‘Splosion Man ‘n’ Swine Flu

Posted in Console Games, Uncategorized on July 22nd, 2009 by Scott

‘Splosion Man was released on XBLA today. Its a sidescroller where you control a “man” who “splodes”. Most of the buttons make you splode, which acts as a jump and an attack, if you havnt figured it out, splosion=explosion. It only costs 800ms points (about £7) but has 50 single player levels and multiplayer levels. Im not sure if multiplayer is co-op, or how levels differ, but the less than half of the single player ive played already is more than worth what ive paid for it. You should just watch this trailer, hosted by Giantbomb.com

There is also an amazing song in it, about donuts. He will also randomly say things almost incoherantly as you run around. Including “Get to the choppa”, plane noises while running with his arms out, monkey noises and insane laughing

Also, ive been ill, turns out its probably NOT swine flu, but needs to be treated the same just incase, so im quarantined in my home til friday. So, sods law, today i get a phone call about a job that starts tomorrow…

Oblivion

Old, i know, but still an amazing game, started playing it yet again. I own both the PC and 360 versions. I have all the expansions on the 360 version because thats the version i use to take it seriously, its too easy to fall into using console commands and modding the crap out of the game on the PC, so i use it just for that. So, this playthrough is gonna be on the 360.

I could carry on with these other saves, because (believe it or not) im not finished with them…

…but decided to start a new mage. Gone with an Altmer with the Mage sign and all the magic skills as major, probably not the best setup, some of the magic skills are so easy to level its not really worth having them as a major but meh, ill see how it goes.

sidenote: i really need to get a capture card so i can take screenshots/record videos on the xbox.

More gaming ‘n’ whatnot

Posted in Console Games, Music, PC Games on July 6th, 2009 by Scott

So, over the last month or so ive started playing WoW again, stopped playing WoW again and played Prototype (PC), Red Faction: Guerrilla (X360), Fallout 3 (PC) expansions/patches (or DLC as they like to call it these days), Americas Army 3 (PC), Sims 3 (PC), ArmA II (PC), Trine (PC), Overlord II (PC) and *shudder* Free Realms.

Free Realms was pretty bad, i decided to try it out because of all the publicity it was getting. Its an MMORPG, not really focused on fighting like most since its aimed at kids, one of the first skills i learned was about how to train a puppy. I guess, it is aimed at kids though, maybe if i was 6 years old again… one of my friends may have had a younger sister that might have enjoyed it…
