What Have You Played This Week?
I tried to play more this week. Still busy with the site, of course, but took more time to relax and play some games. Even if it was in small chunks with Shatter or Fat Princess.
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.
Dead Space – PS3 – i'll say it now i'm not a fan of scary games, but I still wanted to try this game...with the lights on during the day. Can't say i've gotten far yet. I've done the first chapter and about half way through the second. Graphics look nice, story fits nice, and the art fits. The monsters did make me jump at the start, but it didn't take long for that to pass. I liked the different things it's already made me do, like the lack of gravity sections, nad looking at the trophies make me think I may have a chance to platinum it.
Fat Princess – PS3 – no issues connecting to a game, but did notice that a lot of games fail to find a host. Still one of the top players on a team, and there are still some people who don't have a clue or just don't know what the fire map is about.
Tag – PC I found this game on my computer when I was hunting for something else. Its a simple free indie game, where you have a paint gun and you get different colours which have different effects on the player. The levels are deisgned to show you how to use each colour, as well as some little tricks as well. It was very engaging and very easy to go from one stage to another. The lack of a save is very annoying, but if you want a free indie game...look for tag.
Shatter – PS3 I do enjoy this game. The gameplay can be subtle and complicated depending on how the player plays the game. It does get fairly difficult as you progress through the letters, but it also offers the player plenty of 1ups which I feel is a good balance. The end bosses also have gotten smarter, needing the player to use more functions of the craft and some strategy which is also welcomed. And of course, the soundtrack is perfect for the game.
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

Press Release
Today Microsoft announced that gamers, Beatles fans, music lovers, and do-gooders across the world are raising tens of thousands of dollars to benefit Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) by downloading the exclusive Xbox LIVE track, “All You Need Is Love,” at a record-setting pace and bidding for a limited edition “The Beatles: Rock Band” Xbox 360 console. The rare Xbox 360 console featuring illustrations from the eye-popping cinematic intro to “The Beatles: Rock Band” attracted more than 110 bids from around the globe, finally raising $17,300 for the charity in its 10 day online auction.
With $17,300 raised from the auction of the first limited edition Xbox 360 console, Doctors Without Borders will be able to purchase the equipment needed to carry out 86,500 immunizations using auto-disposable syringes, or purchase enough emergency kits composed of drugs and medical supplies to meet the basic needs of more than 2,800 people for 15 days in the aftermath of a disaster. Only a small number of these numbered, Beatles-themed Xbox 360 consoles will ever be available to the public with all proceeds to benefit Doctors Without Borders. Information on the release of the remaining limited edition consoles in regions worldwide is coming soon to www.xbox.com/thebeatlesrockband.
The love doesn’t stop there.

Funds generated from initiatives such as this can go a long way,” he added. “Severely malnourished children will be treated, people displaced by war will receive life-saving medical care, and people living with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and other neglected diseases will have access to the medicines they need. On behalf of our patients, Doctors Without Borders says ‘Thank You.’”
