Game Diary 16 July – A round up of what the Curiousonion team has been playing

Battlefield 1943 – Being a big fan on online shooters I jumped at the opportunity to buy this game. For a relatively small download of 500Megs the game offers impressive graphics and a great online experience. I must say that I suck at the game and I’m going to need to put in a good few hours before I’ll click with it but for now I’m having fun running around as a easy picking target.

Ghost Busters – I’m a huge fun of the movies and the game does them credit. It has a great soundtrack and because the original movie cast reprised their roles in the game it has a really authentic feel and opens the flood gates to nostalgia. I definitely recommend the game to anyone who is a fan of the movies.

Battlefield 1943 – I was a big fan of Battlefield Bad Company, so when i found out about this game using the same game engine I knew I would love it. I haven’t been disappointed either, having been previously addicted to BF1942 back in the day everything feels familiar and man I love Wake Island, its the perfect multiplayer map. For 10 quid you can’t really got wrong, its a great laugh especially if your playing with a few mates!

Battlefield 1943 – Like many gamers out there, I’m currently hooked racking up as many kills as possible in the latest edition to the franchise. Can’t fly a plane to save my life but watch you backs (and your heads) because I’m a heck of a shot with the sniper rifle.

Damnation - Thought I’d give this a whirl after hearing some not so good things about it. I tend to like games others don’t, yet this is one I couldn’t find anything positive about. So much so, I couldn’t even push myself to play till the end. Be warned folks, don’t pick this game up. You’ll have more fun on Hannah Montana (which isn’t a lie).

Crash Commando – Think of Warhawk – but re-envision it as a 2D shooter. That, my friends, is what Crash Commando is! It might not have the depth or customisation of Warhawk (nor the vehicles) but there’s plenty of fun to be had. It’s a bargain price and has quite a bit of replayability for a PSN title.

inFAMOUS – I’ve been playing this game one hour at a time and thus it’s taken so long. Still, it’s an incredibly enjoyable game worth being in every PS3 owner’s library.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger – From the creators of the Guilty Gear games comes a super slick 2D fighter with loads of depth. It’s fast and frantic and very much like it’s predecessors and looks beautiful with it’s hand drawn HD sprites. Just trying to master Ragna at the moment but I’m looking forward to learning to play with some of the other characters as well since they’re all really unique.

Battlefield 1943 - This game came out on Thursday for PSN and I brought it straight away without trying the trial version. I was hoping I had not made a mistake but have always really liked the Battlefield Titles. This game is awesome, so much going on at one time. Your air raid sirens going off, massive bomb being drop as your standing right on that spot. Just a great fun PSN game!

Call Of Juarez: Bound In Blood – I like cowboy games and I am look forward to Red Dead Redemption coming out from Rockstar. So rather than wait I see that Call of Juarez had come out, from the screen shots it looked rather good and when playing it, it still looks rather good. I haven’t played this much but I am enjoying it, it will get me by until Rockstar bring Red Dead Redemption out!
