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.

Xbox 360 – Digital Games

Posted on Written by

Following on from my previous post I thought I would take a list at what is on my 360 digital games to play list. There are quite a few 45 titles !!

Thankfully I have spent all remaining microsoft points so will not be buying any more digital games. Looking back at the list Braid & Castlevania SOTN were purchased in 2008 !!

Currently I am playing Bastion after that I think I will play Walking Dead 400 days & then Fez.

Steam – Play Them !!

I really REALLY need to start looking at my Steam library of games, currently I am going through the Xbox 360 digital games. I have setup my spare 360 console (faulty disc drive) to my PC monitor & currently I am playing Bastion once I have completed all the 360 games I have either PS+ or Steam library to start playing.


Red Dead Redemption – Challenges

Posted on Written by

Dueling is a bit hit & miss I don't really know what I am doing & have been lucky so far, equally using the rope also needs some more practice. The random events sometimes it is difficult to know who is the law & who is the criminal & I have ended up shooting the law by mistake. Which I then have to reload the game, I think I am just going to ignore these now & I still have not managed to shoot off a hanging victim in these random events.

 Spent most of my time over the past few days on the challenges & side 
quests. I enjoy the treasure hunting challenge & sharpshooter but collecting the flowers is just boring. Making quite a bit of money from hunting animals I came across a pack of 15 wolves whilst treasure hunting & after skinning them made quite a bit of cash. I hate that there is no option to turn off the skinning animation with all the blood splats.

 I have not done any of the horse rustling side quests but have completed a few others you get from traveling the area. Really enjoyed the sharpshooter challenge of shooting 5 birds on top of the train. I have a big W on my map which I keep ignoring but I think I am at the point where I need to go back to the main storyline.

 Reading the above back it seems quite negative but actually far from it, the game is great fun & I love the setting & gorgeous scenery.
