Minecraft, 3 achievements off 100%, two of the achievements I've still to get rely on luck and another one "on a rail" requires huge amounts of resource to get. I will do it though!!

I still have the ride a pig, get some wolves and the On a Rail ones to do. I've started the rail one (and I've put down like 250+ rails in a straight line) but the Achievement hasn't popped yet. There's only so many resources I can find!!!




Edit: I just checked on youtube and - as each Minecraft block is counted as 1m x 1m square - you need a staggering FIVE HUNDRED RAILS in a straight line to pop the achievement!! What the censored?!?!

There's not that much ore in the level!

Those are the three I've got to get too:

Befriended one wolf

I haven't found a dungeon yet with a treasure chest in it

Yes mate I'm nowhere near the amount of iron or gold needed to create all those rails, in fact I've found more diamond in the game than gold!!

I think Max Payne 3 is absolutely brilliant. they couldnt have done a better job with it in my opinion.

The graphics are excellent, the story is good and the constant voice acting is really good.. Im glad you get the cutscenes constantly throughout play as it makes it different to the standard 3rd person shooters.. i.e. pissing around going up ladders and wasting time, whereby the cutscenes take care of bits like this while giving you more story.

It does seem like a proper follow up.. it reminded me of certain bits from the first two.

Finished the story over the weekend as I literally had Nothing to do all weekend..

Now into the multiplayer and it's awesome fun.. took a while to get into it.. I thought it was no Gears of War 3 .. but now its clicked and I love it.. the team deathmatch on huge levels is ace..

I cannot recommend this highly enough

9 / 10

Really enjoying Pikmin 2 on the Wii, I love the names they give everyday objects, from now on I'm going to refer to playing cards as "luck wafers".

Blimey...it must be brilliant!

I thought I'd almost finished Mass Effect 2 last night when suddenly a few more missions popped up. Nice.

Started 3D Classics Kid Icarus. It is hard as nails! took me forever to get past the first level! Really is brutal especially after playing Kirbys Adventure!

Brutal is the word! Worst bit is that you cant run through the first 4 levels as quick as possible because if you do you won't have good enough stats to level up enough to make it through the rest of the game! Once you beat the first dungeon though the game gets much much easier to the end. Just finished it last night.

Ive got a few games on the go atm, mostly 3DS. Am halfway through Dillons Rolling Western and still am stuck on Metriod 2. Got to finish Disaster Day of Crisis and The Conduit on Wii too.

Goldeneye on N64

Its strange playing this through legitmately. I recognise all the levels and missions but i when i was a kid we just used the Unlock Everything cheat. Doing it properly as an adult now!

Currently Cave Story 3D. I'm not buying any game until I finish my "immediate backlog" consisting of Samurai Warriors Chronicles (3DS), Pokémon Rumble Blast (3DS), Demon's Souls (PS3) and Kirby Mass Attack (DS). Which sucks because I really want to buy Mario Tennis Open.

Gonna hit up Vanquish and Alpha Protocol soon

I smahed into the Harry Potter games and traded most of them!

Already completed the first two on PS2 which were frankly terrible. The ideas were mostly fine but the actual programming was typically shoddy EA fare. Number 3, Azkaban seemed a lot better but as it was so similar to the first two I couldn't be bothered.

On to Goblet of Fire. Seems very much like the Lord of the Rings games but it is somehow worse. The LotR games were extremely mediocre but offered a good level of fun, Goblet is just terrible. You have little control over spells despite having so many and your ai mates simply do not collect blatant health powerups that are right in front of them. The pacing of the plot is all over the place. Again it has some good ideas but it is so badly executed it is a wonder if the developers really though, 'yeah we made a great game!'

Order next and finally they got it sort of right. Nothing ground breaking at all, feels like an action RPG but the world is very well made with reasonable visuals and decent pacing.

Half Blood now, last one on PS2. Again pretty fun, similar to Order.

So out of the 7 console HP games, only 2 are reasonable good.

I don't have much spare time for gaming this week because of work but dipping in and out of Game Room has made me redownload all my XBLA retro games for occasional goes. Dig Dug, Joust, Robotron, Gauntlet, Frogger, Galaga, Defender, Smash TV, Pacman. There's quite a lot of retro gaming on the 360.

Started on Robocop on PS2.

Level two was hard, got a feeling this games going to be challenging

I had Chamber of Secrets on the Gamecube and it was just very dull and boring. Philosopher's Stone was actually quite enjoyable on the PS1 (apart from that nightmare Gringotts Bank rollercoaster thing...grr...) and even better on the GBA.

Always avoided this as a PS2 mag gave it a sub-10% review score back in the day. Does it play alright, difficulty aside?

As for me, I've been making more solid progress on the N64 Paper Mario via the Virtual Console. Brilliant game and I've just reached the Boo mansion area after clearing the admittedly tedious desert section of the game.
