What have you been playing this week?

[Benji]

Good by me. Send me a message or something, I'll probably be on PS3 most of the day anyway.

[Benji]

So, I've been playing Enslaved. Good game. The story isn't quite what I'd hoped it might be considering the source material's reputation, but we all know how these things can get lost in translation. The game itself is pretty mindless fun. It's very generous platforming and simple battle system are actually really enjoyable once you get into the flow of it, and it mixes things up well. Currently half way through it (according to trophies) and will easily complete it by next weekend, depending how busy I am this week.

I've been trophy hunting this past week, trying to get 100% on Madden 11 and Assassin's Creed II.

Source material?

I have finished Dead Island and have gotten stuck right into Kingdoms of Amalur. It's lovely.

Journey to the West, I think. The same thing the first Dragonball was kind of based on. Kind of.

I've been playing Catherine. It's brilliant, but i find it awfully hard at times. That's not a bad thing except when you've hit retry about thirty times and are still stuck in the same fucking puzzle. Anyway, about half way through it as of now and trying to finish it soon, i'll probably try a second walkthrough right away to see how much it differs, i assume there's several endings from the looks of it?

8 endings.

Very good.

Good.

Sorta Good.

Full neutral

Semi-neutral

Sorta evil.

Evil.

Very evil.

But really...the Very good ending is just a longer version of the sorta good ending. Same goes for everything else.

[The Sandman]

Finally made it through the last part of the ice block nightmare, that was hard as hell to get through. Eight different endings? The way i've been playing i think mine will be somewhere between good and neutral, will see...

The Time Paradox acheivement on MGS3 is the best thing ever.

[Clawson]

Solid Snape from Lego: Harry Potter is still my favourite.

Just finished Enslaved. Great game. Massively disappointed that there's not going to be a sequel, but the story is a fantastic stand alone tale (the end took it from "kind of good, but something's missing" to "fantastic"), and the game was thoroughly fun throughout, with interesting characters, locales, and general gameplay.

Bouncing between Midnight Club LA (likely the only way I'll ever have a garage full of muscle cars), Madden 10 and Geometry Wars 2.

I will eventually pick up where I left off on Enslaved (like an hour in or something), but I actually like that there are games that are great stand alone titles and not everything has a sequel. I was perfectly happy with Metro 2033 being a one-off for example (until they announced Last Light for next year )

So, I've put 26 hours into Kingdom of Amalur thus far...I started it 1am Sunday morning >_>

[Benji]

Popped in Dragon Age: Origins last night to finish up a few random bits and bobs before Dragon Age 2. Forgot how fun wandering around slaying everything is. Should finish it up tonight and run through the additional quests that affect Dragon Age II before starting that.

[BuddyAwesome]

Just starting to get into Red Dead Redemption, and only done the first mission for the Marshall. I killed the outlaw, but the Marshall said he'd have preferred him alive... How do I bring them in without killing?

[Cheeky Hughes]

Tie them up with a lasso, and then put them on your horse to go back to the marshall.

[BuddyAwesome]

And how do I do that? Definitely a noob at this...

[Baddar]

I think you use the lasso as you would a gun, so L2 to aim, R2 to throw it. Once it wraps around the enemy, walk towards him and it'll tell you what to press to tie him up. It might be triangle.

[BuddyAwesome]

Thanks! Pretty sure you're going to murder me tomorrow if we play...
