I've not posted in a wee while, mainly because I've not been playing much that has inspired me.
Since completing Resident Evil 5 I've been trying to upgrade weapons and all that malarky. I must have done something wrong because I'm the only person on the planet who has completed it yet not unlocked infinite ammo. It's things like this that make me wonder why I play games sometimes: you think you're doing really well then everyone else comes along and says "what, you didn't get this?" - frustrating.
Anyway, maybe one day the planets will allign and it will be available. You get points for completing chapters in the game, and I'm led to believe unlocking infinite ammo on a weapon costs 15,000 - I have 24,600 saved up, not bothering to unlock the figurines and all that crap, saving it for the good stuff.
Now going through it trying to find the medalions that apparently unlock more stuff, although thusfar it's just been more figures. They're not as noticeable as in Resident Evil 4, the blue used there you could see miles off.
Other games played recently include The Club, nearly unlocked all areas there, albeit on Casual, and Team Fortress 2, although when comparing world ranking with the Thursday night crowd I play with mine was embarrassingly low. I did play about 20 minutes of Trackmania United although it was 2.30am and I wasn't really feeling it.

Frustrating Isn't The Word
Finally!
Yes, somehow managed to get to the end of Resident Evil 5, and generally-speaking it was rather good, apart from the final encounter. I won't spoil it, suffice to say compared to the rest of the game it was awful. In the end my good friend Michelle agreed to join me in co-op to finish it off. Even that took several attempts as we battled not so much against the final enemy, more the baffling design that meant serious trial and error was called for. Not good.
It was blessed relief when the credits rolled. Going back to replay chapters in order to make money and upgrade my weapons, it just feels more relaxed, like I can stop stressing and just enjoy myself again.
I'm yet to try out Mercenary mode - basically an arcade-style game where you run through the various levels shooting baddies for a high score - but am told it bears a strong resembelnce to The Club, a game I did enjoy, at least until my 360 died with it in the drive.
So there you have it: two games completed in 2009! What will be next, I wonder?

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.
