Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

By Iain 24 May 2012VideogamesNo Comments

So I bought this because one of the guys at work was raving about it. I probably should have done some research first, because about two hours in, I really regretted buying it. The controls felt sluggish, and because I picked a Sniper Rifle as my primary weapon, killing stuff was troublesome. It had that typically Japanese mechanic, you know,…

Wanquish

By Iain 10 October 2011Reviews, VideogamesNo Comments

Although actually, it wasn't wank, it was really good. I loved it. At first I didn't quite get it, but after a while slowing down time to shoot multiple bad robots faces off just gelled. I would say that's Vanquish in a nutshell, but there's more to it than that. First of all, it's tough. I played it on Hard…

Mango’d

By Iain 30 September 2011Internet, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Although the thing is, I've not been Mango'd. I'm just trying to be. I keep forcing the Windows Phone 7.5 "Mango" update onto my phone, but all I'm getting is the Omnia bug. Again. I guess I'll wait until Orange officially release it to me, and it pops up "An update for your phone is ready", then I shouldn't have…

Target 2011

By Iain 4 January 2011Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

On True Achievements.com I have set myself a target of 60,000 Gamerscore this year. That's a gain of around 10,000. It's a bit of a different scenario from last year. Unlike last year, having funds to purchase new games won't be a problem - but unlike last year, I won't have unlimited free time to play these games. I've also…

Reach is still giving me goosebumps

By Iain 12 October 2010Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

Headrush has had 55 downloads! Is that a lot? I don't know. I've started on my next map, it's called Quadro (semi-named after Karl, I guess). It's a bit like Relic, but built around the terrain on Montana (or Alaska, I forget). Montana (or Alaska) is the raised bit that runs parallel with the Coag Canyon, with blue base being…

Reading list for August

By Iain 1 September 2010Books, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

LOL GOT YOU! I've not read anything for months, mainly because we've not bought any new books. Instead, I've been playing videogames. I'll be honest - I'm struggling a bit with Pokémon Emerald. It's not the difficulty, it's just the slog. The areas seem a lot farther apart in this game and I've not found Fly yet, and as such,…

Fighting fire with fire

By Iain 16 August 2010Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments

This is all about Firefight, the super cool mode on Halo 3: ODST where you are in an arena and wave after wave of Covenant rush at you, shooting their futuristic neon laser guns in your direction. It was going to be about Pokémon, I figured I'd not written about it in a while. I am still playing Pokémon Emerald…

Tenpeat – 50g

By Iain 30 July 2010VideogamesNo Comments

Don't hold back your true potential! Win 10 Ranked Matches in a row! Well, after a few failed attempts at trying organise a boosting session for it on TrueAchievements, I managed to win it legit. It was so different to how I won the win-10-ranked-games-in-a-row Achievement in regular Street Fighter IV. There, I was flitting between ranked and custom games,…

Defense Grid? Defense Good, more like!

By Iain 24 June 2010VideogamesNo Comments

All four Resurgence packs are out now, 80msp each, 5 new Achievements in all, 10g each for a total of 50g. Stunning new levels, great fun. Service Interruption is an interesting one - I found that a good way to stop the aliens getting near the cores was to install Meteors - they were able to hit the waves better…

I’m going to write about True Achievements again

By Iain 23 June 2010Internet, VideogamesNo Comments

Here's that URL again. http://www.trueachievements.com/ Now, along with some other guys on RF, I had set myself a Gamerscore target (get from 38,000 to 50,000) for 2010. What I didn't realise at the time was that you could actually set yourself goals on TrueAchievements! I set myself two goals yesterday. The first is to get to 50,000 Gamerscore and the…
