Mario Tennis is now done. Hrm. It was alright, I guess.


Also, Redeye - what's the word on them CoDs.

And I have Minerva's Den unfinished...

Yeah, I had MW1 and MW2 in the attic. I have retrieved them from said attic and they are available for sale.

My work here is done.

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP Liked it. Weird, strangely beautiful, great soundtrack. The game constantly urging me to tweet got on my nerves, and the backtracking got a bit boring. But I seem to find the simple 2D look more immersive than a fancy big budget 3D game. If you like the look of the trailer and like adventure-puzzle games then I recommend it.

So I finished The Saboteur.

It was.....a game.

Poor decisions run through it like a river, the story is complete bobbins, you don't get to be a saboteur anywhere near enough. That said, there's still something inescapably enjoyable about shooting Nazi's in the face.

LA Noire last night. Excellent but I understand why people have a lot of hate for it

Excellent motion capture type thing. That's. About. It.

Boring Rockstar fetch quest balls. GTA gets away with it for its humour and radio stations.
Plus you can reload a save if you fuck up which ruins the game.

Binary Domain
Took me a while to get going with this, not sure what I expected - thought it would be more Gears of War than Mass Effect in terms of story / cutscenes etc. Know I messed up the first two chapters just by rushing through it. Then Cain arrived in chapter 3. 



He's a robot with a French accent, y'know, because. After this, Cain and I were inseparable. I didn't really give a toss what happened to the rest of my team as long as long as Cain was by my side, telling me my shooting was 'magnifique.' From thereon, Cain and I bossed it through the rest of the game, some RIDICULOUS boss fights that took 15 minutes plus, and some of the best shooting ever, because of destructible parts from the robot (shoot as many parts off before you kill them etc).  Fucking yas. I recommend everyone play this game just to see a Japanese take on Mass Effect, broken systems and all. 

Plus you can press LB then say 'fuck' into your headset and it understands you.

My game of the year so far.

I finished Uncharted 2 last night. Don't really know why in the end, didn't enjoy that much of it, story was kinda what kept me going.

Meh, gameplay wasn't very good, animation wasn't great either, vista's were pretty but you could hardly see them because there was always something that you really needed to shoot otherwise it'd shoot you. 
Overall the story didn't finish that nicely I thought, expected a bit more, with Chloe etc. Some funny jokes were made, but I still think Nate talks too much. Should really learn to shut his mouth when there's hardly anything to say. I also don't want him to tell me what I should be thinking at moments.
Hints were also hit and miss, sometimes it would hint me at something before I even had the chance to look around, other times it would take ages to lead me in the right direction.

Hammer/grenade launcher was a lot of fun though, specially as I had one in one of the last loads-of-enemies-thrown-at-you-so-we-can-extend-the-game-a-little encounters.

Cheated the last boss fight, looked up an easy way on youtube. Anyway, finished it, was short enough in the end.

Now, onto the Minerva's Den DLC (now that's been mentioned again) or Batman Arkham Asylum?

Regarding your last seven words Reg, are you serious? The demo was crap....

Never played the demo but I can say in the game the shooting was very satisfying and it mixed it up a lot and it ha A FUCKING FRENCH ROBOT.


It really is Nip Effect tho.

That says more about Twitter than it does the quality of the game Reg.

The popularity of Binary Domain on this here forum says a lot about this here forum's tastes.  I honestly don't know how some of you have the time to suffer that kind of shite and still get through more games, films, books, TV series, cooked meals, fitness regimes and, frankly, posts and threads on this forum than I'd ever manage.

This.

Reg has always had terrible taste though.

This alone puts me off the game.

Reminds me of Metal Arms, that was cool. You could destroy robots limbs but if say it was his gun arm he wouldn't stop shooting, the arm and gun would just drag along the floor firing in random directions.
