Weekend Blanks

Another weekend almost over, far too quickly as per usual. Wasn't the best for games, it has to be said. Not really felt it, the pull wasn't there. I can't put my finger on why.

What did I attempt to play?

Rock Band 2 - spent a few hours in Tour mode ploughing on through. Call me thick but I don't understand the setup, I much prefered the old Guitar Hero career, it was a list of songs, you played them, more came along, you played those. You didn't get all that nonsense about hiring staff or 'spice' like Quadruple Or Nothing.

Project Gotham Racing 4 - it's one of those games I can keep going back to for a quick burn, even though I'm shocking at racing games. It's so satisfying, at least when I'm not bouncing off the corners.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland - on the old Xbox, fancied some uncomplicated fun as I was downing a bottle of wine. Classic mode is still the best, throwing your boarder or skater or whatever about. Reminds me of a few years back when this sort of thing kept me rapt for hours.

Team Fortress 2 - on the PC this time, the game that keeps on giving. I put a few drum & bass mixes into Foobar2000, fired up TF2 and settled down for an hour or two. Next weekend I might just cut my losses and spend Saturday evening doing it, really go for it.

No great insights into the inept gamer this episode, I'm afraid. My twin brother is still here and it would be rude to spend more time than I do playing games.
