I'm playing both Dark Sector and Condemned 2 on my spanky new Elite - I'm playing em simultaneously as I only get 2 disks at home at a time with Love Film and I wanna get them done so I can get some Blu Rays through.

How on earth do you get so much time for gaming? :o

I'm lucky if I get 30 mins to an hour a couple of times a week. The rest of the time I'm third on the pecking order when they give out human rights in our house - just above the spiders in the garage and Baldrick. :(

Baby in bed by 7pm.

But then homework and reading with the boys.

Condemned 2: Bloodshot (360)

Enjoyed the first one and was hoping they hadn't gone too far with the makeover for the sequel.

Firstly the reworked Ethan character isn't quite as bad as I thought he would be. He doesn't have the same appeal as the tubby everyman from the first game but he works well enough. Slightly too much cursing to be convincing and the drinking aspect does feel a little tacky but for the most part its a success.

Combat is tricky to get to grips with but as you progress you get used to it. Blocking is a little strange at first but again it becomes more natural with time.

There are a couple of generic levels (Sadly including the finale) but the bulk of the game is satisfying enough to warrant a play if you take the ridiculous plot with a considerable handful of salt.

Condemned 2

Arrgh - I'm just playing through this in order to get it sent back to Love Film and finding it an absolute fucking trudge :(

There's a coupla shitty save point issues in there as well as the game itself being pretty damn bland.

Also, is this the tightest game ever in terms of Gamerpoints?

Nah, that's gotta be Guitar Hero 3 right?

Mario 64 DS
Picked this up to keep me entertained when I have a few mins for lunch in the office. It's cracking! Ashamed to say never played it first time round :sigh: but loving it on the DS! Controls are a bit shaky, but on the whole (it's hairy) its top notch.

Bit behind the times what with some other open world game out there, but I finally got 100% completion on Bully (360 version) last night.

Got very angry as the achievement didn't unlock at the time so I tried doing a few other things. Eventually I decided to try saving and rebooting the 360. Sure enough the achievement popped up just as my save file finished loading.

I wonder if there's an achievement for 100% in GTA4?

[respekt] for that, I was really enjoying Bully until IT arrived, and will defo go back to it - strange because I had a go at the PS2 or Xbox version before Ste or whoever had it, and wasn't impressed at all, maybe you have to get "in" to it... With the customisation options, my Jimmy now looks like a cross between Wayne Rooney and Vyvyan(?) from the Young Ones [nanananana]

Are you sure that shouldn't read Rockband, rockband. rockband ;) Every time I see you online it's all your are playing.

Can't blame you though, it's awesome. I'm just a little disappointed the guitar is harder than I imagined. I've got a screwed up left hand from a motorbike accident a few years back and I didn't imagine it would hold me back in this game as much as it has. Medium is a real struggle and there is no way I'll manage hard. Which means I'll have to cheat to get all the songs opened up.

Pity the drums are so noisy as well! My flat with it's wooden floors is like a fucking echo chamber. I am sure the neighbours are sick of Epic and The Hand That Feeds by now :)

I'm still playing and enjoying Lost Odyssey - I'm on disc 3 now but have stopped off to do some grinding to get all my characters up to Level 50. I never thought I'd enjoy spending so much time looking for random battles. :ph43r:

I stopped playing this really early in-when you're captured on that ship and have to get past all those roaming security eyeballs...keep getting caught at the same point (basically i don't know where else to go) and that brainwashed berk you get sent to right at the beginning kept grating. think i'll give it another go though.

Just trying to remember what you need to do. I don't remember finding that bit difficult at all...

You'll be making the same mistake that I made, a quite a few other people on the net. There is one section where there are 2 security eye things opposite each other and it looks like you need to run past them. But you don't! It's a dead end with nothing there.

It's in the room that has the long metal sceurity floor leading up into the screen and they are on the left hand side where there are some ladders.

If you ignore those 2 together and just pass the other eyes, it's really easy. I got stuck there for quite a while myself before trying something different and seeing I was doing it wrong.

Persevere, it's well worth it :)
