What has everyone been playing this week?

[speedlolita]

I was looking at Ninja Blade last year when I was beating a ton of crappy games like Bullet Witch and X-Blades.

Might have to get it now you've said that.

I finished playing Oblivion and started Shivering Isles, but I felt like I was just playing for points, not fun. Life is too short for that malarkey!

Shivering Isles was probably my favourite part of Oblivion, to be honest.

Done everything in the pretty enjoyable PS2 Jak 3 I wanted to. Now moved on to XB360 Bioshock for the first time. So glad it is living up to the claims and my expectations haven't been disappointed.Only things I don't like are the unnecessary respawning enemies. I've always hated that - clear a room, go to another area, complete a task and when you come back that's triggered an illogical repopulation despite there being only one access route.The other negative is the occasional crudely enforced linearity created by artificially blocked off routes like stairs you aren't allowed to go up but can come down.The machine hacking puzzles I'm enjoying but I think their randomness on reset detracts from the puzzle element rather than adds.Apart from these minor gripes a hugely enjoyable game so far.

I'm only on the third chapter, but I'm guessing the story mode is basically a training mode of sorts for the Echos score attack. I'm going to have my work cut out on that, as one guy on my friends list has the overall Number 4 score on the first level

I guess you could look at it like that as Echoes only repeats certain sections of the game. It's pretty fun if you have someone to compare scores with although I wouldn't want to compete against someone as high ranking as your friend >_>

Added K0pp0 so maybe we could try out the multiplayer sometime as it's impossible to get far with randoms who don't use comms online. You get to do team based skill kills so it adds something new to the game

QC - Another hidden gem you have uncovered with Ninja Blade it seems...Seen it shops hundreds of times but always looked past it as I didn't know about it despite being a DMC/NG fan.

You hit a sailing wall?

I fed all the fish and got all the map pieces. That wasn't really that fun if I'm honest.

Great game though, my second favourite Zelda title.

Got sick of the sailing in the game and couldn't play it anymore. I think it is a solid game but it is easily my least fav in the franchise.

The weird thing is that I started that file when the game first came out around 9 years ago. I stopped playing it because I got bored with trying to find the triforce shards. I came back to it a few weeks ago and I decided just to try and get it done, it was actually easy though time consuming. Now i've completed it at last I would definitely go back to it and complete it again.

SSX and NG3. Checked Raptr and logged over 117hrs on KOA when I'd finished it, even had a 16hr sess!

[NoelEdwards]

I've been spending a bit more time on Syndicate, I'd not bothered with it much after picking it up due to the quality of the online games. Online seems to be more stable now but sadly the online community is very quiet.

Cool. I haven't picked up the DLC yet as waiting for a sale, but if it's required for MP shenanigans then I'll grab it

Dragon Age Origins - Sorted the Dwarves out although I can't get them to agree to

->Open Spoiler<-

come to the surface to fight

. Dunno if that's gonna make things tough later on.
The Witcher (the first game) - Just started this. Looks nice, good voice acting. Combat is unusual but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Had a week off work, was planning to play a whole bunch of stuff but just sank 50 hours into Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite instead, oops!

[Skull Commander]

Tiger Woods and Fifa all the way for me!

[Anpanman]

Usual stuff - GT5 then opened up one of my Christmas boxes and had a go at Demon's Souls for the first time and gave up after about twenty minutes - never to be played again.

GTA: Chinatown Wars on the iPad. I'm really quite enjoying firebombing clowns that won't pay their protection money and selling copious amount of Smack. Fantastic wholesome entertainment for all the family.
