The gaming diary

I started playing Gears of War again on Hardcore difficulty. I'm at a section where each time I die I have to put up with a long cutscene before I can get back into the action. Kind of annoying.

I've also been messing with my PC again. I found a benchmark test in the Crysis demo, or rather, I found someone who found a benchmark. So after I overclocked my PC I got about 10 seconds off both CPU and GPU benchmarks. One was 100s to 90s and the other was a bit lower than that.

Sadly enough, I think your right. I don't ever remember beating it as a kid. At least I don't think so.

OHHH haha.   Ya, I hard a hard time beating it as a kid too, but once I finally did, it became a breeze.  I can totally own SMB 2 at will now.

Played more GH3 on the 360, some Bomberman Live, and a bunch of demos.

Thrillville-Off the Rails: Seems to be a pretty comprehensive sim. I just didn't have the patience to get into it.

Switchball: Cool, creative puzzle game. Neat concept. Great art design and atmospheric music. Recommended.

Smackdown Vs Raw 2008: Controls seem clunky. Had a tough time getting into the flow of the game, but then again I haven't played any fighter-style games in awhile.

Two Worlds: Seems to be a good-sized RPG along the likes of Elder Scrolls-Oblivion. Graphics and controls were ok. Seems like there's a lot of customization along the lines of items, weapons, etc., which is cool, but I'll stick with Oblivion for now.

Conan: The graphics are nothing special, but the gameplay was pretty smooth...and MANY decapitations! Overall it was better than I expected. No camera control, though, since the right stick is used for evasive rolls, but it didn't seem to be an issue. Might be good as a bargain title purchase.

Freedom Fighters ... I love this game.
