I've been playing Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters on the PS1. It seems a half decent platformer except for the clunky controls. But I'm not sure if that's because of the controller. When I pulled down on the left analogue stick the character was walking really slowly but they were running in all other directions. That could just be the game, though.

I used to play that game with the autistic neighbor I used to baby sit. He was pretty good at it

I finally got around to buying a copy of crackdown, now all I gotta due is get half-life 2 out of the way, so I can start on crackdown.

If you want any help or want to play online let me know. Crackdown is my favorite 360 game.

I've still got to get back to finishing Crackdown as well.  But I've got to get Bioshock out of the way first.

I need to get Crackdown back from my cousin.

Hopefully I'll finish half-life 2 this weekend.  Then it's on to crackdown and bioshock

Currently playing:

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PS1)

Trying to complete this game. The first levels are very easy, but now that I'm in world 3 it's finally starting to get a bit harder.

Played Mickey Mousecapade and MetalStorm for the NES today. I gotta say I really like MetalStorm.

I was trying to take screenshots for Tomb Raider: Chronicles on the PS1 last night. Oh, Christ. I couldn't even get past the first room because the controls are so damned awful. I spent 25 minutes trying to get past a single gap but kept falling and having to start again.

I also got to the final boss in Empire of Steel on the Mega Drive again. I love this game. It has interesting graphics, unlike a lot of generic space shootemups. It has multiple layers for the baclground, moving at different speeds to give a sense of perspective. The music is very suitable for each stage.

I really wish I could write a review for Empire of Steel but I can't think of what I would say. And I can't write a review on Tomb Raider: Chronicles because there's nothing to review.

Chronicles was a million times easier that Tomb Raider III. In III the average level took probably six hours of following a strategy guide.

Finished Bioshock today! Outstanding game!

Played Lunar Knights for the DS for about an hour tonight. Decent little action/adventure.

I remember spending £45 on Tomb Raider 3 when it first came out then I couldn't even get past the first level and traded it in a few years later for £3. I'll give Chronicles another go later.

We've been playing a lot of Smash Brothers Melee. It's pretty awesome considering I dominate pretty much every match with any character I play as.

I started Viva Pinata at about 4:30pm. Suddenly three and a half hours have passed with a 20 minute break for dinner.

^ That game is addicting.

I've been playing alot of Overlord lately.

Pick up Metroid a bit ago, I put it down for far too long. I'm at the end, I just keep dieing at Mother Brain.
