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.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS)

Posted on Written by

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate box artIt appears dem monsters need hunting once again. I was a bit suspicious of how this would play, particularly with regards the camera, but as it happens it controls beautifully and doesn’t require The Claw Of Death like the PSP version did.

So, it’s Monster Hunter – you know how it works. There’s Monsters. And you Hunt them. While upgrading and crafting and so on. It’s still got the learning curve we all know and love from the series, but that’s not a bad thing. It’s also very pretty.

What is completely lacking, though, is standalone online multiplayer in the 3DS version. Given the PSP version (Freedom Unite) had it 5+ years ago, this is pretty bloody unforgivable. On the upside, those of us with a Wii-U (I don’t have one) can transfer saves to and fro between the Wii-U version (which DOES have online) and the 3DS. I don’t know what they omitted the non-local multiplayer. Seems a bit stupid. Still, the upside is it’s given me the reason I needed to buy a Wii-U.

Anyway – it’s a diary, so progress. I’m just starting out. Ganked some Jaggia, collecting some mushrooms.

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.
