What Have You Played This Week?
Football Manager 09 – PC – Still going strong. I've been playing as San Marino, the club not the nation though they both do share the same name, location and stadium. It's interesting as I don't really try out the Italian leagues much.
SOS: the Final Escape – PS2 – I had been recommended this game along time ago, and now it finally showed up from SwapGame. I haven't played too much yet, bu it doesn't make a good first impression. There is little to no music, the character animations are rigid and look funny, and it does leave you to find your own way. So far, i've awoken from a earthquake on a suspension bridge that's falling into the sea below, and rescued a lady from a train, which was slowing falling into the sea. There was an interesting mechanic where balance and speed is critical with things broken or hanging, which is nice. But i'll play more before getting more indepth with it.
Fat Princess – PS3 – i'm really enjoying this game. Still had the odd connection issue, but it's more when the host leaves than lag. I do think i've got an trophy or two that haven't been awarded to me, but i'm still playing regularly. The levels are nice and varied, and so far i've not gotten bored with any of them. One annoying thing is the amount of stalemates that have gone to timers, but they do allow you to get some trophies.
Pokèmon Diamond – DS – hopefully, today will be the day when I complete the elite 4. all bar Frosslass are now lvl 60. oh I also caught my first ever shiny Pokèmon, it was a Sneasel and it was Pink.
