Chris!

It has been a while since I last posted. No good excuse for this, to be honest.

Anyway, spent most of last week and today playing Resident Evil 5, and pretty good it is too! I did play some RE4 on the PS2 but after leaving it too long between sessions I loaded my save and didn't know wha the hell I was doing. At the very least I knew what sort of gameplay to expect from the 'new' RE.

As I write I've just completed chapter 6-1, amazing really considering, as some may already know, I never complete games. Hopefully the last couple of chapters won't be too offputting, then I can add that to Gears Of War 2 for my list of completed games in 2009 - that's twice what I managed last year.

Generally the game has been very entertaining with a good variety of locations and enemies. Plenty of bosses to tackle, some better than others. Playing on Normal difficulty hasn't proved too tricky - yet. Hopefully it won't end up like Half-Life 2 Episode 2 where it was great until the final fight.

Other than that just more Team Fortress 2 - had my best round ever, scored 11 points as a Heavy, even came top of the board! Sadly this didn't last the whole session but it was a rush, to say the least - so easily pleased.

  1. Was wondering when you'd post again.

    Glad you've been having fun. I'm starting to unlock weapons on Resi now, to help me in the numerous replays I'll have to do ;)

    Let me know what you think about the final boss - I struggled to figure out what to do on co-op, could you let me know if its any in single player?

    Congrats again on Team Fortress 2 !

  2. Thanks, Mish. You will know how much of a so-and-so that final boss was. The first few attempts saw me get swept off the edge as I tried to look for a way out. AI Sheva wasn't bad but isn't good when she's in a pinch and I'm nowhere near. The furthest I got with her was actualy just before the checkpoint, if we'd walked another few feet up ...

  3. Argh, I really need to get hold of a copy of The Club sometime... *is poked by Michelle* ...uh, and a copy of Resi 5, of course...

  4. qazimod, The Club is good fun, there's no story to get in the way, it's pure arcade fun. Running through trying to keep that combo high, getting a top score, all the hidden targets and skullshots, it's an OCD gamer's heaven!

    It's a shame so few games have a score these days.
