Loser!

Starcraft drought.

I really don't know what's going on but I'm really struggling to get any wins on sc2 lately. Just finished a game and got absolutely torn to shreds by a huge group of void rays, I tried to counter (as protoss) but was no good there were just too many of them. My scouting was hampered due to large numbers of turrets in and around their base. It's all getting rather frustrating now.

Can't win as protoss or terran races and im always a bit intimidated of playing zerg but maybe it's time I learnt!

I'm currently ranked about 90th in Bronze! Seriously one of the worst players that is still playing. Grrr

Settlers 7

Been checking out the fantastic Settlers 7 recently. It is the most chilled out game I've ever played. Everything moved at a real slow pace as a small collection of buildings turns into a bustling town which can can grow into a collection of busy cities. Its the perfect game to play on your computer whilst watching the Telly.

The graphics are great with wonderful attention to detail on all of the little businesses.

Check it out people.

Alan Wake - completed

The past week, following playing through Uncharted 3, I've been playing through Microsoft's Alan Wake.

The game follows a writer as he battles dark forces in an out of the way American community. The story is really well told throughout and kept me coming back everyday eager to find out what was going to happen next. The gameplay consists mainly of 3rd person shooting with added depth thanks to the requirement of damaging your enemies first with light before they can take damage from a weapon. This makes for some intense battles using torches, flares, flashbangs etc to great effect. A particular highlight was an amazing battle on an old school rock and roll stage complete with masses of pyrotechnics and swarms of enemies approaching. Of particular mention in this game is the lighting effects which are absolutely stunning.

The game ended reasonably well but I must admit I am somewhat confused by it. It has succeeded however in making me keen to play it's soon to be released sequel.
