The gaming diary

Might finish up Rouge Trooper now(only have 1 stage left i believe).

If you enjoyed that game you should check out the comic. I read a lot of 2000AD when I was a kid, Judge Dredd, ABC Warriors, Strontium Dog, Robo-Hunter, Rogue Trooper, Nemesis.

Just thinking about those series make me want to go all nuts and buy every 2000ad issue i can find.

Started playing Manhunt. Seemed kinda boring and repetitive.

Cap, what's your take on Blue Dragon? I liked the demo, but haven't picked it up yet because I got Bioshock instead.

Played around with the Forge on Halo 3 last night.

The game is much like the demo. I like the battle system, and the ability to choose different sub classes for your "shadow". I am only about 2 hours into it, and I would be further along if I didn't watch every cut-scene.

The voice acting is pretty good, and the look of the game is very nice. I have heard that the game is pretty linear, with really no sub plots. But overall, everybody I have talked to, has liked the game.

Cool. Thanks. I'll keep it on the radar.

Played the demos for VF5 and Puzzle Quest last night. Also played Backgammon on Pogo with Sue.

VF5 seems pretty good. Very DOA-ish. Controls were very responsive as well. Seems to have a moderate learning curve, though. I'll definitely be getting this one eventually.

Puzzle Quest. Wow! This is definitely a diamond-in-the-rough game. Very impressed! They pulled off adding RPG elements to what is essentially Bejeweled. I sensed myself getting instantly addicted so I knew it was time to put the controller down.

Don't bother with the Fable 2 Developer's diary 3 video. Nothing new here but...developers. No game footage.

Started playing Morrowind again.

Yesterday:

• Bioshock
• Civilization 4

Today:

• Dynamite Headdy - Didn't really understand it
• Empire of Steel - One of my favourite Mega Drive games. Unfortunately I was doing well when the damn console got its controller problem. I don't know if it's my region mod or if it's just borked but it sometimes doesn't recognise 'B' and 'Start', and all I can do is unplug the controller and put it back in. That's kind of hard to do when there are bullets coming at me and the pause button isn't working.
• Metroid Fusion - Very fun.

Downloaded and started playing Bomberman Live! from XBLA. Cool party game!

Also downloaded the demo for WWF Smackdown vs Raw 2008 but didn't have time to try it out yet.

I downloaded the "new" demo of Folklore yesterday (1.3 gigs...) Also downloaded a new video for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Now that game is really looking great. Naughty Dog has a flawless track record, so I expect to it be great.

Speaking of Naughty Dog, I find it odd that both that company and Insomniac did a game different than what they usually do as their first PS3 game.

Also played some Warhawk with a few friends. Freakin fun game, but I suck at it, like most other shooters I've played multiplayer.

I'm still playing World of Warcraft.  I've been messing around with some alts lately, but I played my main character last night for the first time in a week for the Halloween events.  I got a new epic ring out of it too!

Thanks for the heads up but i was only able to kick trading cards(and replaced the habit with DVDs) in the last year so i don't want to start up on comics. lol

Beat Rouge Trooper.

Starting Futurama it should be a relatively quick romp.

Absolutely! We need more arcade games like this! That reminds me, anyone here try Every Extend Extra Extreme (a.k.a. E4)? I downloaded the demo for it, but forgot to play it.

I clicked the link but it means nothing to me since I have never played it. But good work anyways

Sony already dropped the price of that flop.
