What Have You Played This Week?

So what have you been playing this week?

Killzone 2 - PS3 - i finally leveled up all the way. i haven't got all the medals yet, but it's great playing really long matches being able to try out all the different classes. still no played single player!

Football Manager 09 - PC - got AFC Wimbledon promoted from conference south to conference premier. still having fun, it's a great game to play in the background whilst doing other things.

Shadow Of The Colossus - PS2 - finally got a chance to play the PS2 classic, the must own game, and i'm not disappointed. the graphics are lush, the gameplay interesting, intuitive, and different. i'm enjoying playing something new and different, just a shame i couldn't play it when it came out.

not played much this week, been busy with other things, but looking forward to my 360 being returned, and resistance retribution finally being sent (thankyou play.com!)

Twitter Issues

Apologises for the lack of Twitter news yesterday.
i use a program called AlertThingy, it's a small program that has usually been reliable. however, yesterday it decided to play up and it now looks like the majority of the twitter messages i sent from it never made it.
i'll keep an eye on it today, and if there's problems with it i'll try another program to make sure the issues won't last for long.
if you've got a program you can recommend (it needs to be able to sent tweets and convert URL's, with a program like TinyUrl, into something much smaller) please leave a message in the comments

New Zero Puncuation this week...and he's gone for 50Cent!

What Have You Played This Week?

What have you guys/gals played this week?
Feel free to add your thought about it, like whether you enjoyed it, had a frustrating time, as it would be interesting to know. for example, this week i've played...

Killzone 2 – PS3-Still no touched the single player yet! I can't pry myself away from the multiplayer. Slowly moving up the ranks, still having fun. What's good is now, the people ranked highly are playing very well, the matches are hard/challenging and fun.

God Of War 2 – PS2/PS3 – Found a old save on my PS3, so thought i'd finish it. It is really tough, the save was near the end of the game. I admit I died repeatedly and in certain places I got really frustrated, but I was soo happy when I finished it. It still is good, looks good, plays brilliant...and a interesting story plot at the end. Really looking forward to the third one now.

Ratchet And Clank – PS2/PS3- I made some real progress until my PS3 was unable to load the save file. If I had to guess it is because the disc was used when I got it and that could have a bearing, still disappointed though. I was really enjoying the story and getting into it when it failed to load.

Football Manager 09 - PC- I've been playing these games since Championship Manager 3 and just have a love for them. I'm currently playing with AFC Wimbledon near the end of my first season, top of the league of course.

Noby Noby Boy – PS3 - I did my bit for Girl this week, as well as getting the final trophies for the game. My concern now is, without the goals of the trophies I don't really know what to do with it. The only thing left is to get girl to Mars, but I doubt i'll be playing it much more.

Peggle – Xbox360 – Yep, this is the game that broke my 360. I played maybe 5 minutes of a level before it all died. Annoyed at dead 360, annoyed that I can't play the game.

Unreal 3 – PS3 – I downloaded the massive patch for the game to see what changes had been made. I hadn't played it for ages, and I was impressed by how good it still looks and plays, I had some real fun playing it again. Hopefully I can get some online matches and get through the story again (trophies are not retrospective...got to do it all again)

My 360 Has Red Ringed!

Guess what happened when i tried to turn my 360 on today...
yep, i got the 3 red rings of death.

My 360's new graphic issue trick

The vid below is what i have taken of my 360 freezing on me, having a interesting graphic issue and now i'm scared to put it back on.



i blame Peggle, but in the end...i still win. i have a PS3!
