Just A Quickie

Just a quick update really.

It's been a hard week at work so I've been trying to relax with a few games, the main one being Saints Row 2 on the Xbox 360. It's essentially a homage to the GTA games and an alternative to GTA IV which I found a bit too realistic. SR2 puts the emphasis firmly on fun, everything you do is a bit silly and slapstick. I feel that I can actually do missions rather than getting flattened like in the GTA games.

The game may not look as funky as some recent games but it makes up for it with pure gameplay and pure enjoyment. It'll doubtless get frustrating later on but right now I'm loving it, albeit in small doses, although that's how I tend to play games these days, sadly.

Other than that there was a spot of Team Fortress 2 on the PC as well as the usual bout of Quake Live.
