A new beginning...

 Right, I'm going to try and write one post per week, actually writing about games I'm playing (viedogames, boardgames, and tabletop games) rather than simply listing them!

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 =+)

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...

Wolfenstein: The New Order finished! Also Arkham Asylum, plus board games

This week I managed to finish (not saying "complete" as i only played one of the 2 timelines, and did not get all of the collectibles) Wolfenstein: The New Order.  I had to consult a walkthrough again for the final boss fight - it's split into 3 main kind of sections, the first is fine, once you know what to do, but the second part is really tricky. I gave it several attempts before I (embarrassingly) had to turn the difficutly down to the lowest level! But i didn't want to spend a lot of time trying it because I have plenty of other singleplayer games that need playing.  However for the last section i handled it fine at the next-lowest difficulty, which is the one I played most of the game on.  I originally began playing on "normal" difficulty but turned it down a notch when I reached the first level that requries some steath - the one where you find more knives and get the ability to throw them. Having finished it, for now I have no desire to either go ba...
