How the hell do you manage that! you said in another thread you completed Skyrim as well lol.

Only been playing Skyrim this week, 60 hours in so far. Actually, I tell I lie, I played a little Gauntlet Legends on the N64 as well!

I've been lightly picking at COD in between stuff for a breather. Skyrim took most of my time whilst The Run was very short. I'm currently on Saints Row, lightly dabbled with Gears which has proven to be a slow burner and Hatsune and Mario I play on the bus to and from work

Just started XB360 Kameo: Elements of Power. Barring the usual feeble kiddy level excuse for a story it seems to be really rather good. Very Zelda-esque but with its own fairly original, certainly interesting and well designed combat/puzzle solving system.

I said it before, but I rate Kameo highly. Never understood the venom it received on release. I think people today would love for Rare to return to making games like that again.

Utterly addicted to Skyrim right now. I've been on a bit of a gaming hiatus recently due to university work, but Skyrim was always on the cards. I've not been this engrossed in a game since Oblivion. Games like Skyrim are a a great example of what the medium of videogames can provide that no other medium can.

There is some love for Kameo here then - good to know. I'd bet that if it had come out on the Gamecube as originally intended it would have been hailed as a classic. Also good to know there's still love for the old school Tomb Raider series too ^^^^^(TR2). I recently had the pleasure, 11+ years after my first playthrough of TR2 on PS and several replays since, of finally doing PC TR2/Golden Mask ie. TR2 with the PC only extra levels. Great game, great series of games.

COD MW 3 : Only MP, not started any of the campaign yet.

Battlefield 3 : Only Singleplayer so far, and it's not the best, I did enjoy being the gunner in the plane though, which alot of people thought it was rubbish.

Madden 12 : Still playing in the 4th String league, though with my favourite NFL team this season, so far I'm 7-7 with 2 games left, wondering whether to tank them for a higher draft pick, I'm on the cusp of making a wild card, but there is around 14 really awesome players in the Franchise draft and that's it.

Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure : Picked this up for 8 quid last week 2nd hand in Game. Tis a great little platform / puzzle game, with a very neat design. If you have a DS, see if you can find it.

Crysis : Game looks incredible on the 360, I have never had a PC that would ever run this, but the game runs smooth and it looks simply amazing on my tv. If you have never played the game, look for it to be on sale on PS3 or 360 and pick it up.

DiRT 3 : Played some Gymkhana stages, and well, they are rubbish, not fun at all, reminds me of some of the worst Kudos challenges you had in PGR series. Still loving the racing and rallying side of things though.

NFS The Run. Just got the last level to do which I'll try and finish in a minute, was just too damn tired last night after continually crashing into cars and trains!

Metal Gear Solid 3.
Finally completed what turned into a superb game after a shocking start. At first I found the controls to be clunky and the camera to be often unhelpful but it got better as I got better. The plot was mental and the end was indeed entertaining. I cannot decide if I would score it an 8 or a 9. So an 8.5 perhaps!

Borderlands - Saw that all the DLC was 400 points a pop last night so finally snapped them up (bar the Underdome one). Feels good to get back to one of my favourite games and have some fresh gameplay...and be collecting zombie brains.

Aion

I'm playing an MMO because I hate video games.

I've been revisiting Modern Warfare this week and spec ops on MW2. I cannot believe the annoying problems I found with MW carried over to MW2. I guess they'll be there in MW3. Anywho, I finally finished veteran on MW1 which was satisfying - some really really horrible bits in the campaign. My original score still stands. Just not right up my boulevard methinks but enjoyable enough.

I've gone back to Mushihime-sama Futari Black Label, but rather than just play Original mode, I've been playing Maniac and God modes as well. Actually enjoy the scoring system now - getting the big 30,000 signs on God is good fun. And Maniac plays much more fun that ver1.5 maniac. Still can't get very far on either mode though.

At the weekend I also strangely went back to Ketsui Death Label on the DS. Managed to make it to Doom on Death Label mode twice. Maybe someday I'll actually beat Death Label. I think a good bombing strategy is whats needed to make it there.

Uncharted 3. My first time with the series. Some good "wow" moments but no real incentive to go back and play it again. Value for money therefore is very low. 8/10. Hollwood blockbuster. Great to watch but not much to think about.

Driver:SF. Soulless. Completely soulless. I remember the original being such a blast. Always had me laughing. This one? Not sure what to make of it really. Looks like so many other open-world driving games. 6/10. Meh.

Been playing Super Mario 3D Land and really loving it, although I find I like to just play a couple of levels at a time. I think it's excellent though and one that gets better as it goes on.

Gave up on Aquaria for the moment because, while it's lovely, the boss battles just annoyed me. I have no patience for boss battles any more.

Also been playing Minecraft Pocket Edition on the iPad. I didn't really get into the whole Minecraft thing on PC. I bought it and then contantly found myself in Night Of The Living Dead scenarios where I was trapped in a crude house all night. And the crafting seemed overwhelming. On the Pocket edition, it is the bare bones alpha with just creation mode so bad in one sense. But the result is that the lack of stuff to play with made it much more accessible to me and I'm loving just building and digging. I have built a rubbish house, a rubbish tower but also now a pretty great underground section. Have this huge room underground that took me about four days to dig out. Found it oddly soothing.
