Harry Potter And The Deadly Hallows: part one I picked up this title real cheap at Christmas so now having worked 12 days straight I decided to opt for easy cheevo's. After one hours play and sheer boredom I gave up. Having got 105 points off it in that hour you would figure I would continue but when a game is slow paced and no entertainment value for money and making me fall asleep I was out. The box should read put insomniacs to sleep as it that shit/dull, im going to score this 30% basic purely on graphics.
I was very excited to final get around to playing this game having played the previous game. So I popped the disk in and the first thing I notice was a recap section where if you didn't play first game or you don't remember you could watch a small video and tell you the story. I personally think this feature should appear in more games. As I put the hours into the game (think I finished it on 8 ½ hours), I was on the edge of my seat due to a compelling story and also jumping numerous times. It played exactly like I remember it the hub built onto your character and your guns, the running up and down halls and space as you severed off limbs from the necromorphs, completing mini puzzles to access the next area like the old school resident evil games. The one main problem I had with it which most people on the net did too, was the last two chapters which if you didn't know how to kill the last new necromorph your pretty much dead. Or you could just do what I did and run through the last two chapters ignoring ammo and other stuff behind. To me that was aggravating as I loved exploring each level looking in each room and space.
As for the final boss fight it took me about eight attempts to do as in general you have lack of ammo and life as you just had to run through two levels, and to make matters worst you cant purchase ammo from the store as the last store u encounter was in chapter 13 and you don't even know it the last time for you to stock up. I still highly recommend you buy this game though, for me the game gets a score of 86%.
Once again I have flu for the second time this year and its only the start of march , Bad times.
On Saturday Leeds beat local rivals Doncaster 5-2 in our most successful show of attacking football all season with the combination of GBH (Gradel , Becchio & Howson) getting the goals for us , with 35 league games now played we have scored a very surprising 67 goals although we have shipped 57 making our goal difference look a lot worse than it should be .
Gradel celebrates scoring
Saturdays game vs Donny highlighted a problem we have had all season long NOT TAKING OUR CHANCES which considering the amount of goals we have scored is a scary thought , and then ending up conceding a goal or two against the run of play.
Gradel about to score again
But with a minimum of 11 games to go we sit relatively comfortable in 6Th place 4 points ahead of Burnley in 7th place although they do have 2 games in hand on us more exciting is the gap of only 5 points to Swansea in 2nd place and with Preston away tonight (who require a damn good beating after they beat us unbelievably 4-6 earlier this season) comes the chance to finally end our Tuesday night problems. With the addition of Aston Villa Central midfielder Barry Bannan added to the squad we are looking good for the remainder of the season , one thing for sure is it's going to be entertaining.
So neither me nor my wife can drive which can prove troublesome when it comes to making sure there is food in our flat , our solution is to use Tesco's excellent home delivery service .
Having ordered our food on-line yesterday evening (Sunday 6pm ish) we chose a delivery slot of Monday morning 9 - 11 it turned up at 9:01am but what I am most impressed with is the substitution of items that are unavailable in there store , having ordered a 250g jar of marmite I instead got a 500g jar for no extra cost as the 250g jar was out of stock and shit more marmite is always a good thing !
Thats my little review done i highly recommend using it if you cant be arsed to go to the store or cant drive.
Now if you have been following my blog you will be aware that we have a puppy he is now 3 months old and a HELL of a lot bigger than we thought he would be at this stage photographic evidence of this is below.
but with him now being old enough to go out for walks that is making things around the house a lot better with him finally being able to burn of that excessive energy rather than use it to try and destroy our home!
now on to something you may enjoy if you like to take the piss out of video games this is a episode of Games Radar's Trailer Trash Theater which is very very funny so be sure to check out the rest of them as well
Tomorrow is my 27Th birthday so I'm off to contemplate life and my impending death until next time Peace out
Fable 3 is a disappointment , Let me explain I have always been a big fan of the fable series on Xbox I never owned a original xbox but as soon as i found out that the 360 would have the facility to download xbox original games I was on fable straight away and loved it from the first to the last minute , with a very compelling story along with fun side quests it was a different style of RPG from the ones i had played previously (such as Final Fantasy)
When I heard that Fable 2 was coming to Xbox 360 I eagerly awaited its release even pre ordering it something I very rarely do and once i got my copy it didn't leave my console until l had finished it. with much improved graphics , a deeper story line and even more side quests including taking on jobs to earn more money. It also bought in the for your actions to effect the look of your character , for instance one night after performing a rather evil act I turned my console off and went to bed when i next loaded up the game my character had developed demon horns on his head , which changed the way all the NPC's reacted to me in game.
So we now get to Fable 3 as soon as i put it in and loaded it up i wasn't feeling it something didn't feel right the graphics didn't seem to have improved if anything they seem to have gone back a generation , the camera also seemed very hard to control often not enabling me to see all the enemy's on screen which can be a problem .
I have only played for around 1 hour so really cant comment on the story of this game but all in all this game has left me massively disappointed and for this i can only really blame Peter Molyneux , the reason for this is this man is a one man HYPE machine who always hypes up his games way beyond anything they can ever realistically expect to achieve . When this happened with fable 2 I forgave him as the game stood up on its own but not this time and in future i will be cautious when buying a Molyneux product
