What Have You Played This Week?

Not too much played this week. There generally was a lot of news to deal with meaning I only played a little here and there.

Football Manager 10 – PC – My Family were kind enough to get me the new game in the series. Some major changes to menus and options have made playing this game hard, so to help I changed the look to FM 09. but even then, that look has been changed also. I do like the custom league feature and there are several leagues that people have done that can be added. Got to play lots more of it before I get a deeper feel for the game.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl – Wii – slowly working my way through the story mode. Over half way so far.

Super Paper Mario – Wii – I've never played any of the Paper Mario games and thought this would be a good start. It looks really good, the simple art and bold colours highlight what the Wii can do. The story is a bit of a stretch, but the character inter-actions, history, and twits help it greatly. The game is taking longer than I thought it would. It does feel like it's been padded out a bit, but its not too distracting. The 2d/3d mechanic is fun and the game makes use of the Wii's pointer in a good way. The game uses these to make some interesting puzzles. The controls are perhaps too simple, making you go into menus to do things, but that is either down to the WiiMote or the developers. I am enjoying it, despite its length, and look forward to seeing how things develop.

Star Trek Online - Beta– PC it has taken along time on my rubbish internet connection to download this so I haven't got much time into it, the file is over 6.6GB in size!. So far, it looks good, ship combat is fun, space is really massive, ground combat is fine, and the mechanics are being explained well. The controls are fairly simple, but I am only a little way in. I look forward to seeing what I can do in the Beta and would really love to play the game when it comes out...just need money, lol.

Fl0w – PS3 – I finally downloaded the Trophy patch for this game and played it alittle. I got some trophies and that's about it. I had completed and played through the game a few times already...and the trophies will make you do it again. There not the easiest trophies to get and a couple will be difficult.


What have you been playing this week? feel free to add your weeks gaming selection in the comments, or comment on my selection for this week
