version of Gaiden 2 on the 360 (which I've just conquered), 'cept it has a bit more anti-aliasing and a few 'extras' to make up for the censorship (ie. some Hindu-style war god miniboss in stage 1, some mildly better lighting at points, and some other gubbins which I've not encountered in my briefish playsesh on it). I can already see that you only need to play through one version of this game, so I'm not gonna bother with this on the PS3, though it's still a great game, despite the (game-demeaning) censorship.

Bit of Fight Night Round 4 (360) now. Sick of playing games with a narrative to completion, just want some basic mash'n yo facialz-type action, repetitive sport 'em ups. ;)

Dragon Age 2 on xbox 360, which i'm loving at the moment

it's a bit easier than the first and is a bit different too, but the essence is the same and don't agree with some of the average reviews i've read

I can't. I'll have to play it until i've done everything.

If someone were to show you the knack you'd be astonished how easy it is. It's a fairly pointless cheat though; there are other cheats that are far more interesting. Donkey Kong + everyone has rocket launchers is awesome. Try "Facility" with that badboy combo kicked-in.

I spent a solid 3 hours with SFxT today, going through all of the tutorials, learning characters moves, etc etc. It's just not a fun game to play. It seems like you never get a chance to properly fight because there's constant character switching, pandora whatsits, charged ultras, cross assaults, etc etc etc etc etc.

The only way I can describe it is that it plays a LOT more like the hideous MVC3 that it does the sublime Tekken Tag. I can stand one or two rounds in local play but that's my limit.

Also been playing Mario Kart 64 & Double Dash. 64 is just gaming perfection, the course layouts are all so memorable and everything is just so playable! Double Dash on the other hand could have done with another 2/3 GP cups to have fatten it out.
