What has everyone been playing this week?

Prototype 2 for me, not enjoying it as much as the first one though.

Still working my way through Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. I'm beginning to really enjoy it now, despite the sloth-paced start and the fact that not a lot actually happens. I have Dream Drop Distance 3DS here waiting to be played, and I need to get through this and Re:Coded before I can start.

Thoroughly enjoying the new HD/Fury expansion pack for WipEout 2048, despite the evident framerate and screen tearing problems. It does seem much easier than when I played them on the PS3, though this could be because of the craft I am using.

Me and my brother have been playing the Worms Reloaded demo recently - it is very good, if unambitious even for a Worms game. Hoping this appears on the Steam Summer Sale from this Thursday so we can pick this up cheap.

Gravity Rush
Good fun so far, see how it goes...

Lego Batman 2
More of the same but done well so good fun

The 3rd Birthday.
Back into the criminally underrated game. Still love it.

Erm.. Halo3:ODST, Half Life 2 for me and Surf's Up/Bolt with the nipper.

Seriously, if you haven't played ODST in 4 player co-op I'd recommend it.. First time I actually enjoyed playing the game. And I've fallen in love with Half Life 2 again, which means more cravings for the HL3/Episode 3..

Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (Vita).

Back into XI in a big way and I'm playing XIV so I can get my goobbue mount. I doubt I'll make it to level 30 before the patch hits.

After hearing everybody talking about Metal Gear Solid recently I decided to pop on Twin Snakes. Unfortunately I think my sneaking days are way behind me as in the very first area where you take control I got spotted super quick. When trying to run away I ended up crawling along the ground. Fail.

Treat it like Pacman I used to make my way up to the top corner box and hide till the lift arrived

Can you jump onto it without having played any of the parasite eve titles?

[nakamura]

Yeah you can as it has no direct relation to the story of other games. Plus it is an action game rather than an RPG. It is my fav title on the machine.

First up was Crisis Zone which is excellent fun. Nice visuals and it seems a decent sized story mode. Time Crisis 2 came next which is probably my fav game in the series. Good clean arcade shooting fun and the G-con is still great to use.

Next up I moved to the Wii and played Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles. After taking a while to get used to the frankly ****e Wii remote it was very good. You simply cannot aim down the sights though as it is nothing like a lightgun, you need to rely on the cursor.
Moved to Link's Crossbow Training lastly. Really is a great fun Point Blank style game. Only downside is that it only has 27 areas and really it needed at least double.

The controls in MGS have always been awkward and the camera deliberately unhelpful. But there are plenty of ways of getting through that first area using minimum stealth. Maybe not purist but you can choke knock out the guards very easiy. That allows you to make all the otherwise difficult pick-ups and get in the lift with very little hassle. I've not played the Twin Snakes version yet but if that has the VR Training missions they're great at getting you up to speed with the controls. IMHO they're the best designed element in the game. Same with MGS2.

Managed to complete Saints row the third - This game is ridiculously over the top.

I'm going to finish up as much of the side quest stuff as I can. In particular killing people with the penetrator after making them vomit with fart in a jar is going to be a highlight

I bought a couple of cheap kids games in the Xbox live sale a week or so back, so completed cloudy with a chance of a meat balls and have gotten half way through open season. Neither game is much good, with open season being very much a **** fest. I can only hack it for a couple of chapters at a time

Next on the list is probably going to be Max Payne 3, but I need to get round to finishing off Rayman Origins and also Bulletstorm which I am struggling with - I guess I don't have the reactions I once had /sad face

[gospvg]

Not really had time to play anything on the consoles. iOS only playing Carcassonne, Disc Drivin, Words with Friends, Tiny Tower, Hero Academy, Song Pop & Trivie.

[koopatroopa90]

Ahh another Carcassonne player! I'm pretty rubbish but really enjoy that game...
