This year, this week before E3 has been busier than ever, not only have companies...well Sony been revealing things early, I now have access to a greater number of press sites meaning i'm soo much busier.
Football Manager 10 – PC – Managing well with Havant And Waterlooville, top of Conference South with the second half of the season ahead.
Sid Meiers Pirates – PSP – this is the newest game from swapgame. I remember this game being well received when it came out but I didn't know what to expect from it. I'm still early in the game so I can't say much about the game, but it still looks good, and it quickly gets the backstory out of the way and throws you into gameplay.
Uncharted 2 - PS3 – I actually managed to unlock a couple of trophies in mutliplayer which shows I played a good amount of multiplayer when I could. I noticed a few people I was playing against had connection issues, either that or they were dropping out of a game, which makes it easier for the team with more players to win, does become annoying.
Transformers: War For Cybertron – Demo - Xbox 360 – this demo is multiplayer only and it only provides you with 2 different classes. But I think it's fun. I've only played deathmatch so far and there's only 1 map in this mode and whilst its fairly simple, the ability to transform and customise your weapons makes even the simplest of maps different. I'm a huge transformers fan, and from a multiplayer point of view, this has to be one of the best transformers games in a long time.
what have you been playing this week? feel free to add your weeks gaming selection in the comments, or you can comment on the game i played this week.
