  • Online leaderboard for Geometry Wars RE2

    Posted on Aug. 14, 2008 at 21:55 +0200 Tagged with , , , , ,

    Nice, Bizzard Creations has now also put the leaderboard for Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 online. Flash ... but better than nothing :-) Now I just have to get a higher score in all, I guess, all modes. Lurking around in the lower 50,000 isn't all that nice.

    I already thought that my 800 MS space bucks were already well invested, but with an online leaderboard, I really have to start getting into the higher score-ranges ... Sometimes achievements simply aren't good enough.

  • Burnout Paradise

    Posted on Feb. 22, 2008 at 23:58 +0100 Tagged with , , , ,

    Burnout Paradise is probably one of the biggest time-suckers of all times. Since I bought it about 3 weeks ago, I've been spending most of my free time on it. So far it took me about 25 hours to complete around 65% of the game. It was definitely a risky move by Criterion to make Burnout more an open-world game, but at least for me, Burnout Paradise could become my favorite installment of the franchise. I started with Burnout 2 on the Playstation 2 and so far only missed out Burnout Dominator, which I still plan to get, but none of them (perhaps with the exception of Burnout 3 got me that excited).

  • Back again!

    I'm not really a fan of Microsoft's products and so far only had not so great experience with their support, but this time it's different. About a week ago I wrote about my Xbox360 leaving home for the next Microsoft support center ...

  • Xbox 360 R.I.P.

    So it has hit me too. The wave of Xbox360 failures ... or actually it hit my 360 ;-) If you've followed my Jaiku feed you have probably noticed my rambling about that box over the last week or so (basically since I returned from my trip to the Czech Republic and Germany).

  • Crashing Gears

    Posted on Dec. 8, 2006 at 20:54 +0100 Tagged with , ,

    OK, it's not like "Gears of War" is crashing all the time ... in fact this was the first crash I've noticed so far, but this one was definitely at a quite inconvenient time :) I was just fighting the berserker and actually bet it, but the orbital laser also hit me on its way through the beast ... so I died. But at the same time, the mission objective of killing the berserker was accomplished which was perhaps to much for Gears' application logic ;-)

    I was kind of funny: Yeeeey, she's dead .... meeeeh, me too.

  • Me, Kameo, my Xbox360 and I

    Posted on Dec. 3, 2006 at 12:35 +0100 Tagged with ,

    Ok, it's been quite quiet for the last couple of days. But contrary to all the rumors that I've been playing Xbox360 all day and all night, I had quite a lot of stuff to do for University so actually not all the much gaming for me so far. But this weekend I finally changed that and first of all, finally restored my previous savegame for Kameo (for some reason when you first create an account on your Xbox and then try to import a Gamertag from Xbox Live you end up with 2 different accounts :-? ). I've also got some achievements for Geometry Wars , but first things first.

    So far I really enjoy Kameo. It's basically exactly what I've expected of it: A fun action adventure with some cute little animal friends. I think it was in the EGM review that someone criticized it for more or less just emulating what made games from Nintendo great, for example the Morphball in the Metroid series. Actually, I don't see the similarity there. The ball in Kameo for me doesn't feel like the Morphball at all. It's very similar to the dash movements of Sonic in the Sonic Adventure series, but absolutely no Metroid in there ... Btw.: I loved the dashes in Sonic Adventure 1 and 2, so I also enjoy Major Ruin in Kameo :-)

  • s/Wii/Xbox360

    Posted on Nov. 27, 2006 at 22:56 +0100 Tagged with , , , ,

    Well, now it finally happened. I'm fed up enough with the Nintendo Wii launch lineup to simply get something else. The Xbox360 to be more precise. Why? For me one single interesting game (Twilight Princess) with the next few to be released in ... 5 months (Mario Galaxy) is simply not worth 250 EUR for me. This doesn't mean that I won't get it at all. It just means, that I will probably wait until March when there are at least 3 games out there that I want.
