Hi, to anyone who remembers me, and hi to anyone who doesn`t! Bit of a mixed topic this, mostly because I haven't been around for some time, and have a few things to talk about which are spread over a long period of time. Anyway, here goes:
Final Fantasy X-2 - I subscribe to PSM2, and saw the two FFX2 videos on the last DVD. I remember thinking with Final Fantasy 7 that if I hadn't given the game a chance, that I would really have missed something special, so I'm determined not to be put off by some of the strange new things that have been added. I'll wait and see how the games turn out, and hope for the best.
However, one thing that really deserves a mention, or rather one person, Rikku. Okay, its sad I know, but forget Lara Croft, if you want to fall for a computer generated character, then you should really check out Rikku!
Enter The Matrix - Having seen the second movie, and knowing that the game tries hard to stick to a similar style, I'm guessing the game is all about action, and tends to forget about keeping the details and plot flowing nicely. Still, for a game of this kind, it probably won't matter, but I still haven't seen a review yet, so I really don't know. I had a read through the Matrix topic, and that's only put more doubt in my mind. It seemed quite shallow, even if it was fun for a few hours. Anybody got any trustworthy review scores?
TimeSplitters 2 - The reason I've been posting less recently is exams, again! However, for breaks during long days of revision, it was fun to turn on the old PS2 and give TS2 a go for a while. It had been on pause for some time, but I really found myself getting back into it. I still have a couple of challenges to bring up to gold, but I really feel like the game has come a long way. One thing I am curious about though is the platinum medals. I have several, but they are all in arcade league, honorary and elite. I was wondering if there were any in beginner series, or more importantly, in challenge mode.
I was beginning to doubt there were platinums in either - I thought 120,000 in behead the undead was pretty good, but I have heard rumours that 150,000 is the mark. As for beginner series, I've completed challenges in less than a quarter of the time, but still received no medal. I really hope the game doesn't expect you to get all the platinums, because if so, I'll probably never complete it!
Ah well, anything else been happening?
