What Have You Played This Week?
Managed to play a few games this week but managed not to complete any of them, lol.
Football Manager 10 – PC – managed to survive my first season in Division 1 with Annan. Chairman is going to build a new stadium, better not get relegated cause the loans are huge.
Critter Crunch – PS3 – Played a lot more of the adventure mode. I've nearly completed it but it has gotten really tough. I managed to play some games online, there's not many people playing but those who are are great.
Uncharted 2 – PS3 – I got some more uncharted 2 Multiplayer done. Those trophies that came with the map pack are tough and are going to take a lot of work. There are loads of people still playing the many game modes in it.
Modern Warfare 2 – PS3 – I had hoped to go back and complete the game but failed. I only put in a couple of hours and from what I know, i've nearly completed it. I taking it slowly with the game, trying not to finish it in one sitting. I didn't play multiplayer or the other mode as the game isn't as good as I hoped. For me, the game is not where close to being as good as Killzone 2.
Warhawk – PS3 – I initially went in to see if there was still a community playing. And I was surprised to see how many people were playing it, so I just dived in. it feels old and it doesn't look that great any more, but the simplistic nature of the game make it very accessible and it was fun. Thankfully I have the map packs that came out as many of them were being used. I may return to the game a few times as it was fun.
