Still pretty slow on the gaming front… even more so with the PS3 drive dying.
- From Dust (Xbox360)
- Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii)
- Minecraft (PC)
- Jedi Academy (PC)
Minecraft and Jedi made it back into the rotation again as they usually do when other sources of games dry up. Finally completed Donkey Kong, can’t recommend that game enough. Even though I’m an established “disappointed with the Wii” kinda guy.
From Dust is a nice throwback to the days of my Populous past. I loved that game back in the day and have been following From Dust for a while now. Was going to pick it up on PSN or PC but as the Xbox got an early release I grabbed it there instead. Very, very fun game. Will try and get a review up asap.
For the first time I’d like to open “Playing this month…” up to the readers for once. Any suggestions for games to play this month? Any platform, any genre… within reason.
Leave a comment or shoot me an email with your game suggestions.
Im hesitant to get excited about this, but the child in me that remembers such things as ‘Sonic Tuesday’ and ‘Mortal Monday’ is already getting as hyper as a 12 year old jacked up on sugar!
Normally I dismiss any new Sonic news that vomits itself into existance, but a new 2D title? Re-built from the ground up? Could Sega revive this dead brand and finally give it the outing it so badly deserves?
To avoid dissapointment I am going to shelve any excitement and wait this out. Sega have shat on the Sonic franchise for years now… I’ll reserve judgement till I see some soild footage.
The Kut-Ku statue I ordered from Play Asia arrived today!
Sorry for the picture quality but I only had my PSP camera to use as I’m at work right now. You can just make out the statue.. if you ignore my blue shirt in the reflection of the plastic!
As you can see, my Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Notepad arrived with the statue too. No more will I have to scribble my MH notes in an unworthy pad..
Again, sorry for the picture quality.. I think I set the picture size faaar too big for lightbox but it will have to do for now.
My only regret is that at some point I’m going to have to give the statue away for a Wyvernhunt.info competition.
…got the better of me finally. I ordered myself a pretty sweet Kut-Ku statue from Play-Asia, and also grabbed a Monster Hunter notebook while I was at it.
I actually plan on giving away the statue in a competition over at Wyvernhunt.info. Not sure what kind of competition yet but probably some kind of naked speed run on a Ku or something like that.
Much as I’d like to keep it myself, no staff entries allowed.. will just have to pick another up asap
