Well, i finished Skate today which i have mixed feelings about. As you may have read previously, i didn't enjoy the challenges much, at all, they were too frustrating. However i did manage to get them all done, or a sufficient amount to "finish" the game. Only now i've finished, the game feels a bit empty.

Well, i finished Skate today which i have mixed feelings about. As you may have read previously, i didn't enjoy the challenges much, at all, they were too frustrating. However i did manage to get them all done, or a sufficient amount to "finish" the game. Only now i've finished, the game feels a bit empty. Skating around is losing its fun, and online is just an unclimbable mountain. I must admit playing with a friend last night, locally, was the most fun i've had on a game in a long time though, so maybe i should just get people round to play it. How have you guys found it after finishing?

Couple of other things, i downloaded the Bad Company and Dark Sector demoes, out of interest/lack of anything else to do more than anything. Bad company was fun, but it really didn't seem like a game i could get stuck into, i just felt like i was following commands that didn't really effect much, and that everything was exploding no matter what i did. I was actually really impressed with Dark Sector, and i thik this is because my expectations were SO SO low. I'd just heard such mediocre things about it, and the glaive is surprisingly fun. The shooting left a bit to be desired and the level did get a bit stale, so i think i'll be avoiding purchasing it.

Does anyone have Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction? I LOVED the first ratchet and clank but the newer ones have all seemed a bit emptier and more focussed on gunplay, whereas i'm a platforming man at heart. Is TOD any different/good? I'm contemplating buying it becuase it's only £14.99 preowned on Amazon which is a great deal if it's worth it.

(also gonna nail a bunch of hitchcock tonight as i can't sleep)


This looks quality:
