Video Games

That being said, I'm enjoying the game. Can't wait till I find a silencer for my 10mm.

So I managed to kill him pretty easily first go. I ran back to the right behind a pillar, then just head shot him to death with the 10mm. I'm pretty sure he bugged though as he didn't move.

oh if it did that for horatio, seems I was just quick enough with headshots to keep him still

Still can't kill the bastard...
Got 10mm pistol and machine pistol
i'm just too slow probaly
these video games clearly aren't for the elderly

put game on easy, and enjoy the story... dunno if I have a save going that far back any more :(

thought of that.

(I did beat halo 1 on legendary in the day)

Or i could start again and ditch the 'no killing' rule, become a mean mother... and go see him with a rocket launcher. That'll teach the c*nt

I think I EMP grenaded him first, then a rocket, then another rocket and I think that's all it took.

Was a bit rubbish though.

Completed it yesterday, started again straight away. Exploring everything, hacking every computer I see. Would have thought I'd have more praxis points by now, but they seem hard to get, even if you do as much as you can?

you cannot get them all, so you have to pick and choose what augs you get

The second boss is just as much of a ball ache as the first. Doing some reading, it turns out certain augs make it a cake-walk. If you don't have those augs, it's pretty tough. Bit of a disappointment for what is meant to be a very open ended game. Still pretty awesome, and pretty rad there's a Montreal level (shame it all takes place in the Big O! - well, as far as I've played, anyway).

Well I had almost everything bar a couple of eye things, radar things, and typhoon, oh and maybe silent jumping, without exploring/hacking much... can you really not max out?

(upsetting)

gonna swap out my ps3's hard drive this week, managed to borrow a large enough hard drive, from the most high velocio, and will be jumping from 60gb to a mahoosive 500gb. But I am confused by how much space 36gb is being taken up by game saves and system updates. I have no idea how people with the smaller hard drived versions are getting along...

Will probably try to play a couple of games after the operation is complete as well.

Don't forget the downloadable content that also take up quite a bit of space.

Nearly filled my 60GB on the xBox.

I finished with a bunch of unspent praxis points. The press guide that came with the pre-release said you cannot get them all, so I believed them and was very careful spending. With hindsight, I wish I hadn't have been and bought some of the other toys.

They all needed to be 'more awesome' I reckon.

Nothing felt 'im bionic, and mint'... stupid battery system mainly I think.

First thing I upgraded was the batteries.

I've had a shitload of fun with the 'punch through walls' move. That made me feel like a bit of a badass.

Wow mark, you've overtaken me! I haven't reached the 2nd boss yet. Still in Shanghai/hengshin island or whatever it's called.

I'm definitely going to start the game again as soon as i finish as well, if only just to fucking find the god damn hostages in the first mission.

I still think the story was very good, really enjoyed it.

I agree that the augs arn't as much fun as say Infamous 2, where you can destroy shit loads at once. However, the augs are a little more realistic

Realism in a game is facial annimation. I want to fuck shit up in style ;-)

Well next game I'm reviewing is Driver SF... I wanted Dead Island, but my Editor said it was unfair that I kept getting the AAA titles..

Driver SF looks pretty cool though, and I'm currently sat in SF so hopefully will try get some photographs of the routes before I return to try the game out

Let us know if it's any good.

Loved Driver 1.

Playing on "Give me Deus Ex" mode, finding it a nice challenge, trying to stealth most of it (after getting a load of grief from NPCs about my bloodbath in the first mission).

The first boss was a pain - but eventually took him out with 3 remote explosives, an EMP grenade and a rocket. For all the fact that Jensen is meant to be a stealthy, agile sumbitch, he doesn't move around well enough - I'd like a roll into cover move to supplement the cover to cover roll really..

Wow mark, you've overtaken me! I haven't reached the 2nd boss yet. Still in Shanghai/hengshin island or whatever it's called.

I had an all day session on Sunday (which I skipped a polo tournament for. Whoops!), and an all evening sessions on Tuesday night when my girlfriend was out having work drinks. Because I work from home, I have to be super careful not to start playing during the day. Got maybe two hours in yesterday?

And on a day like today, I have to be more careful not to just go out and start drinking in the park!

But yeah, I'm gutted you couldn't actually play in Montreal as a city. Would have been AWESOME. Maybe DLC at some point.

DLC is in the works apparently.

I've never played Driver, but been checking out video footage of this one. It looks pretty good, although the whole shifting thing is a bit strange.

I've skipped reading all the above to avoid any spoilers. Needless to say, HMV are 'still allocating stock' like a bunch of fucks.

Might just cancel my order and go to Game at lunchtime tomorrow and get the regular edition.

I dunno the advantage of any "limited" type versions, the press copy had no extra's and I still really enjoyed it
