Game Swapping, Bully and PS3s

posted by Jaitu at 12:03

With only five achievements remaining to be had from Dead Space I decided to give it a rest and embark on something different. To that end TechMaster and I swapped a of couple titles. He had recently completed Bully so I took that and he took Dead Space.
Bully is essentially Grand Theft Auto set in a private school. Amazingly I've never actually spent any time playing a Grand Theft Auto game since the very first top-down title, which I loved. Bully puts you in the role of Jimmy Hopkins an unloved kid with a string of expulsions who is dumped into Bullworth Academy by his Mother and Step-Father. The game follows the GTA open world format with new areas opening up as you progress. There are a number of missions that must be completed before moving on through the school years as well as side errands that can be taken. Missions range from finding and returning lost or stolen objects, picking lockers, fighting school bullys, defending the nerds (for cash) and putting burning bags of dog feces outside the staff room. I've just completed sophomore year and according to the game stats am about 5% through the game.

On another note entirely I'd like to welcome WorthyBoy to the blog. As a PS3 owner he brings the Sony side of the story. Funnily enough though, despite our many good natured 'discussions' over the relative merits of the Microsoft and Sony platforms, WorthyBoy has recently been contemplating the purchase of an Xbox360 and TechMaster has just had Santa deliver a PS3 into his arsenal.

Doubling P.C-U

Good, it is working. In an effort to reduce the amount that I bore those that care to listen to my personal insight about PS3's HW dominance, Jaitu suggested that I "Dump" my joy, feelings and time onto the playing.catch-up blog. This hopefully doubles the content, conjecture, perspective and spelling reereors.

I broadly come across as a PS3 Fanboy and hope to muddy the water with titles released that I have the vaguest opininon about.

To catch up this holiday I will suffer several pulmonary issues playing the PS3 version of Dead Space and collect the final 48% of stickers/items/inane rubish from LittleBigPlanet. My PSN name is worthyboy if you care to Quincy me on Home.
