That must be it! Kryll. And nope. Haven't been on the mine cart yet. But I have this image of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in my head right now.

I play Minecraft in survival mode with restrictions. So not too many enemies. Enderman? I assume you are referring to that tall black shadowy figure. Yes I have encountered him / them too many times!

I just started Dead Island Game Of The Year Edition. I just needed something to blow off some steam.

Just Googled it. Looks like an interesting game.

The game itself is alright. I'm not that far yet. You're on an island where something happened and everyone has turned into zombies. You get to choose out of five characters to play. I started as Logan one of the tourists there who seems to be immune from the outbreak. But it still all takes a little getting used to. I'm taking on all this missions but I never got a closer look yet on how to best fulfill them and they're piling up. Well, plenty to do than. It's nice but I have no full opinion yet.

Okay cool.

I've played a little bit of Dead Island. After Left 4 Dead, I kinda got tired of zombie games. I used to have a friend that LOOOVED zombie games... but he was a jerk, so I have a major distaste of zombie related stuff now. But, that's a story for another day. haha

I've actually been in the mood for Red Dead Redemption, which I just heard is next to be made compatible for the Xbox One. YES!!

And as promised, a tour of my Minecraft world. I made "most" of what's there, except for my friend's houses. My friend Michelle helped with the monorail track.

Red Dead Redemption is a good game, but released years ago on PS3.

Yeah, I've had it on the Xbox 360, along with Undead Nightmare. It's supposed to be backwards compatible soon, so I can play the 360 version on my One, which will be nice. I really want Resident Evil 4 to be next on that list, because I LOOOOVE that game so much. But, knowing Capcom, they're probably just remaster it... again.

Speaking of, I hear they're remaking Resident Evil 2... that should be interesting. They haven't had a decent Resident Evil game since Shinji Mikami left.

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 comes out on Tuesday, so I'll be playing that next week. Weee!!!

Dead Island sure is harder than I thought. The missions contains various difficulty degrees varying from very easy to very hard. The Thug zombies are very strong and often protecting the goods you need. Not everything is very clear and neither is the map to find stuff. Sure there a signs like exclamations marks or flags but it's not always very clear what is what? You might get a sidemission during the game, you can do nothing about until you reach a certain point in the main game. And I kinda miss guns to blow them away. There are weapons though like, paddles, bats, knives, hammers and I had one gun but didn't mean anything. There are also workbenches that can help you fix and upgrade weapons and even make a few of your own.

Been sick as a dog so haven't had much time to play ANYTHING! But maybe might have some time to play something on the weekend.

I rarely play any computer games, unless I am in a dead boring situation waiting for something/someone - like waiting for the channel tunnel crossing at the weekend. Then I have a few that I will occupy myself with for a few minutes. Out of choice I like Diamond Blast (just for the sheer inane 'click the screen mentality' of it) or the brain test games like re-clicking the numbers on the screen in ascending order once they disappear, or remembering a pattern and repeating it in a given time. I'm not into the 'shoot 'em up' things.

Good for you, Maclover!

You're either into it or not. Growing up I was pretty much in it; Game Boy, Sega Masters System II, PC games, Playstation 1. Then grew out of it and than slowly came back into it. And I'm pretty much into everything. But I mostly like adventure games, horror and war games. But I don't consider myself an hardcore gamer. Right now I'm playing my first game in two months. If I'm tired of it, I just turn it off and put it away.

Well some good news is that I finally managed to get a hard drive for my Xbox.

Should arrive on Monday and then I can finally start on some of those other titles such as Alien Isolation & Metal Gear.

More so, I can also start playing some old Xbox (Original console) games such as the first Buffy game! Woohoo!!!

I finished Dead Island but it was a little too frustrating for me. The game story wasn't that well written and the Australian accents kinda bothered me. Pity.

I also died a lot. A whole lot that I nearly threw my controller at the television. I nearly gave up when I reached the final act but decided to continue after all and was glad the game was over shortly after. Despite the good reception of the game, I'm not in favor of the game unfortunately.

Good for you, MG.

Games can outright drive me insane too. I'm surprised my equipment is still intact.

I think I kinda underestimated the game and to what I was expecting. I just wanted something I could finish fast. Guess I just took the wrong game.

Then whatever you do, do NOT play Final Fantasy.

I don't even have it.

Good. GOOD!!!

I have a lot of friends that have tried to get me in Final Fantasy... I don't think I have the strength, or the money. lol

Garden Warfare 2 has been a LOT of fun. My one friend and I have been playing it a LOT since it came out. Seriously, we've spent the past three days playing it almost non-stop... well, except for sleep, work, eating... that sort of stuff. Garden Ops is really frustrating though, we need a third player. My other friend, who normally takes that spot, is offline as she tries to relocate. She won't be around for a while. I miss her already...

I visited your Twitch page Jedi. Saw your Minecraft video too. Very cool!

You guys don't have to avoid the Final Fantasy games like the plague. There is a reason they have made about 20 of them and its all good. The stories are fantastic and the depth is out of this world. Easily my favourites have to be 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10. The best part is that you don't even have to start at the beginning because every FF game is a new story with different characters. So even if you pick up FF 13, its all good.

The gameplay and level of open world exploration is HUGE and can easily put its rivals to shame.

Then you get the graphics. Each game puts the previous one in their coffin.

If you like fantasy, great humour, great storytelling, Anime and brilliant gameplay, try a FF game. It will surprise you.

Here is a trailer to the PS2 classic FF10.


This was an awesome game. The story, the music, the graphics, the gameplay. still stays with me after all these years.

Now I'm playing Medal of Honor Airborne. Already finished two campaigns. This is was more my kinda game I was looking for. However dying far ahead or near a new checkpoint is bad because you can start all over again as the defenses are difficult to beat. I'm playing on normal mode by the way.

I've finally connect my console to Live since I now have the hard drive. And its been cool. I'm sure you have al been doing this for years but I'm new to this.

Actually not really. I never attached my PS3 to the internet. That is strictly for watching films and playing the main games. If I get to PS4 I'd probably change that.

Okay now I don't feel so bad.

Cool, cool! I love that the Xbox One is Twitch stream ready. I've been wanting stream game play for some time, but never had the right equipment. I usually stream when I'm by myself only because if I have friends in the party with me, it causes tons of lag.... which I have a lag problem as it is. lol

Welcome to XBL! lol Don't feel too badly, we all had to start somewhere. When I first got on XBL, I didn't know what I was doing. lol I very new to the whole online gaming scene, so I was pretty terrified. Thankfully, my friend Kat (aka Krauser) stuck it out with me and we played co-op games together. She and I have been good friends for over a decade.

Good to know.

I was quite lucky yesterday. Went to my local second hand dealer who had Fallout New Vegas & Mass Effect Limited Edition Trilogy pack with him! The condition of the box for the trilogy is atrocious but the discs seem okay. So despite owning Mass Effect 1, I managed to get 2 & 3 too.

Needless to say, there will be gaming this weekend. Not sure when. But ill make a plan!

I think I'm already in the final mission of Medal of Honor Airborne. I really think it's a shame there aren't any more WWII games out there, perhaps maybe Wolfenstein for PS3. They should rerelease Medal of Honor for PS3 and 4. And I do mean the WWII games not the modern warfare stuff.

Would love to get a WWII Medal of Honour-ish kinda game for Xbox 360. Anybody recommend one that is the best?
