Finished games of 2008

Inspired by a thread over at RLLMUK, I thought I would have a look back at the games I spent time playing, and finishing over 2008. From what I can remember…

Army of two
Beautiful Katamari
Braid
Bully: Scholarship Edition
Cabela’s Big Game Hunter 2008
CSI: Hard Evidence
Dark Sector
Fable 2
Fable 2: Pub games
Force Unleashed
Frontlines: Fuel of War
Gears of War 2
Grand Theft Auto 4
Kung Fu Panda
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
Madden NFL 07
Stranglehold
TMNT
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise

… were all finished, although I’m sure there have been some others that I have forgotten (taking into account the MASSIVE DAMAGE, 19405 achievements points gained in 2008) so I thought I would keep track of what I’m playing, and ultimately finishing in 2009.

Watch this space.

Mostly been playing… 8th August 2008

The Uncharted: Drakes Fortune patch went out on Monday, which enabled Trophy’s into the game. I’ve had Uncharted a while now, but knowing the Trophy support was coming, I decided to hold off so I could start whoring them. Behold:

Trophy get!

Trophy get!

The full Trophy list is here. Check out ps3trophies.org for latest PS3 Trophy details.

I also picked up Braid on XBLA this week, which is excellent. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, and I don’t want to give too much away, but if you haven’t tried the demo, download it and check it out. Highly recommended.
