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 – Still playing through with FC Bayern. Also i'm now manager of Ireland. Only through the second season so far.

Okami – Wii – i've always wanted to play this game and had this game on my rent list on both the PS2 and Wii. Now i'm playing it, I can see why people rave about the game. The graphic style is impressive, the art unique, the story is good and the controls work fine. Unfortunately, there are some issues with Wii Waggle controls which does let the game down. I've still got a long way to go in the story and can't wait to see how things play out.

Uncharted 2 – PS3 – I spent too long away from this game and instantly loved going back. I did the train scene which was as epic and fun as people say. The Tibetan village was amazing and the few outstanding. It was easy to play a good 3-4 hours straight. There are some similarities with the first Uncharted story, which I won't go into here do to spoilers, which help make this separate story feel more like a part of the series. I can't wait to see where the story goes.

Thexder Neo – PS3 – Demo – I have never played any of the series, nor do I know what the game is actually about. So I played the demo a few times and died each time early on. I honestly don't know what i'm meant to be doing, should I kill the enemies or not. It does look good and the ship transforms nicely to the robot. I can say I won't be buying the game, if I had money to that is.

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

In addition, the soundtrack is compatible with most MP3 players (including with iPod®), iTunes® and Windows Media Player.

Recorded at Temple Studios in Chatsworth, Calif., which Herrera co-owns and operates with B-Real (Cypress Hill), the soundtrack came to fruition through collaboration between Herrera, his industry colleagues and the team at THQ’s Rainbow Studios.

“We wanted the soundtrack for MX vs. ATV Reflex to sound like a full-fledged album, and as a long-time fan of Motocross, it was great to help add the realism to this already amazing game and franchise,” said Herrera. “All in all, it was a fun project to work on, and the end result sounds great – especially every time I play the game!”

Press Release

January 27, 2010 - On January 28, 2009 (Japan time), Nintendo Co., Ltd. reported financial results for the first three fiscal quarters and earnings for the period ending Dec. 31, 2009, and left unchanged prior forecasts for full year global sales and profits.

The nine month figures for net sales, operating income, ordinary income, and net income represented the third best corresponding performances in company history, but they all saw a decline from the results of the prior year. The net sales and operating income declines in comparison to the record-breaking previous year primarily stem from year-on-year decreases in Wii hardware and Nintendo DS software sales, a price cut for Wii hardware, and the significant impact of a stronger yen.

The company also updated life-to-date worldwide unit shipments for its two category-leading brands. Cumulative shipments of Wii hardware now exceed 67 million, along with nearly 510 million software units. For the Nintendo DS franchise that includes Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, and Nintendo DSi, the corresponding lifetime totals now stand at over 125 million portable hardware systems, and over 688 million software units.

Consolidated financial results for April-December 2009 in millions of yen:
