The State Of Play

posted by Jaitu at 19:22

I wouldn't describe myself as a Hardcore or avid gamer but I do enjoy playing the odd game every now and then. In the last year or so, maybe because I'm getting old or maybe because of the finances, I have begun to think that I really should try and finish games before starting new ones. This doesn't always happen. Currently the games I am actively engaged in are:
Burnout Paradise (around 9 Stunt Runs and 12 Road Rules Times until completion),
Call of Duty 4 (Completed on an intermediate difficulty and now working through in Veteran mode and cursing the War Room)
and very recently Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One (Defeated the chap with the shiny hair and looking for the invisible mime articles).

You could theoretically add to these the titles that got put on back burners as a result of those above:
Assassins Creed (first three or four assassinations completed but attention diverted by COD4),
Mario Galaxy (I can't remember how far I got, fun but not *that* fun) and
No More Heroes (Gave it a go to see what it's like, really quite liked it but was busy with other things).

On top of all this there's the online portions of COD4 and Burnout Paradise.
Anyway, I'll pick up on each of these as I next play them and give more of my feelings towards them so far and as we go along.
