Castlevania:SOTN on 360 but "only" 198.6% so another 2.0% to go to get the 200.6% perfect score and the Gamer Achievement. That's the highest I've ever scored and I bought the game on PSX virtually on the day of release.

Megaman 9 for the Xbox 360. I finally got the last achievement (complete the game 5 times in 1 day). Now I've just got Protoman mode to get through.

Just clocked Mikie on the speccy

does that count?

I know there are a few hidden bonuses on this game (the first level if you `look` at the teachers book a very strange square design appears)

what are they all about??
Just scroll on down..its only me and no one cares what I say..I don't know why I post...I might delete this post

Finally got 200.6% on Castlevania:SOTN (XBLA)

A bit fiddly and arsey TBH - scratching around for the last couple of % was a process of poring over GIFs of maps online and trying to work out which bits were missing off my maps, especially irritating as you have to keep swopping between castles to see the appropiate map (normal or inverted). Beaten Dracula about 4 or 5 times this afternoon, waiting to see what the final score was then back to Gamefaqs to try and see what 0.2% I had missing.

I finished Brothers in Arms : Hells Highway the other day which I really enjoyed but it continues the latest trend in videogames

**SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED IT OR HAVEN'T PLAYED A NEW GAME IN THE LAST 3 YEARS**






After a very involving story line it greets you with "To be continued" well whoop de doo!
I blame Halo 2 for all this nonsense as since that came out every single developer has jumped on the "Why bother finishing our games when we can pump out a sequel within 2 years" bandwagon.

Finished off all 128 levels of Jetpac Refuelled earlier :D The ending wasn't great but had an amusing poem, much in the vein of what you get when you finish some of the older Ultimate games like Sabre Wulf.

Also had an epic point spamming session with it purely to get a decent rank on the leaderboard, and managed to get over 5000000 points so I'm happy. :D There's still nearly 40 people above me though....

I bought this Sunday for two reasons. Firstly, the third logo on the splash screen is a lovely old skool ULTIMATE PLAY THE GAME one. Big smile. Secondly the background story in the instructions is a direct lift from the original cassette insert. Bigger smile. I felt they deserved the 400 points for brightening up my Sunday afternoon so paid for the full version but not even sure I'll play it that much!

Completed Half Life 2 Episode 1 last week and currently about half way through Episode 2. I'm glad I didn't buy it separately as it only took just over 3 hours to complete.

Overall Episode 1 was good but I feel the set pieces lacked the punch of those in HL2. I also felt fairly restricted for the first part of the game thanks to the over reliance of the gravity gun. Its a great tool but sometimes I just want to use a gun or even the crowbar to kill something.

Really enjoying Episode 2 so far.

Metal Gear Solid 4 on Naked Normal level - It was one of my all time greatest gaming experiences, 21 hours of pure enjoyment and playing what has to be one of the greatest games ever.

Also completed Bionic Commando Rearmed on hard level for the first time (going through the levels). A very difficult challenge, but it was worth it! Great fun.

My next game to complete is GTA4, that starts tonight!

At the weekend I completed the game of finishing building my shed, and painting the baby's nursery.

This week I plan on playing the game of dealing with extreme shooting back pain from lifting stuff all weekend and crouching on the floor trying not to get paint on the skirting boards.

You should play it more...once you get 'into the zone' with it, you can last for ages and rack up massive scores. It's great, plus you also get the original Speccy version as a freebie :)

Finally managed to finish Tiny Toons on the Snes. I could never get past the American Football stage on it back in the day but I finally got round to trying it again. I still hate the stage but I did manage to finish the game this time round.
I have also managed to finish Final Doom on the PC. Chapters 1-3 were amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it, the 4th chapter was quite a pain in places but was also a blast to play. Next stop - Doom 2!
