What Have You Played This Week?

I haven't played much at all this week. Work on the site kept me busy but so has other things that need to be done...and the world cup. Whilst the world cup is on I doubt i'll get much more gaming in, especially as Tuesday is my birthday, but I have enjoyed what I managed to play so far.

Football Manager 10 – PC – I Got Havant & Waterlooville out of the conference south, and i'm comfortably top of the Conference and look set to jump to league 2.

Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 – Xbox 360 – I played the first game and enjoyed it, its defiantly a guilty pleasure. I was curious to see what improvements would be made to the game with the sequel. It looks better, the gundams handle better, and the achievements are better also. I'm finding it a bit more difficult than the first, you can't go in guns blasting for the first few levels that's for sure, but overall its still good. But much like the first game there is a lot of gameplay left to get through.

Did you manage to play more games than I have over the week, or do you have any comments on my experiences or questions about the games i've played? If you do, feel free to add them in the comments section.
