Feel a bit like a kid at Xmas though at the moment, lots of games to play (as you can see from the growing list on the left of my blog) and also online browsing to see about upgrading my PC which is long overdue as I am getting fed up with fighting with my current PC to run games that come out now.

Mass Effect 2 and Starcraft 2 are both new additions to the list, both of which I am looking forward to getting stuck into, could really do with finishing Red Dead Redemption before hand though… *sigh*

Just hope I can clear this lot before the busy run up to Xmas!

Or in my case, more than two.  I know I shouldn’t complain as its Summer now so games are going to dry up like the UK’s water supplies! but I also need to find the time to play all these good games

I am hoping I am near the end of Darksiders, although its an excellent game so in a way I hope I’m not! Super Mario Galaxy 2 is somehow even better than the first in the series and gives my Wii some love at last, luckily this is the sort of game where you can do the odd levels here and there around other things… like the washing up etc..

Still need to get back into Red Dead Redemption, but I now also have Crackdown 2 to play… after I started this up last night I can see my urge to chase after those green orbs returning!

This probably wasn’t the best time for me to try and get back into playing Eve Online then, I will try and juggle them all… somehow… god only knows how

Red Dead Redemption was keeping me pretty busy until Lovefilm sent me Darksiders… this was a title I didn’t know much about but had seen some good feedback on.  I started playing it and now can’t stop, it’s a really well made title.  Sort of a mix of God of War and a Zelda game, and it works really well…so much so I think its going to keep me off Red Dead until I have finished it.

Eve Online is also making a come back, or at least I am going to try and fit playing it into my schedule… not sure if it’s going to work but I hope so.  Problem is Crackdown 2 is out this week…

Doesn’t look like I missed much though, the best thing to come out of E3 would appear to be the new 3DS from Nintendo… 3D gaming on a handheld without the need for silly glasses? well done the Big N!

Been in too much pain to do much gaming, however I do now have Red Dead Redemption and Darksiders to play. Both of which look to be excellent games from brief plays of each so I am looking forward to getting stuck into each of them.

Played the demo of Crackdown 2 last night, was about as fun as the first game, maybe more so its a must buy for me in July when it comes out.

This week I am also excited as the new iPhone is launched, time for me to upgrade my now ageing 3G model for the new iPhone 4, although I have a feeling the stores will be packed with people trying to get their hands on them. I will brave the masses on Thursday!

I have been able to get bits and pieces played, Heavy Rain has been getting the most love so far.  Not usually one for the big mystery story, action, adventure type games but this has me pretty engrossed, even the girlfriend has been caught watching me play it. I think I know whodidit, looking forward to seeing if I am right!

Around Heavy Rain I have played a little of God of War 1, although not enough to really comment… Modnation Racers is coming along nicely although the career mode is insanely hard

Might pick up Red Dead Redemption at the weekend, although I should really finish the games I have already going on… tough choice that one…

Oh and the World Cup starts today, looking forward to watching it in HD this year!

Happy Friday people.

Well it has come around quickly as I expected but from Monday of next week I lose my internet and the flat move is a go.

Going to be a busy week, but once done I have the wait for ADSL to be installed. I have prepared for this, and now have the God of War Collection and Heavy Rain to playthrough.  I will hopefully also pick up Red Dead Redemption!  All of these should keep me going until I can get back online

I had really better start packing…

After 2 years I have finally gone back to playing Mass Effect on the 360 so that I can finish it and try out the sequel.  Maybe I am just rubbish at it but I seem to die like all the time?!  Oh well, I will stick at it as I do like the game. Much swearing will be happening that’s for sure!

I picked up the God of War collection for the PS3 at the weekend, the re-release of the PS2 classics God of War 1 and 2 for the PS3 is a must play for me before I move onto God of War 3 as I have never played them. However I will probably leave these until I move house and am without Internet for a few weeks.

2 weeks until moving week commences….. I should really start packing!

Bioshock 2 (360) – Still trying to plod along with this, its still not captured me like the first game has although it is getting better as I finally get more abilities.  The biggest gripe I have is that I am meant to be a Big Daddy yet I feel like a weed!!  May aswell kept you as a normal guy tbh.

Dragon Age Origins (PC) – Now this I am having fun with, once I got my head around the combat tactics and my merry band’s skills I am finding fights alot easier than before.  The game has alot of depth and the narrative is great, this is going to keep me going for a while to come I think. Shale the sarcastic golem I have on my team is always a good laugh.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PC) – Still playing the odd game, nearly rank 20 and have fully unlocked all assault and vehicle equipment. The other classes aren’t that far off.  Still fun for the odd games, starting to want more maps though and a decent server browser!!

Flat Hunting – This real life game isn’t quite as fun, places either are not big enough or too pricey or not available when we need it!  I shall win this if it kills me though, or I become homeless anyway *gulp* Still time though

However, I have been playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 probably a little too much so I have eased off on this and moved onto playing both Bioshock 2 on the 360 and gone back to Dragon Age Origins on the PC.  I got Dragon Age back in November of last year and started it then but then ended up side tracked with other games but I am glad I have gone back to it as I can see why people rate it so highly.  I can see this taking up alot of time!

I have only played a couple of hours at most of Bioshock 2 and I am a little unsure on this, I loved the first game but this one seems to be a little slow to get going and considering you play a Big Daddy this time you don’t really feel tough enough….

This week has had the following…

A well run team of Medic and an Assault (hi CrazyHippo) happily taking on a whole enemy team and winning, alot. These games of stompage also revealed my Medic is able to absorb an insane amount of damage! Me also finding out that Robotics are a fun class to play when played right.

Getting all my gear in order and loaded into my carrier in Eve Online so I can finally jump over to where my new corp is so I can get involved once again in playing Eve properly.

Realising that Uncharted 2 is one of the best made games I have played so far, I am looking forward to completing this!

Realising that playing a video game character in Ghostbusters the game might not be as fun as being a real Ghostbuster, but its close enough for now!

Hopefully this weekend I can pick up a copy of Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing and enjoy some good old fashioned kart racing on the 360 with the kids, watching them fight over being Sonic should be fun…
