Red Dead Redemption – The Duke is DEAD

Posted on Written by

Managed quite a bit of play time this weekend, completing all the misson's in Mexico. Both Escuella & Bill Williamson are dead & I helped Reyes start off the Mexcian revolution. Then you venture back up north to the town of Blackwater & help the Law enforcement officers take down the Duke.

There is a lovely sequence after you have killed the Duke & you are set free to return home a song plays on your journey called "Compass"

I was expecting a credits sequence to follow but luckily no I have more missions to do around my ranch :)


New Game – Scurvy Scallywags

Posted on Written by

Not really s new game I have been playing for a few weeks, sucked into yet another match three iOS game.

It's quite enjoyable with the pirate theme, treasure hunting & boat building.

There is a trick to get lots of gold I found out when you are on the boss fight of an island. The rock monster in the screenshot does not move around the screen like other monsters instead at regular intervals he turns all power tiles to stone.

So keep him away from you and just concentrate on collecting the gold.

You obviously need gold to purchase ship parts, weapons, new skills & an extra life heart if needed.

Red Dead Redemption – Horse in the ground

A glitch I came across whilst some bandits attacked me.

I give you the Horse in the ground

Really enjoying the game, I have spent some time on the main story & I've attacked Fort Mercer now but Bill Williamson has escaped to Mexico.

Arriving at Mexico I am greeted by some friendly locals & Landon Ricketts, an old time gunslinger teaches me some more dead eye skills.

Walking Dead 400 Days – Completed

Posted on Written by

I thoroughly enjoyed the Walking Dead Season 1 (So much so that it went into my Top32), 400 days gives you 5 short stories, you can play in any order. I started with Vince who after committing a murder is on his way to prison when the outbreak occurs. You have to make a choice on which prisoner you want to sacrifice so you can escape. 

Next I went for Bonnie who is a recovering drug addict, she is chased through a cornfield & ends up killing one of the people who has helped her. Next I chose Wyatt’s story, he & his friend Eddie are being chased by someone when they hit someone, they stop to investigate but Wyatt has to leave Eddie behind because the mad man who was chasing them has caught up. 

Russell’s story starts with him walking the side of the road & is picked up by Nate, they arrive at a truck stop & are shot by the inhabitant. You then work your way around & have the choice to kill the shooter or not? The last story is that of Shel & her sister Becca who are in a group that live in the Truck stop from Russell’s story. You are forced to make a couple of deciding decisions on the fate of two people. 

The story then breaks to Tavia who is out on the road looking for survivors, it is her who is looking at the notice board at the start of the game. She follows some nearby smoke to a campsite where all of the previous characters are stationed. Following conversations some decide to leave with her & some don’t.

Firstly disappointed that the ending of season 1 where Clementine is looking at a field and notices some people (walkers) does not get mentioned, maybe that will link somehow to the people who stayed behind at the camp?

400 days is very short easily finished in an hour but I’m hungry for more so come on Season 2 !!

Bastion – Completed

Posted on Written by

Yes the narration of the story is the games unique point, otherwise its like every other action game you have played.

You first have to collect cores & then shards at the end of each stage. There are spin off training sections for you to try & hone your skills with a particular weapon but otherwise it’s a 5/6 hour plod along with a choice at the end to decide the fate of the Bastion.

If you feel so inclined you can replay for the alternative ending but instead I moved on very swiftly to 400 Days.
