Deus Ex HR – Missing Link – Completed

Posted on 26/04/2014 Written by gospvg

Alas no Pinky & the Brain but a scientist who was willing to spill the gossip on Belltower if I could save her arse. Making my way back through the prison complex & Burke has now become aware of my presence (maybe it was the dead bodies littered all over the facility that gave me away). How does he react? like every evil bastard he decides to gas the prisoners & my Edward Snowden scientist.

"You must choose, Sheriff Jenson, Prisoners or Scientist?"
Hint - There is a way to save them both which is what I did.

I expected Burke to be a boss fight like the main game but I sneak onto the top of his cabin & drop a gas grenade in through the roof. Job Done. Catch the next express freight service to Hengsha.

Missing Link completed.

Pikmin 2: slow progress until day 7

Posted on 25/04/2014 Written by Xexyz

Without the overall time deadline of the first game, there's less incentive to rush around the levels, having multiple groups of pikmin on multiple tasks simultaneously. Instead, I spent a couple of days just exploring Awakening Wood, building up my red pikmin numbers before entering the second cave.

Down in this cave I found white pikmin, adding to the purple pikmin I had from before. The white pikmin are resistant to poison, which should come in handy, but only because the game has introduced poisonous enemies and obstacles. It's a bit more complicated than the first game, and there are new 'sprays' which I know I'll never get around to using since they're a disposable item.

I find it pretty limiting that the white and purple pikmin can only be gained by going into the caves - and the caves are all a bit dark and miserable. As a result I've got very few white pikmin left, particularly after half of them died in the final battle in the white flower cave.

Still, with poison-resistant pikmin in my party, I was able to break through to new areas, and I've found the yellow pikmin as well. With the lack of time limit, I feel that my next task will be to build up numbers again ...

Pocket Mine, Ridiculous Fishing & Dice Jockey – Completed

Posted on 25/04/2014 Written by gospvg

After a couple of months of playing this & on top of most of the leaderboards it is time to call it a day with Pocket Mine.

The last challenge was to top the deepest exploration leaderboard which I recently completed.

Ridiculous Fishing is very similar to Pocket Mine in that it is an endless depth challenge. Collect the fish to get the money to purchase upgrades.

Anyhow moving on ...

Dice Jockey was a lovely little Devil Dice clone but with only 30 puzzle levels it is very quickly completed leaving you with only the survival or time limit modes. It is a game which is easier to play with a controller when you are aiming for a high score or the clock is ticking down so with the puzzle mode completed it's done.

Trials Frontier – Unlimited Fuel

Posted on 24/04/2014 Written by gospvg

A recent mission introduce a new boost item which allows unlimited fuel for 60 minutes !!

Perfect item for some quick cash boosting or part collecting.

Only downside is that to purchase another of these items I need 120 gems. Thankfully the slot machine & the tier 2 tracks reward you with quite a few gems so if I wanted to save up 120 it would not take too long.

With the recent new Jackal bike and quite a few upgrades to the earlier bikes I'm now revisiting the earlier tracks to get some gold medals.

There is of course the time clock cheat to refill your fuel tank by advancing the system time by an hour to recharge your tank but I don't get more than 15 or 20 mins to play during the day which I prefer to spend on the slot machine tracks for earning more money/gems or the missions tracks.

Euro Truck Simulator 2: get out of the way

Posted on 23/04/2014 Written by Xexyz

My word, this is amusing. I'm hopeless at it though - reversing into the spaces is just hilariously bad. Cars seem to have a habit of driving into my side as well, meaning that each trip is earning me not much money.
