Champ Man – FA Cup Winners

Posted on Written by

I've not played Champ Man for a long time & last left it gearing up for a FA Cup Final against Chelsea.

A bad start with Mata scoring in the 4th minute but 2 goals before half time & some solid defending 2nd half gave Oxford the FA Cup win.



New Game – Remember Me

Posted on Written by

I have now calmed down about the Batman corrupted save (although I am still annoyed) hopefully a fix will be arriving soon for the various issues on the 360 version of the game.

So I needed something else to start & back to PS+

Remember Me & Metal Gear Rising were this months offering & both look interesting enough to play so I started with Remember Me.

You control Nilin who is having her memory wiped by the Memorize corporation, she manages to escape & with the help of her friend Edge your story begins to bring down Memorize.

I love the graphical Deus-Ex style futuristic look of neo-Paris but was surprised when I got into combat to discover it is a brawler type game. This is not a bad thing but the combat could be more refined to offer a Batman Arkham style experience.

I've completed the first two chapters which also involved an enjoyable memory remix section which is similar to the current Batman Arkham Origins detective sequences but more involved. I also love the music in the game with it's electronic touches.

This is one of those rare type of middle tier games like Enslaved that would be released in the hope they would become successful but alas the sales figures come under 250K which I assume is not enough to warrant Capcom investing further. I will however be investing more time to continue playing.

Batman – Shredder Treatment !!

Posted on Written by

This game deserves to be given the now famous Gary shredder treatment.

How can my save have been corrupted?!

Reading the RLLMUK thread over the past week lots of gamers were having issues with the game but I had none apart from a couple of lockups.

I went to load up the game today & CORRUPT SAVE!

I love the use of the exclamation mark by WB Games It just needed a few expletives & would have summed up my feelings. I am feeling so angry, disappointed & sad that a game I was enjoying very much has corrupted with no apparent reason. 20 Hours !! 20 Hours of my gaming time never to return !!

Sorry WB Game but there is no way I will be starting the game again. I'm DONE !!

PS4 – WEAK !!

Posted on Written by

I AM WEAK !!

Do I buy on release or wait till the first round of price drops?

When will that be 2015?

How much will it drop, maybe down to £299. Saving only £50 to wait 18 to 24 months.

I want to play the multi-platform games on the best console (PC not considered) available the likes of AC4, Watch_Dogs, Need for Speed, Destiny etc ..

But more importantly than that is SHINY !!

I AM STRONG !!

Batman Arkham Origins – New Game

Posted on Written by

You can never have too much of a good thing. My last outing with Batman prove painful for my RSI but there is no denying that it was still a great game to enjoy. This time around to avoid the same issues I'm playing the game on easy. I love flying around Arkham performing stealth takedowns, launching batarangs at unsuspecting criminals & solving another of the enigmas puzzles.

It's more of the same yes but for me that's a good thing why mess with a winning formula. GTAV might be taking all the plaudits at the moment for open world gaming but I'll take Batman & Arkham any day. Origins is not developed by Rocksteady (who I hope are busy working on a next gen Batman) but by WB Games Montreal who have not altered the recipe that much.

Some slight changes I've noticed so far are the obvious Batcave with its training facility & Alfred. The crime reconstruction sequences seem quite interesting (I've only performed one so far in the game) & the various radio towers over Arkham offer Enigma a chance to test your brain cells. You have various challenges that you have to perform to unlock some upgrades but generally you start off with most of what you already know from the previous games.
