I have been after this game for 18 months, ever since played it at R3play2010 whilst the game designer Jeff Minter watched. I really enjoy Llamasoft’s output, I even bought the console just so that I could play this game.
I just had an hour session on it, awesome shump and mega music. Everything I was hoping for, also some great power ups. The game is fast, but not to fast. I feel a real sense of achievement when I beat my last score or get to a new level. This is a MUST HAVE GAME, and I am so happy I now have it.
I could do with seeing if the console can be modded to support RGB output?, Off to shoot some enemy webs

Video of the family’s games room which has a mix of current and retro game systems, all systems connected and ready for play. My wife and our daughters use the room mainly to play Kinect (dance central, sports), my son uses it as his main video gaming room, that’s his xbox360 and skylanders figures. I use the room mainly to play coop with my son and to have a blast on the older games machines.

A list of the games that I enjoyed in 2011. The list only includes games I played during the year, and not the year they were released. Note there are some major titles that I have yet to play, such as ‘Dark Souls’, ‘Uncharted 3’
The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim : Thankfully I choose the Xbox360 version, I just love being in this world. The scale, scope and detail of this game is just remarkable. I see myself playing this for yrs
Bastion was strange, I first tried it mid-year for about 2 hrs. Thought it was good, but just didn’t bother going back to it. With all the end of year talk I thought I should have another go. I completed Crysis2 late one night and thought, i can give bastion a go. It got hold of me, and I ended playing it all through, only finishing at 3:30am in the morning on a work day :)
Loved the weapon levelling and the gameplay. People focus on the narration (which is good) but the strongest part of this game is its awesome gameplay
Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure: 2011 was the year I introduced my son to the StarWars Movies, apart from that awesome moment. The many hrs I played Skylanders with him was so bloody awesome, the game is solid and has great levelling mechanics with some awesome weapon upgrades. My son and I had a blast, we spent the day after boxing day desperately running around town looking for more characters. A great game for kids and adults alike
Side note, son completed it. The PC game you get for free is fun, My fav char = Trigger Happy
Singularity : Loved the story and gunplay, feels old skoolish, but in a good way. Raven delivered an engrossing single player FPS, solid gameplay loved the story and gunplay, feels old skoolish in a good way. Didn’t feel as bland as many of the current shooters. Raven delivered an engrossing single-player FPS, with solid gameplay that is consistent throughout. No real mega high-spots, but kept me interested and wanting more always.
I wish more FPS would be like this, as it doesn’t seem like they designed it by focus groups. But by the developers :)
