Not updated this in a while ... played some games ... real life ... not feeling it ... all the usual stuff I start a post here with, and now onto the games:
Bayonetta - I liked the look of this, totally over-the-top action, sexy lead character, what's not to like? Generally enjoyable yet I don't think I was playing it right. It took me just over 35 hours to complete which included going back to early parts of the game to make more money in order to buy items. Some parts had me tearing my hair out, but the ending was suitably satisfying - and the dance video at the end was well worth it! Your inept correspondent made things difficult for himself, I wouldn't blame the devs.
Burnout Dominator - it may be just a budget racer with the Burnout name on it, but it does what you want: fast exciting arcade racing with no pretentions. It's currently my Saturday night game of choice and is surprisingly playable after a couple of ciders.
Mass Effect - you cannot move for talk of Mass Effect 2 at the moment. Friends, podcasts, forums, it's almost impossible to avoid the major love for the game. "But you have to play Mass Effect first!" they all say before spoiling he sequel silly. So I bought a copy during the Steam sale, spent a week downloading 10gigabytes of game only to find the poxy thing didn't work. A trip to Amazon Marketplace got me a 360 copy to play, and I duly started a new game. It looks superb, lovely shiny 70s/80s SF setting, it really appealed and was good to see after all the Middle Earth rip-offing. The combat was lacklustre and frustrating although after knocking it down to Easy (which is a bit too easy) things progressed faster. The story seems okay thusfar. I'm told all the faults of Mass Effect are sorted in the sequel - they'd better be!
That's it really, other than more Quake Live (getting worse at it for some reason) and Team Fortress 2 (ditto, but it's still fun).
More next time.
