October Now Playing Update - Part 1

Time for another collection of thoughts where I get keep track of where I am upto in the games I'm playing and whats next.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess I've not actually played Zelda for quite some time now. I'm struggling to remember exactly what the last temple I did was, I believe it was the Snow Mountain Temple thing with the Yeti and his wife. I know I've got to move onto the Sacred Meadow and then do one of the two final temples. I really should complete this otherwise its going to end up another unfinished Zelda game.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas I'm still upto the same spot I was at during my last Now Playing update, the entrance to Dante's Casino, after the traverse through the bell tower in the dark. RB6V is another game thats taken a back seat to all the new fresh games that I've got. I guess I should hurry finishing this so I can move onto Call of Duty 3, which I also want to complete before I get Call of Duty 4.

BioShock One of the greatest games ever crafted in my opinion. I'm upto the part where the tree's have just been killed by Ryan and I've got to get to this woman, I forget, its been a couple of weeks! :)

Stuntman Ignition I tried at first to get 5 stars for every level before moving on, I got the first 5 through some great struggle and the final level of the first Movie is too long to attempt to get a 5 star, so I decided to just push on with the bare minimum for each level and progress through the story. I've gotten as far as the second to last movie, I need to unlock another 10-15 movie stars before I can progress to the final movie which is called the "Night Avenger" sort of a batman movie. Looking forwarding to finishing this one.

Skate I got Skate literatlly a few days before Halo 3, so I played through past how far the demo lets you and went exploring, the city is HUGE and I know skate will give me a lot of fun when I eventually get round to it. Another one I'm truly looking forward to.

The Orange Box Just got this today and played Half-Life 2 for about 30 mins, just enough to get to the manhacks section in the sewers. The game looks like the PC version on highest settings, so looking forward to getting to Episode One and Two. I've played Portal for about 1 hour and 30 mins and I'm in the last level which is very fun. The game is brilliant, just so short. Team Fortress 2 is fun, only had one game, takes a bit of getting used to compared to other FPS's but looks like it could be great fun.

Halo 3 I got and completed it fairly early, prompting my review. The campaign was very satisfying and Multiplayer is great with friends, but after several bad experiences online while alone, I'm refusing to play it with strangers for the time being. This saddens me as I forked out for the limited edition which isn't that great in the end anyway, should have gotten the normal one as the artwork is awesome plus it fits in my DVD rack which LE doesn't. I really want to compete online for more achievements, but with CoD4 around the corner, I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Project Gotham Racing 4 Just got PGR4 this week, at first I hated it, but it's really grown on me. Driving from the internal view is brilliant for the most part, only time it sucks is on motorbikes and in ferrari's where your arse must be on the floor plate as you're looking over a the steering wheel as its in your way too much. I've got high hopes for this game as I retire Forza 2, PGR4's calendar based season mode is exactly what I wanted following my renewed interest in F1 and season mode motorsport championships, come on Hamilton win it!!

I've also got several other games on the list to be completed, The Darkness, Splinter Cell Double Agent for Xbox 1, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, GRAW 2, Call of Duty 3, Tomb Raider Legend, Zelda Wind Waker & Zelda Ocarina of Time.
