neverwinter isnt bad so far, i got to lvl 4 in about an hour of what seems to be an instanced section where your pretty much handheld through the basics of the controls(which im hoping will eventually be mappable to a controller as atm there all over the keyboard). Gonna play more later i think and see how much more stabby my rogue can get as i reach higher levels |

Just finished Bioshock Infinite. DO NOT play this on Hard - that final section was utterly unforgiving with an idea/controls that didn't seem to work sometimes  Sadly... I'm underwhelmed by this. Found the gunplay to be dull, and the whole thing just seemed to be at odds with itself. The whole racism angle was consistently smashed in your face with a sledgehammer and became annoying. The art of storytelling is to show, not tell. I think that misjudged ideal the game creators had forced far too many stilted moments. The whole thing descends into fetch quests far too often, giving us less time to appreciate the continuous momentum, and become diluted by the designers feeling like they're forcing you to 'see' the world in case you missed it. So, it's at odds with itself somewhat in many areas. I also saw the twist coming from miles away. Again. 5/10 |

Been playing the PS3 version of No More Heroes; it was a good game but for some reason I cant seem to get the DLC to work at all. I do have No More Heroes on the wii but it was killing my arm playing it that way ^_^;;
Currently I'm waiting for a copy of Uncharted Drake's Fortune to turn up; been meaning to play it for a while and I decided why not now so I ordered a copy from GAME last Monday. Still hasn't turned up yet (thanks GAME) but hopefully I can play it tomorrow.

because square are morons and tried to pull the old"not enough room on the disc" lie so westerners would have to put up with the (no doubt very expensive) dubbing lol

Started playing Don't Starve on Steam last night...
It's like Minecraft Survival Mode meets Tim Burton. Most Addictive.

Pokemon Diamond: Having never owned a portable Nintendo console, I broke down last week and got a 3DS XL so I had to get a Pokemon game so I got this, pretty fun even if they use the same structure as they did in Pokemon Red/Blue and Silver/Gold (which I've played using, *ahem* various means). Professor Layton and the Curious Village: I like it although to me, some of the hard puzzles are so easy that I can solve them in a few seconds and some of the easier ones I end up having to look online for the solution. I'm not a fan of the way that although you go around trying solve the mysteries of the place, there's no puzzles that directly relate to them. Just finished Bioshock Infinite.

The world looks nice and the voice acting is great but it still feels clunky to me when you need to do anything (a problem that I also had with the original Bioshock) and yes, predictable to the point where I guessed the general gist of the story within an hour.

Mass Effect3: so after watching Paragon Lost(which is a bloody good anime movie that was well worth the £4 i got it for on amazon) i decided it was time to finally start playing the game and wow it's alot more cinematic than the other 2 isnt it! not to happy that all the dlc is close to 2gig's per pack though but since im not sure anything besides leviathan and mayeb omega are worthwhile i may just play through without any and grab some on the second playthrough(i intend to replay the whole trilogy as a badass femshepard once im dont with my man shepard game) well unless anyone thinks i definitely should grab some of the dlc in which case let me know.
Im also still playing Guild Wars 2 and sorta playing Neverwinter but not as much as i was(it got boring).

My copy of Persona 4: Arena for the XBox360 FINALLY arrived yesterday, so I've been playing that.
It's a beat-em up with a proper storyline for each character in STORY MODE (including bad ends dependent on your choices, not on you winning the fights) and a storyline for each character in ARCADE MODE.
It's a 5 button control setup (LS to move and 'Burst', ABXY to perform combos) which is great for mash-fu and even better if you know the combos for your characters. I'm going to look at investing in a proper arcade pad for it as the controller is not designed for optimal smashage for me.
I've not used the on line features and haven't unlocked any additional characters,but the ones available from the start cater for a variety of play styles. The art is lovely, the story is well written. It does seem to be more VN that B'eU at points though,which can be a little on the dull side if you're in a smashy mood (but there are challenge modes and other non-plot setups to cater for that).
So far, I'd give it a 6/10

Fallout New Vegas - Replay due to messing up. Back to playing this again after completely messing the story up on my last game (need to remember to make additional saves every 3-5 hrs!!). On a side note.... Iv never noticed how serious the lag is untill now, although I would love to see what they can do for the next-gen Fallout as New Vegas looks stunning, even for a old game Anyways the start wasnt as fun as FO3, so il give it a 7/10 for the first 2-3 hrs |
