Currently Playing in 2014....

Spider-Man: Friend or Foe Demo

Pretty boring. Only 4 buttons? Might be worth a £5 if it's about cheap

Star Trek Legacy Demo

Ok...Not a patch on Bridge Commander - how was I meant to know which weapons were in range?
Again worth a cheap punt

Also, the best I've managed to get size-wise is about half of what I need. Apparently a suggestion is to go through the previous levels multiple times so I can get more planets. I really wasn't expecting to have to re-play the previous levels.

You don't have to re-play the previous levels to complete the level, it's just easier if you do as there will be more in space for you to collect.

It definitely helps if you have the DLC stages, as they can really make a difference.

Though it's hardly a long game - I'm not sure why you're complaining at having to replay the levels, as you must have barely reached the size target on most of them if you're really only that small when you've picked up all the planets. And the whole idea is that the levels are replayable because there are plenty of presents/cousins/other stuff to collect.

(Also, you can roll around for ages in space picking up space dust, which adds to your total size.)

I was going to play through the previous levels again to re-collect things, but I would have liked to have been able to complete the level without having to replay previous levels in order to do so. But I'll need to since I'm not as good at the game as I would like to be. At least it's going to add a bit more to game, which is a bonus.

As for the DLC, what's it like, and is it worth the points?

Finally got myself an old Xbox again to play Galleon, my most favouritest of the Xbox games. I must admit it hasn't aged amazingly well in terms of visuals and the control scheme takes a while to re-adjust to, but it's still lovely.

I'm still taking my time with Final Fantasy V Advance, just a great game.

And I've no officially got the CoD4 multiplayer bug again after having not played it in about 3 months. Currently on Level 51 first time through and according to the in-game clock I've played online for roughly 50 hours. Still absolutely superb fun online.

It's a bit of a rip-off really - considering the levels are in the game code, with the DLC merely activating them - but some of the levels are better than others in the main game.

Perhaps I found it easy because I completed We Love Katamari. I think if you're a Katamari noob, then Beautiful probably feels harder. I do think it's probably the hardest of the bunch (except the PSP game, but that's because the controls are crap).

I'll probably leave the DLC for now then and just work my way through the main game. I'll probably be tempted soon enough by the DLC though since there are some non-DLC achievements which actually need the DLC.

I find Beautiful Katamari pretty easy, as well bit disappointing. It's good game still, but feels short compared to PS2 version. And lack of variety IMO.

Still worth getting..and it's getting rare these days (I think).

Anyway, been playing Persona 3. Why the hell isn't my Charm/Courage/Academies skill isn't raised? Sodding strict system.

Condemned 2, The first one was miles better and more unsettling, too much of this slowing down fighting gooseberry fool, whereas the first one was all in the game if you know what i mean, last level but its not as bad as some people make out, just not as good as the first one.

Started playing GTA IV again tonight and got through Three Leaf Clover. \o/

I started playing Uncharted: Drake's Fortune last night.

I quite like it.

Played my first video game in over a week this morning, Galaga Legions. Which is an amazing update for the series. I'll play it more once I am feeling better though.

Had a wave of nostalgia and had to dig F-Zero out

I've started playing Splinter Cell: Double Agent (picked up for a tenner) Not bad, only scratched the first episode. Also playing Beijing 2008, button basher FTW!

Not touched my PSP for ages.

Send it Martyn's way so he can play Crisis Core. If he hasn't already got one.

He's done and dusted that ages ago!

Playing Lord of the Rings Online along with PES2008 and trying to start Alpha Centauri up at the moment. Might try and go back to GTA4 as I just completed the

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja.

I like it. It seemed quite faithful to the series so far, which is good. The side missions haven't been that good so far as they've all involved coin collecting, but I'm sure they'll get better.

Exactly what stopped me playing, I too just managed to do it, and now I am back on course.

Even with all the annoying phone calls
