Update 68: September 9th to 19th

And lady luck still reigns supreme O_O Another update and another winning streak. At least I am winning games I like ;)
This time around I did not fininish that many games since I spent most of my time on Tales of Symphonia.

Half-Life 2

Can't really say anything about the game. The servers got shut down soon after I won the game shrug

Half-Life 2

Tales of Symphonia

7/10
56.3 hours
9 of 39 achievements

Overall this is a good game, pretty long winded at some points, others might find that charming ;) Though it got never to the point where I did not want to play any further. You have a great seelction of characters and skills to choose from, so it does not get boring. I had no problems with crashes or bugs.

Half-Life 2

Zoo Park

5/10
3.3 hours
no achievements

Very basic Zoo Tycoon clone. Basic animal research to unlock animals.
Negatives:

  • you can't rotate the zoo
  • no scenarios, the challenges are a nice touch, but not that great either to make me play more
Half-Life 2

Red Riding Hood - Star Crossed Lovers

7/10
2.9 hours
no achievements

Good HOG with very few typically HOG logic moments. You know the ones I am talking about, right? Things like: Oh you need a knife to cut the rope…yeah you have a sword in your inventory, but that won't cut the rope, because it can only be cut by that certain knife.
This game tells you the story of the red riding hood, but with a twist ;) It is at times humorous. I enjoyed myself.

Half-Life 2

Persian Nights: Sands of Wonders

7/10

Good HOG with beautiful visuals, a nice soundtrack and good voice over. The hidden object scenes are nicely done and we have a good fast traveling map that works well. The collectibles are a pain in the ass though. So I would recommend a guide for these since you cannot backtrack through the scenes.

Half-Life 2

Demon Hunter 4: Riddles of Light

5/10

Okay HOG, unfortunately you never know what you are really looking for and some of the puzzles come without good instructions. I had to check a walkthrough more than once with this one. Though at least the collectibles were easy to find in this one.

didn’t finish that many games? I’m sorry but it sure looks like you did a bunch
Oh I see that 1 was basically dropped though, to bad but hey 1 less win to deal with :D

samwise84

Well I finished 3 of them in the last two days to be fair. So yeah I had no done many when I wrote the intro :P

Most of the time when I can be bothered to write my comments before hand and I mention doing bad some how I end up doing good. Maybe thats the trick to doing your backlog, just say you aren’t
