Temple Run - My Personal Best SUCKS !!

I beat my previous score of 121,680 by quite a bit, but my new score of 293,733 sucks when compared to the kids who have all managed to get past 1 Million !!! :(

There are sections of the platform which only have one thin line going down them & I always fail to react quickly enough or I get 2 obstacles in a row & usually hit the 2nd obstacle.

What's annoying is when you miss a power-up, I'm not going to quit yet. One small step at a time next target is to get to 300K

Wish me luck because I NEED IT !!

Lara Croft Guardian of Light - Completed

I started playing this with Abbas back in December 2010 & after running out of retail co-op games to play we have returned 16 months later to complete the game.

It a top down action puzzle affair, you take the role of Lara or Totec (a Mayan warrior) to defeat Xolotl & imprison him back in the Smoke of Mirrors.

You travel across various locations solving puzzles & collecting artefacts. Co-Op play is needed to solve some of the puzzles you come across & useful for reviving the other character if they have fallen in battle.

Easily a 5 or 6 hour campaign that leads you to the ultimate showdown against Xolotl.

There is a nothing new in co-op gaming to play from retail released games so we may have to stay with Xbox Live Arcade for our next game. We do have Portal 2 but I do not want to play that until I have completed the first game. Time for EA to release a new Army of Two game or Rainbow Six Vegas 3?

Splurge - March 2012

£55.09 spent in March mainly purchasing Mass Effect 3 for Abbas & Portal 2 to play at some point in the future after I have completed the first game.

Some Steam purchases in Indie Royale Bundle & Penny Arcade Adventures. After a long time a PS3 purchase in Flower & Grubbins on Ice DLC purchase for Costume Quest on XBLA.

Total YTD £327.96

Skyrim - Bye Bye Lydia

It was time to say goodbye to Lydia, after spending nearly 100 hours adventuring with her it was time to let her rest at Whiterun whilst I travelled the world with my new companion.

Draw Something - Javelin

In this Olympic year I show my lack of skill in drawing with Javelin, but the crowd seem very excited & colourful.

Scramble with Friends - New High Score

Only a few days ago I set a new high score of 1287, little was I to know that I would smash that record only a few days later with an amazing score of 1630, a very close win to the match with William playing a very good round 3 a setting a very high score of 722, but I just pipped him thanks to winning the first 2 rounds.

But I think I will even beat this score in a game I am currently playing against Neil, watch this space.

Jenga - Playing with blocks

Jenga on the iOS platform is quite enjoyable to play & has quite a few different modes on the app from Classic, Arcade to an Online option.

On-line only Pete (Fluffmyster) & Abbas are playing at the moment

I decided to take off all the online turn based games from my iPhone & set them up on the iPad only. This will have me using the iPad more & also will not have me playing the iPhone when trying to get to sleep.

Annoyingly since the move over to the iPad I keep failing to connect to the on-line servers so cannot play any games. Not sure if this is an issue with the servers of my account move to the iPad but I can't play this on-line at the moment.

Draw Something - Stadium

Showing off my drawing skills with Stadium against Kevin.
A missed opportunity, I should have shown Liverpool lifting the FA Cup.

Also I noticed the game changes your word if you do not complete the drawing. I had a chance to draw Kirby for Jaimie after selecting the word I only partially drew the outline of Kirby & clicked away from the app. When I next reloaded the app it lost my partial drawing and gave me new words to select.

I also must get this installed on my neglected iPad, it has got to be easier to draw.

Scramble with Friends - New High Score

Beat my previous score of 1277 by a a little bit to get to 1286. Still can't break into the 1300 barrier.

Does anyone else play this? If so send me an invite.

Draw Something - Tempest

My drawing of Tempest but alas Luffers did not guess correctly. I think I needed some techno music with the drawing.

Draw Something - Pitfall

Alas my attempt at drawing Pitfall for Jaimie to guess failed but how does that drawing look like fencing?

But my eagle-eyed daughter has just spotted that Jaimie did not have the letters he needed to type Pitfall

Anyhow you get to see my attempt at drawing Pitfall

Draw Something - Longest Streak

Everyone and their cat seems to be playing Draw Something & the Khan family are no exception, I achieved my longest streak of 37 with Abbas yesterday.

The game has now been purchased by Zynga so only time with tell how it develops into Draw with Friends.

Until then if nothing else this app is improving my drawing skills or then again maybe not...

22 April 2012 Space Channel 5 day

22nd April is Space Channel 5 day in memory of Owen.

I failed miserably last year to get past the first stage, I am hoping to do better this year.

So go into your basement or lofts & find your dreamcast console & games.
