What Have You Played This Week?

Well I didn't end up playing Darkstalkers this week. It was a strange week for game playing, time went fast and I ended up playing very little. Bought a couple of new games, Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands in the sale for less than £9 and Little Big Planet 2!

Gran Turismo 5 – PS3 – I only got a little in this week. I mostly did some special events and spent a lot of money on a couple of cars.

Football Manager 2010 – PC – Juve Stabia is now in Seria B. I had a great second half of the season and got to the play offs. I've not bought much to the team as I have a few stand out players, instead I thinned out the youth team and some of the older players. I'll have a good look around Christmas for players.

Little Big Planet 2 – PS3 – I played the first game a lot and I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this game. I've only completed the first Larry part of the game but already i'm hooked. I like that the game imported all my Little Big Planet information and i'm back playing with my sackboy. The tutorials are still there but I walked past them cause I didn't need them. The grapple was handled great and the first set of levels are a lot of fun and very creative. I can't wait to play more

Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – Xbox 360 – I've enjoyed every Prince Of Persia game i've played to a degree. But when I saw this game in the sale for £8.99, I couldn't resist giving the game ago. I'm not too far in the game, avoiding spoilers i'll say i'm still in the castle with water powers. The game dives straight into the wall climbing with a useful tutorial and its easy to get a rythim going. The addition of water powers has been interesting and whilst as a mechanic it works...its just strange seeing water pipes where they don't look right. Overall its well worth what I spent.
