Dead Mans Draw – Shiver me Timbers !!

Posted on 15/04/2014 Written by gospvg

Dead Mans Draw is a card game in which you collect cards to generate a high enough score to beat your opponent.

There are several different card types which each have their own unique skill. From steal to discard & even combo moves where two cards combine to double your collected cards.

After a few stages you unlock the ability to use a trait which gives you a rechargeable power move you can use during the game. I have unlocked the ability to destroy a suit of card on the opponents deck & the ability to see the next three drawn cards.

It does not have a multiplayer mode which is a shame so you have a series of matches to play leading up to a tournament. Like all board games there is an element of luck involved but when you pull off a seven card draw whilst reducing your opponents score & double up with a combo to receive 14 cards it is very satisfying.

Deus Ex Human Revolution – Completed

Posted on 14/04/2014 Written by gospvg

I have not played the earlier Deus Ex games but if they were anything like Human Revolution then I pray for a HD remake so I can play them. Everything from the soundtrack, combat, stealth, hacking to the character voices was spot on.

I eventually unlocked all the abilities earning enough experience points & purchasing piraxis kits.

So many choices throughout the game that effect the outcome of the plot & none more so than your final decision.

If I had more time I would definitely play the game again to try and earn one of the more difficult achievements & see the alternative endings.

This game is so enjoyable that it has to be added to the Top list taking the number to 34.

New Game – Trials Frontier

Posted on 12/04/2014 Written by gospvg


Yes it is a freemium title & is stock full of in-app purchases but so far I've managed to play without any paywalls. I've unlocked the second bike 'Tango' & I'm currently upgrading so I can take on Butch.

It has the same one not go appeal of the XBLA games just a shame the leaderboards are UPlay registered. Gamecentre leaderboards would have been better.

You use fuel for each track you race & this replenishes over time. Parts are needed to upgrade bikes which you get from a roulette wheel when completing a track.

A world map unlocks new tracks when you complete various missions.

I've got quite a few silver times but not a single gold yet. I think these will come with more bike upgrades.

Now to go find my UPlay username & password ...

Completed – Football Chairman

Posted on 10/04/2014 Written by gospvg

After winning the Euro Shield & finishing 1st in 76/77 season. The 77/78 season saw Oxford United complete the Quadruple winning all three domestic cups & taking the Champions League.


There is now nothing else left to achieve so I'll walk off into retirement.

Football Chairman – Champions League

Posted on 09/04/2014 Written by gospvg


2072/73 has been the best season so far for Oxford United. After ten seasons of playing in the Champions League we have won it.

Beating Real Madrid 2-0 at Rome.
This comes after winning the FA Cup a few weeks earlier & finishing top of the league with 101 points !!


The new stadium is also now getting average attendances of 100K for the season.

With all this success comes the annoyance of your manager getting approached.


If you reject the approach you lose 20% in the manager being happy. So after a few approaches if you continue to reject the manager ends up quitting the job.

This makes it very difficult to build up a Bob Paisley style legacy with the best managers always getting poached.
