The gaming diary

I dug out my PC version of GTA 3 and downloaded a few cars for it. I got an Austin Mini and cringed at the creator saying one of the styles had an "English" flag on the roof. I just knew it would be a Union Flag. And it was. I then found out how to modify the handling so I got a really fast Mini that rolls a hundred times at he slightest touch of the steering.

I've been playing The Godfather and I have to say I like this game alot better than any of the GTA games I've played.

-Played some more Geist. Great game that is.
-Got a little further in Twilight Princess.

I played on my NES tonight. I got to the fourth game but it wouldn't go all the way in. I took the NES to bits, bent a few pins and checked the cartridge would slot in ok. It did so I put it all back together. When I tried plugging the cartridge in again it wouldn't fit. Bum.

So I went back to tweaking my Mini in GTA3. I found out how I should set the suspension, so now it's steady at high speeds. The fastest car in the game has a setting of about 240 speed and 30 acceleration, my Mini is set to 500 speed and 200 acceleration. I've been having fun just doing insane stunts. I got one jump to about 700 feet, which gave me $2,500. While I was messing with the settings the Mini at one point would fly up into the air as soon as I touched it. I managed to get into one, then it bounced and did a 12,500 degree spin which gave me $25,000.

ICO is awesome!

Went to Den's last night for multiplayer. Played Guitar Hero 2, Def Jam: FFNY, Halo 2, Flatout 1, and some Test Drive: EoD.

Crackdown for 360. BE WARNED: This is a highly addictive game...you wont want to put it down! I played it for 5 hours easily yesterday, and I'd probably still be playing it if it weren't for the fact that I needed to get at least some sleep for work this morning.

cverz2, Ico is incredible. If you like that one, then pick up Shadow of the Colossus. It's made by the same people who did Ico.

man, I've been hooked on GTA: San Andreas for a week now.  Now its time to shift down to something else.  I'm gonna try and plow through Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures now.  I'm loving the visual style because it takes the sprites, and some of the classic puzzles from Link to the Past.

We agree on something! Cool.
