What Have You Played This Week?

Unfortunately, I Didn't play many games this week. I put a lot of work into Okami, hoping to finish the game, and didn't have much time for other games.

Football Manager 10 – PC – thought I would have a go with another team. I'm now Annan and making my way through the first season.

Okami – Wii – I put a lot of hours in to try and complete the game. In the end, I thought I had finished the game but it turned out it was just the beginning. This main part of the story was told very well and i'm interested to see how they've managed to drag out the story into something bigger. I wonder how much longer it will take as i'm already 20 hours into the game. Despite this, the game is still a must play. I am enjoying every minute of the game, from the graphics, the story, the music, even the controls have become much easier to use with time.

Sonic & Sega All Star Racing – PS3 – Demo – i've been interested in this game since it was announced and i've been looking forward to having a go. Whilst the demo is short, it does show how the characters can differ and how the tracks are to race on. I personally enjoyed it; the difficulty is a bit higher than Mario kart but I feel the game has as much depth as Mario Kart. I never managed to win a race but I did manage to come second. The drifting takes time to get used to. With Sonic, the drifting was very pronounced but with Eggman it was less noticeable. The graphics are very colourful and it looks good and fun.

Sonic & Sega All Star Racing – DS – Demo – After playing the PS3 version I wanted to see how the game looked on the DS. Getting the demo from the Wii's Nintendo Channel, I played a few races on the track. One noticeable thing is that the game feels a lot easier. I managed to win both races with ease. The graphics do look good for a DS game, they are still bright and colourful like the console versions. Out of the two, I would prefer to get the console version.
