Been back for a few hours and just been tiding up along with doing some unpacking, hope you been having a great weekend and got plenty of gaming done. Right before I start my marathon today I need to check my 3DS, once again I forgot about it last night and let the battery run dry. Seriously need to get into the habit of checking it after work, give me two seconds while I plug it in then will update with yesterdays stats.
WOW! eight hits on the street pass, come on puzzle pieces ... so got four pieces this time around which is awesome but to make it even better got the final Pikmin piece so that panel is now finished. So all thats left to do now is the Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Mario & Bowser panels, shame Nintendo don't release any new panels to continue when you finish. Anyway time to do some street quest, feck! forgot I'm in the dark room so lost two heroes. Fecking hate that room! but least I had a white shirt mii light it up. Took out one armoured demon and nearly finished off the second one, no rooms cleared though but to be honest not far from finished the play through. Right just need to update the Pokedex then on to Uncharted! oh got a Basculin Pokemon which looks a lot like a piranha.
So time for some Uncharted!
---------------------------------------------------------
Spoiler Alert!!
Escaped the submarine to be met by Sullys debt collectors, nice gentlemen! Story starting to get real interesting now. Well I'm not currently fighting my way through the tomb ruin again and got to say I'm really impressed with the combat system, very easy and simple controls. Feck my first death lol really should take cover more
Kinda knew that reporter would be back later, guessing his love interest?
Feck, just saw something sparkling in the cover went to look and then got ambushed and grenade nearly killed me. Ohhh the sparkling was a treasure, a decorated gold ring! nice...not really going out my way to get the collectibles. Just enjoying the game and can do a second play through with a guide for that.
Lmao love it, jump out a burning plane and parachute as an hole in it. Of course also left the map on the plane.
Just took look around where I landed (by some weird angel statue) and found another treasure, Silver Inca Figurine this time. Locked gate so shot the lock and kicked the gate in, love the fact the gate doors fall off yet when the lock was on it did not budge.
Found another treasure, this time a silver fish charm which was hidden behind a tree not far from the gate. Love looking for treasure and collectible stuff in games, one of my favourite games is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix since you spend pretty much the entire game in Hogwarts collecting lots of stuff.
Using the sixaxis to balance is slight annoying
Died again since ran out of bullets, there is a small bloody army in this small clearing lol
Right started again and hiding behind a pillar with only 12 bullets, but did just get my trophy for 30 head shots. Trying to make every bullet count
---------------------------------------------------------
Just fighting my way through the ruins and really must have taken out the entire population of the island so far, will admit I'm impressed with the A.I. They don't stay stay still, always on the move and dodging, will always try to flank you as well. I want to complain but I'm happy I'm finally taking on a challenge, one of my tactics is to move back through the way I came which is usually a door or a small path so it forces them to come one and stops flanking been done on me. Course have to be on guard for grenades and surprise attacks while reloading.
Anyway going to take five while I get myself a cup of tea
---------------------------------------------------------
Back and ready for more action, hmmm ok got a huge waterfall and got to make my way across some how, so far died once. Think these ledges to the side might be the key, well I hope anyway
I was right but got shot and killed while jumping, no cover and they kept dodging so think next time I need to keep moving and hope to find some cover. Did get the 50 kills with the pistol trophy though for my troubles.
---------------------------------------------------------
Feck, killed them this time but a broken ledge dropped me this time. Hmm now a cinematic cut scene as the floor gave way, I jump to the safe area but Nathan just rolls forward right over the side...wtf...lol
Ok second time was better but now getting shot at while I'm climbing, lol just blew up their car since they decided to leave a gun powder barrel on the back and its now acting as a bridge for me to move along on.
oh for feck sake, died again, got to say when it comes to jumping the controls can be naff, same curse as Tomb Raider.
---------------------------------------------------------
Found the plane well, whats left of it anyway but did get the map back and can see some kind of ruin fortress in the distance with the remains of the parachute of Elena had.
Seriously how many people do they have lol,
wave one - three guys
wave two - three guys
wave three - three guys
wave four - two guys
wave five - two guys
hooray finished oh wait behind me two more guys.
Well just finished off the last wave and found a lovely spike trap as come around the corner, poor bad guy ran right into it. Ok just made it across some cliff and started taking out some bad guys silently only to get spiked trapped lol, had no idea so attempt two!
Just took out another huge army and now on level 5 the fortress which I'm not currently climbing up, overall I'm really enjoying the game but can clearly see this is one huge game.
Ok two things, one finally got the hang of the sixaxis controls for aiming the grenades and two, love the UZI!! great weapon.
Found Elna snooping in the ruins video recording, reporters *Sigh* but having lots of fun taking shots at the courtyard, although they got a mounted gun aimed at me.
Dang, just started to go inside and there is another mounted gun protecting the passage. LOL Nice!!! just ran down the passage moving from cover to cover, the gun was just above on the next level so tossed a grenade up and blows up the entire thing and collapses the balcony.
Right just jumped down into a flooded hall and now being attacked from all sides but good news though, AK47 - 50 kills trophy so awesome. Think I will keep swapping weapons since I'm assuming there is a 50 kill trophy for each? in fact might just check first before I continue
Yup according to the trophy sites there are ton of trophies for getting x kills with each weapon, might just stick to the UZI for the time being and look out for any new weapons.
Just synced my trophies so facebook is being updated and noticed I'm now on 77% towards level 12, never thought I would hit that goal. I only set two levels since I never use my PS3 and really did not think I would work my way through the challenges since the last two years I've failed them. Proud of myself for getting this far and completing so many games as well, hope this keeps up and I would love to get rid of huge chunk of my back cat games of I've got piled up.
Going to stop for now and take a break, got a few things I would like to do (non gaming) and since got plans for online later I think I need to get on with it now while I got chance.
---------------------------------------------------------
Ok did not tidy up instead my sister's boyfriend played some co-op Portal 2 with me which was awesome! we did about 10ish chambers and got to say it was awesome but from the looks could do with two controllers if I wanted too. Just need to get my mate from work to come online finally and would be awesome! right anyway now going to do some tiding.
---------------------------------------------------------
Just realised I've got post from yesterday and lovefilm as sent me two game discs since I had a free disc code, got Megamind on the Xbox 360 and Thor on Xbox as well. I hear Megamind is a very easy quick 1,000 points and Thor been wanting to play it so cannot wait to get stuck in.
Loading up Dragon Age Legends since just found a newsletter e-mail with another code for a free item "Evra's Horn" which can be used to call an hero into action again getting rid of the timer, awesome
It's playing a lot smoother so guessing there must have been a patch in the last few weeks, and it's a lot faster too for animations and turns.
Did a couple of battles and got to level 13 along with spending several thousand gold coins on upgrading my keep, moved the rooms around too so the bonuses worked better. Anyway think I'm going to jump back into Portal 2 and do some of the co-op stuff using a second controller, really enjoyed playing it earlier and want to do some more challenges.
---------------------------------------------------------
Only did about one or two rooms and clocked a few achievements, it really is easier with a second person playing. I'm now currently torn with what to play to be honest, not sure what time my mate is coming on but guessing later. Hmmm just read up on Megamind and its quoted to take between three and six hours so might start it and have it as a side project.
Well its boring...very boring lol x is shoot and a for jumping thats it really, nothing special and the story is horrible. then again I was not that big fan of the movie, just sticking with it for the nice 1,000 boost in gamerscore. Took about 20 minutes to finish the first level and unlocked several achievements already, in fact two seconds while I get the stats. 150 gamerpoints with four achievements, not bad lol
Second level down and another two achievements worth 55g, now level three finished and defeated the boss without dying so another two achievements with 90g. Dang this is really easy all you do is run through the levels shooting the bad guys, jump over gaps and put batteries into doors that's it! Just checked my achievements and I'm now on 400g already...
---------------------------------------------------------
Just completed level six of ten lol and that was the second boss battle, once again another achievement for not dying while defeating the boss. They are simple to take out and if you are worried you can let yourself die before the fight, you will respawn and get 100% health before the fight. This fight was simple, defeat minions and avoid steam coming from the floor. Press a button to cause steam on the boss, could not be more easy ... well actually it points to the button you got to press! so yeah really easy. So now standing on 600g and counting, time for a mini break and cuppa of tea.
Right I'm back with my cup of tea and ready to get back into it, dang! Stallion83 who is the worlds no.1 for gamerscore (legit) just posted up on twitter that he is 13k off from 600k!!! blimey and hes going for it in 18 days ... talk about a challenge!
Well just finished another two levels so that leaves me with two left, next one is the boss of this section then the final boss for the last level. With those two levels finished I should clock the game to 100% and get 1,000 gamerscore, been ages since I had a super easy game like this lol.
Well that was the boss defeated for that section without taking damage again so all that is left now is the final boss level of the game and then I'm done!
Done, according to raptr it was just over two hours to get the full 1,000 gamerscore. Dang that was quick, might put the PlayStation version on my rental list for a quick platinum trophy. So going to go update my stats since I think that is it for the Xbox 360 tonight.
That was no.29 completion this year WOOT! and thanks to the gamerscore I need another 23k now to hit the 140k mark, of course since I was updating I added my two new games that I bought on the weekend (Dungeon Siege and Zelda) so my 2011 new releases complete percent as dropped down to 25%. Could do with working on one of those new releases really, ah! my mate is online and ready for Warcraft.

Just spent a couple of hours playing and my god it was fun, tried out the Goblin zone for the first time and got to say so far its my favourite starting zone. We both went as Shaman, I'm going to be ranged damage (elemental?) and my mate is going resto. As he said with him as healer we should get into dungeon groups a lot quicker, anyway we both got up to level 7 before we called it a night. It was so much fun, volcanos exploding, hot rod racing, breaking into a bank, escaped inslavement and blew up monkeys with explosive filled bannanas. Being a goblin is never boring lmao, next time I will take more notes and some pics to update here better.
So going to call it a night now, it's been one awesome day off and got plenty of gaming in as you can tell. Thanks for reading my madness and hope you have a good one!
