The Dirt Showdown demo also has a bug related to that where you can't actually reverse either :/ Pretty shoddy really. No manual gears in the full game either apparently....which sucks for anyone that usually chooses them.

Finished Prototype 2 and loved it. Just need to go back and mop up a couple of achievements. One thing though - that fucking camera. What were they thinking having it swaying around all the time like that? Amazingly it didn't give me motion sickness - which I sometimes get with any fast moving games. The mind boggles as to how they thought it was a good option for the game.

I'm now contemplating buying ICO/Shadow of the Colossus on the PS3. Picked up some cheap points thanks to people having gone mental buying them up at GAME :) Just not sure I'll actually stick with the games, having played through them before. But they do look tempting.

Have been loving Ico/SOTC again retro - still looks lovely now in HD. Controls are bloody hideous though!

Played through the Journey last week - tres expensive, £10 for 3 hours, but what a three hours it is! Truely a stunning and beautiful game.

Has taken me 15 odd hours to click with it, but finally working my way through AC Reverlations. Loved the other games but this one has taken me a while to get into. Just took a while to get going I think.

And if I may say so, what a charming smashing blouse you've got on

Ridge Racer Unbounded

What a fucking terrible excuse for a racer.

Even taking into account the fact that you have to, effectively, hold down a handbrake button ALL THE WAY ROUND A CORNER in order to drift (hate drifting in racing games anyway, but there you go), the thing that REALLY kills it is some truly bizarro "gimbalized" steering and completely arbitary destructible/indestructible scenery choices.

The drifting thing is kinda left for you to discover- if you do the usual drift mechanic of handbrake, turn, accelerate (with no more handbrake) it handles EVEN WORSERERERER.

Shit.

Before I start......you rented a game called Ridge Racer and you hate racing games with a drift mechanic?????????????? Dude are the old brains cells starting to go? :)

Bugbear should have stuck to the Flatout games though to be honest. The ones they have developed have been fantastic. Flatout coupled with their track building tech could have been something pretty special. Instead they did this half way house thing sadly.

It's a shame because the longevity of a game where decent custom tracks could be built would have been rather nice. I do like the presentation in this game though - especially how they deal with the HUD.

Yeah, well...those rental queues don't populate themselves, you know.

The drifting bit of it was really just the white dogshit icing on a cowpat cake (i'm posting whilst pooing - can you tell?)

Just an update.

Despite being not bad, some truly cuntish save points (ie not one after clearing a room of spawning assholes and mini bosses) has seen me sending back Syndicate.

Hmmmm....to be honest I breezed through Syndicate. Didn't find it difficult at all - apart from that twat you fight just before you board the train. But it did throw you back in right at the start of the fight.

I'm playing two meh-mungous titles at the mo: Max Payne 3 and Goldeneye Reloaded.

Max has lost his creepy, horror film/film noir aesthetic which made him stand out before, so now he's just like Kane & Lynch's extra mate (Kane, Payne & Lynch?) - a tubby middle-adged man in a sweaty locale.

And Goldeneye isn't offensive or anything, it's actually enjoyable...just incredibly meh.
