Chapter 5-3 of Resi 4. That QTE knife fight with Krauser really is awesome, think that was the first time I made it through without dying. Ran into the lasers right after though.

Resi 4 Wii Edition finished. The epic fight with Krauser remains the toughest and one of the most memorable part of the game for me, would have been a nightmare without my levelled up Killer 7 . 

The game hasn't aged badly at all, it still plays great and while there's the odd dodgy camera moment when I couldn't see or hit enemies close in, these aren't common enough to be an issue. The Wii controls are certainly an improvement on the Gamecubes, using the Wiimote as a lightgun is always good fun and simply making a slashing movement with your hand to use the knife works a treat. 

Thoroughly enjoyed it overall, and looking forward to playing Ada's story in Separate Ways. And yes, a second full playthrough wont be far off.

Think I'm gonna give 5 another run through after Ada's story, I'll miss my lightgun though.

I enjoyed it for the most part, played a lot of local co-op with it which helps.

Killzone: Liberation. At the boss on chapter 5. Died once and put the psp into sleep mode as it needs a charge. Handy having sleep mode as I can keep re-trying the boss indefinitely without starting the level again.

Nice, I think it's the mansion from RE1?

Only problem is the netcode for RE5 is the worst thing that has ever existed ever.

I bought it at the start of the month and have completed it 3 times now. The second time round is great but the 3rd with the Chicago Typewriter was awesome

Seperate Ways is actually quite tough the first time round

Still a great game and the Wii controls mean it's the best version

Just started trying to get 5 stars on all the Mercenaries levels - did it on the Cube back in the day but not sure I've still got the requisitite skills

Village took me 5 or 6 goes with Leon and just the two with Ada

I have decided that I may have some of the skills after all. Unlocked Krauser and Hunk and got 5 stars with them both on the village first attempt

Krauser's bow makes it incredibly easy - well over 100k on the village with him

In fact there is only Leon that is rubbish on the Mercs - only just scraped 60k with him

Back to Dungeon Siege and having a hard time in the crypts.  Modified Automaton and Master Thief are hitting hard.  Going to visit the glitterdwelve (or something) instead and see if levelling up helps.

I'm playing on hardcore.

Dungeon Siege.  

Went to glitterdelve and made a bit more progress.  Similar difficulty to the crypts.  Bosses are still one-shotting me (or taking off 90% of my health in one hit).  

I had a look on gamefaqs and opinion seems to be that Hardcore is for ranged characters and that it is very hard mid-game onwards.


Will finish this part, and then consider turning difficulty down to normal if the crypts are still impossible.

im at academia 500x or something on ff13-2.
but decided to look for other stuff in it and level a bit.

So yeah,onto the game:
The first thing I'd like to point out to devs is that I don't want a button to control blinking,for you to make it necessary to blink or for that button to be clicking in a thumbstick!!
Movement seemed very clunky,not sure if this is by design (this is my first AITD) or because it's so old. Gameplay itself seemed slow and just plodding from one invisible switch to another,triggering a piece of the building collapsing to open the next route. 
All the way through the slow,uninspiring intro I could only think of The Darkness. A game I loved but felt AITD was never going to live up to. 
More plodding eventually led me to a car park where I got my first experience of the games disappointing driving controls. Hopefully I won't be spending too much time in a drivers seat. 
That was where I eventually left it,not convinced this was going to be a great game but I will persevere as I did buy this game and will try get my money's worth. At the same time though I hope the slow intro will only lead to something interesting as I get into the meat of the game.

I finished it. Ending is naff but... er, it is sometimes quite good. Not often, but sometimes. Probably not worth trying the driving bit though, it's utter shit.
