What Have You Played This Week?

Football Manager 09PC – Still going strong. I've been playing as San Marino, the club not the nation though they both do share the same name, location and stadium. It's interesting as I don't really try out the Italian leagues much.

SOS: the Final EscapePS2can't say i've played much more, I aim to finish it tonight though. Still no music, characters still walk awkwardly, and there are times when you don't know what your expected to do. But the story has had a few interesting twists, and already posed the question of, are you sure you need that. You see, the amount of things you can carry is limited, and the game makes sure there's more things available to be picked up that look like they could be helpful, than there is space.

Fat Princess – PS3 – still having fun, trying out many of the different hats. Finding I like the arrow man and the dark priest the most. Also noticed that there appears to be less connection issues and less lag now. Still, many games aren't being won by getting the princess and instead they're being counted down.

Pokèmon Diamond – DS – I did it, beat the elite 4. started collecting some of the rare Pokèmon which needs the Pokè Radar or a previous GBA game in the DS to get them.
