What Have You Played This Week?

Things back to normal, got the Football Manager back in.

Fat Princess – PS3 – Just played a few of the single player chapters. Computer AI isn't bad, but does tend to leave it to me to rescue the princess.

Race Pro – Xbox 360I sent the game back on Monday. Out of the blue it upped the difficulty from me lapping cars to me being unable to get into the top 3. in the end it was a distinctively average game, that just didn't have enough variety and ended up being spent by about halfway into a career.

Resistance Fall Of Man – PS3 – I'm quickly playing through the game. Unfortunately i've not gotten too much further into the game. I'm past Manchester.

Ashes Cricket 2009 – PS3 – i've never played a cricket game before and thought this would be the best to start. I played a lot of the tutorials and I feel that the controls for the game are very well done. Some of the player animations look a bit suspect, and some of the AI has been bizarre. Ultimately though, i'm unsure if playing cricket is as fun as watching it. There are plenty of options and types of cricket to play and at present i've only tried a quick match and some of the challenges.

Football Manager 09 – PC – I decided to go back to a favourite team in the game, FC bayern Munchen. They are not my favourite team, that's Ipswich Town, but they are one of the easiest teams to play as, which enables me to look for other players, tactics and such. Would love to get the new game, but unfortunately I can't afford it, but what is great about the Football Manager games is that you can play them for a long time, even if a new version has come out (typically as the newest Football Manager needs 1 patch for it to get great.)
