Steam – Play Them !!

Posted on Written by

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.

Forza Horizon – Completed

Posted on Written by

Cutting back on watching TV shows & restricting movies to only once a week has given me more time to play games which is good because I am enjoying my gaming at the moment. Forza Horizon has been really good fun, I have completed all the ribbon events & beaten Darius Flynt with my Nissan R32. I did think about taking the Bugati but the R32 has won me so many races it was only fair that I chose this car. A very long last race taking you all around the map & through the traffic across different terrains. In the end I beat Darius quite comfortably thanks to the R32 top speed & acceleration.

Having received 7,000,000 credits from winning the race, I then went car shopping & purchased some more cars including the Mclaren F1 & Koenigsegg. I'll be keeping the game for a while to enjoy the UGVM multi-player sessions.

Now to decide what to play next I think I will go play my new toy the Vita & thanks to PS+ I have Uncharted Golden Abyss to enjoy. Last minute change of heart & I have started to play Red Dead Redemption instead.

Forza Horizon – Bugati Veyron

Posted on Written by

2.2 millions credits needed to purchase but wow what a car!! Lightning fast & great fun to drive.

Currently I have the golden wrist band & am working my way up to race Darius Flynt.

I have not put in this many hours into t a racing game since the original Gran Turismo.

Just like Gran Turismo I have a couple of cars that I purchased straight away & these tend to be my default cars for most races.



Subaru Imprezza  - great for all those off road events.


Nissan GTR - fully maxed up to R3 & 10 on all stats.

 

I have quite a few other cars in my garage but one more to show you is the UGVM mobile, the Ford Focus RS500
