What Have You Played This Week?

Just as I thought, I didn't get much gaming time in this week. I played a lot of Tiny Tower but that was really it on the iPhone. As well as work, I have got a new TV i've been setting up ( A Panasonic Viera TXL32DT30) and i'm hoping to really test it during the next week.

Football Manager 2010 – PC – I made it into Europe, I finished 7th in the league. I'm making a bigger push for top 6 this season, I have a new stadium also that's giving me lots of money.

Pokèmon White – DS – Not too much played. Mostly i've been catching Pokèmon online and transferring them to my game.

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen – PS3 – i'm still working my way through the game. It feels pretty short, so even though i've only played a few more hours it feels i've made a lot of progress through the story (i've seen the movie so I kinda know what's going to happen). Still not great, the voice acting especially is starting to grind but that's more the script than anything else.

Tiny Tower – iPhone – My tower is now 42 floors high and I have 73 residents. For those who play, they'll understand that i've played a fair bit of this game. I'm keeping it free to play, I don't intend on buying credits. Oh I also have fully upgraded the elevator.

Chime – PS3 – I quickly chucked this in to see how the TV sounds, I only did a couple of 6 minute stages....its still great!

Press Release

SAN DIEGO – July 15, 2011 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) and LucasArts today announced Mission on Iceberg Three, the summer series of Star Wars®: Clone Wars Adventures™, which connects the storyline between seasons three and four of the hit Cartoon Network television series, Star Wars™: The Clone Wars ™. SOE worked closely with Dave Filoni, supervising director of the series, to create the exclusive storyline in the Mission on Iceberg Three summer campaign.

Mission on Iceberg Three kicks off at the end of season three following the battle at Felucia, where the players are given a dangerous assignment from Plo Koon - save the Calamari system from an impending Separatist attack.

“Season Four is going to drop audiences into the deep end of an important battle, and this is a chance for fans to take part in one of our biggest storylines yet,” said Filoni. “These events will ripple throughout theStar Wars galaxy, so they are integral to the trajectory of the series. This is a great way to contribute to the Republic’s war effort, and SOE’s done a great job of tying our stories together.”

Through four new engaging narrative-filled levels, Mission on Iceberg Three allowsfans to enhance their Clone Wars experience. Players will duel an iconic adversary using customized Lightsabers™, battle through the galaxy in the ultimate Starfighter™ and defend the citizens of the Mon Calamari system with help from a new Ally in Republic Defender.

Mission on Iceberg Three will be the go-to virtual summer hangout and is the only place where players can stay current on news and events from Star Wars®: Clone Wars Adventures™ and the latest developments in the evolving storyline of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, until the premiere of season four this fall.
