What Have You Played This Week?

i haven't played much this week, working on the site has kept me pretty busy this week. But I was able to get through SOS which is a relief....wonder what swapgame is going to send me next.

Football Manager 09 – PC – 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 Escape – PS2 – Finished. A little embarrassed by how long it took me to get through it, compared to the actual game time it took, but like I said before, whilst the story is good...the gameplay sure makes it hard to play it...or at least make it welcoming. But it's done. It was a good end to the story, a few twists which was nice. Looking back on it, the lack of music probably was an attempt to make it authentic, the same with the time it takes to play the game as you mostly go from start to finish like you would've in real life. Still, they could've made the sounds of the environment much better. Is it worth playing...probably not. If you want a good story and can live with poor gameplay mechanics and such...then go for it. But for a casual player, I wouldn't recommend it.

Fat Princess – PS3 – just the odd couple of games played. Noticed how I seem to be coming out top a lot. Am I that good, or are the people i'm playing against that bad?
