A way with words is essential, too, as you'll discover inScrabble™ Classic for the Nintendo DSiWare service.

What Have You Played This Week?
Not too much played this week. There generally was a lot of news, especially with X10, so when I had time to game it was in short bursts. That is apart from Uncharted 2 which I finally managed to complete on Hard.
Football Manager 10 – PC – Still playing through with FC Bayern. Also i'm now manager of Ireland. Only through the second season so far.
Uncharted 2 – PS3 – finally managed to complete the game. I really do like the game, but the way the game ended didn't quite live upto the game. Its a shame but not a major detractor. Not sure i'll go back and play through to get platinum.
Unreal III – PS3 – I wanted to get some senseless shooting in, so I fired up this game. Still looks great, still plays great. Its just a shame it never too off. It does feel a bit old school, but that was what I was after. The trophies are terrible, so i'm just really playing some matches here and there.
Echoshift – Demo – PSP – i'd kept a eye on this since it was revealed as echochrono. The graphic style looks really good on the psp, and the fact they made a simple control scheme really helps you focus on the puzzle. Its a time puzzle, similar to the crank puzzles in the latest Ratchet & Clank. Its a good demo as it has a decent tutorial to the time mechanic and a couple of levels to show how it works.

Little Big Planet – PS3 – I put this in to update it as there had been a few updates since I last played. But I thought i'd play a few of the levels people have made...i ended up playing for a couple of hours. This game just keeps on giving.
Resistance Fall Of Man – PS3 – I wanted to try and complete this so I stuck it in and did a few chapters. This is starting to date in both graphics and control style, but the story is still engaging enough for me to play through.
