Hello! Yes, I apologise for not being abot these past few months. If I did have an excuse it would be 'the summer' - it's really hard to sit in playing games when it is lovely and warm outside, plus I don't thing the 360 would have been able to cope.
September is here and with it the cooler weather and darker evenings. This will hopefully draw me back into playing more games.
I've not been totally absent from gaming though, what have I been playing?
Quake Live - really been getting into this, and despite my bitching and moaning earlier in the year I have to say I've improved a great deal. Not only can I die less than I frag but my accuracy has improved too. It is so convenient, I can jump into a game on an evening quickly and feel the rush.
Trials HD - I got hold of some cheapo MS moon-bucks and picked this up. It's basically Kikstart II for the Noughties with some excellent level design. I had the previous game in this series on the PC and couldn't even get past the tutorial, it was that rock-hard, but I'm glad to say this is much more approachable and very addictive.
Rainbow Six Vegas - the first one. I started playing this about a year ago but couldn't get on with it, but for some reason I thought I'd give it another go, and have found myself enjoying it much more. Yes, it is rock-hard and my crap eyesight isn't really ideal, seeing as you're mainly firing at bits of targets miles away. Picked up R6V2 recently and am hoping to do a bit of the Terrorist Hunt mode with that.
Team Fortress 2 - the Thursday games of this have moved from the 360 to the PC now. We all got fed up waiting for the much-needed update and jumped over to play on a hired server. It really is amazing stuff, simple as that really.
Anything else? Hmm, bits and bobs really, nothing worth going on about here.

Bah, I wish I could get onto Quake Live without so many sodding server errors; when it works, it's ace. Still miffed about them putting a bounce-pad in DM15 where you used to have to rocket-jump though. :P
ReplyDeleteI think they're trying to be more inclusive this time around. id don't want it to be for Quake III vets only. If this means a few concessions for us n00bs then so be it.
ReplyDeleteIf you really desire a 'proper' game of Quake III you can pick a copy up for next to nothing now, and there are plenty of servers still going.
Actually Q3 is now open-source, crikey.
