So onwards to my gaming progress which is not a lot to report about this week, did a few levels of Company of Heroes 2. So far I'm really enjoying it but I don't feel the spark like I did with the first game, although the current mission I'm playing right now has opened more gameplay features so my mind might be changed soon.
Other then that I have put a few more hours into XCOM for the PS3, working my way through so far but man I'm struggling trying to keep one of my team all way through every mission I play. Started with four candidates and now I'm down to two, plus I'm not even close to half way through the game yet.
Final game I've been playing is Defense Grid the tower defence game on the Xbox Live Arcade, yes it was a free game for several weeks but I had purchased it years ago (just never got around to playing it). I have to say it's one of the best tower defence games I've played in a long time, really stuck into it and I'm about three to four levels to go from completing the story. I probably will go back and work on getting gold medals for every level but right now I'm just making my progress through the game.
That is it for my gaming progress, not a lot really but I have been busy and my spare time that I do have has been taken up trying to stay cold during the heat. My action plan for this week is, well ... I don't know really. I guess work on these games some more and see if I can clock something, I need to continue with Phantasy Star as well. I was really doing well with that but I stopped some time last week half way through a level, really should get back onto that before I forget the controls and need to start over.
Could do with some Warcraft time as well since I've got a brand new time card sitting on my desk waiting to be used, no doubt I've lost some items that I had in my mail. Really need to be a bit more organised with that. Actually speaking of Warcraft I wanted to talk about the new figurine sets and micro transactions that was announced this week.
This awesome figurine has turned up at Comic con this year and I really want it, I know from the size this thing will cost a small fortune but it would be so worth it. For those who don't play Warcraft this is Deathwing one of my the main bad guys in the lore, anyway I'm looking forward to seeing the painted outcome. Also announced was the first line of new micro transactions for the game, cosmetic armour helmets.
I like all of them but the Eternal Winter looks the best in my books, although they do look awesome the cost is not. £10 each is a ridiculous price for what you getting, it is cool that every character you own and any future ones you make will get this item. It's just hard to imagine paying £30 for all three which is the cost of the expansion at full price on day of launch. I really do wonder how many people have forked out the money for these items.
Anyway on that note let's change the topic to one more announcement before I end this post and that's a new game has been announced, well sort of anyway. Angry Birds Star Wars is finally coming to the consoles, took long enough to port it over. I'm really excited because it was announced that the PlayStation Vita will be getting it as well, this will be perfect for the Vita touch screen. Plus it's finally another game to get on the Vita but of course there is a bad side to this announcement. Europe release date is the 1st November 2013, yeah they launching it on the same day as Assassin's Creed 4 and Battlefield 4. Plus a few days after is Call of Duty Ghosts and any time around there the next-generation consoles. What a bad time to release a casual game like that, you would think they would aim for September/October or even wait until January/February next year. I would had got it on day one but since of the time it's going onto the wait list for now.
That's it folks for today so thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts, have a good one and I will catch up with you soon.
