20th May: GS Update

Played some more VT3 - got to world rank 200. It still seems ok - the tournaments are getting harder though.


Some BF2:MC to start with. Played some single player and online multiplayer - didnt get far in single player, though enjoyed multiplayer. The server I was playing on just kept playing the same map over and over :S

Still trying to get some of the NHL 2K7 achievements. It's easy enough to play on Pro difficulty and win if you set the sliders the correct way, but for some reason, the 5 Pro shutouts in a row achievement wasn't unlocking. Got the Pro Season win/best record achievement though.

Also played some Pro evo. Still going through my England league, now 15 games in. Tried to also get my GK to no.1 on the scoring list. At the minute he's 3rd, behind by two strikers =D

I took FM06 out of the shrink wrap today, hoping it would be a good FM game. Now I'm the sort of person who enjoys his manager games, as long as they aren't complicated, and you can do a season in about an hour. Unfortunately, the controls on FM06 are appalling, they try and fit too much text on the screen, and it'll take a good solid 24hrs to do a season. Bleh. I did the easy achievements - win a game, keep a clean sheet, get a hat-trick. Also got messaged to play some games online, so I got the 5 games, win cup and win league achievements there too. This game has too many loading screens, and is not customisable enough.

Put in Tetris:Evolution for some good old single player. Its just like I remember - hours on end, just making some lines disappear. They've put in some new modes, which make the game better =D Though it is pretty easy on standard mode to go up levels, thus making it harder, quicker. I was able to get some of the achievements - a couple of golds and some bronzes - in a couple of hours.

Day results - Opened up a new game, and played some co-op.
