Games played 13-Dec to 19-Dec

This week, I have played a little more of Mark Of The Ninja - finally reached the next level/chapter And I played some of 1954 Alcatraz early in the week - Controlling Joe, I now have him in the infirmary area, where i've managed to get out of the hospital cell and acquire a bunch of various items from the nearby area. Mostly this week, though, I've been playing Max Payne 3, in which I finished the stadium level/chapter and the bar level/chapter, and am now someway through the following level (which is hot onthe tail of the kidnappers) And also I've played quite a bit on Goodbye Deponia, having now reached the point where Rufus gets thrown off the Organon ship and lands on the junk press.  I've managed to do all this this past week without having to look up even just a hint! So I'm feeling quite proud of myself for that =+)

More Wolfenstein and Torchlight 2

This week I have played some more on Wolfenstein: The New Order, getting quite a way into (i've already passed 2 large firefight sections) the last chapter/level, Death's Head's Compound.  They were 2 big firefights featuring a number of mechs, plus the heavily-armoured rocket launcher troops, in with the easier-to-kil standard troops and stormtrooper-type troops.  Luckily there were still enough ammo, health and armour pickups to help me survive (I'm guessing that playing on the "easy" difficulty as opposed to "normal" helps with the number of such pickups) In Torchlight 2, I reached the roof of Vyrax's Tower dungeon, and did managed to defeat the big-boy dragon.  It was tough going but actually some of the battles earlier in the dungeon got me to lower health than i ever did in this last battle of the dungeon.  I aslo did not manage to find all of the secret rooms, so I thnk I will return to it and have a proper search around now that all the ...

Games played 06-Dec to 12-Dec

On Tuesday, I played several 4-player boardgames online.  First up was Cacao, a kind of tile-placing game where you're just trying to earn money - the most money at the end wins.  There are various types of jungles tiles, which you earn actions and resources from, and then each player has the same set of meeple-labelled tiles (with different combinations of meeple counts on each edge).  You earn stuff from jungle tiles by having the most meeples pointing at it from adjacent meeple-labelled tiles.  I had not played it before, and came last.  It took me a while to get the hang of it too.  Netx up was Kingdomino, a nice simply tile-placement game, with several different colours of tiles, that you are trying to place on your own area so that each different-coloured area is continuous, as you score more points that way.  Somehow I managed to win this one, but it is a really simple-to-understand game! Finally we played Love Letter.  I'd played this befo...
