The gaming diary

[nupoile]

I've been playing Pokemon Crystal Version on the Game Boy Color. I know almost nothing about Pokemon. This is the first Pokemon game I've ever played. The only reason I have this game is that my mom found it somewhere and gave it to me. I feel weird admitting to playing this....it's a good game though. I'm about 5 hours into it.

I started playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution. The graphics are decent but they look a little old already. They're detailed but don't quite look right. It's not just my laptop because the screenshots I've seen online have been the same. Maybe it's the lighting. I've seen some games that look fantastic with all the lighting effects on but if you turn them off they look like graphics from 2001.
ately.

Sounds like when doom 3 was released and someone got it running on a SLI Voodoo 2 , also what are the specs on you laptop I was looking at getting Deus ex, but wasn't sure if it would run on my old athlon x2 4600/8800gt PC.

I did think of Doom 3 a little. There's plenty of detail and it looks good but it's a little too crisp. Maybe I've just got so used to bloom and glare.

My laptop is an i5 around 2.5GHz with a 525m GPU.

Redbox has free one day rentals until the 8th, so I rented Uncharted 3.  It is similar to the other two in terms of gameplay, but the visuals have been stepped up again.

From what i hear it was great. It was before i flew down.

Finally beat Xenoblade. If you've got a Wii its money well spent. I got 178 hours out of it.

Finished Orbital (WP7)

Got to spend a little time with Street Fighter X Tekken. It's a tricky new system, especially with the Tekken characters, but it looks like a blast to learn.Can't wait to really dive into it tomorrow!

I'm getting into Deus Ex: HR now. I need to sort my mouse out, though. It doesn't work well on beds or chair arms.

Still minecraft. I've got a nice little setup going: http://s266.photobucket.c...shobonimaster/Minecraft1/

Been working through arcade games on the Namco Museum Virtual Collection.
Finally got the Perfection achievement in Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-man ate the last few fruits i needed and got the Dig achievement in Dig Dug.

Going to give New Rally-X a shot now.

EDIT
Stupid easy.
Finished it.

Moving on to Xevious which i think is going to be the biggest challenge since i still needed the most achievements.
