| Find-games is good 1/3 of the time, i.e. when it isn't broken or has the same game spelt two different ways.

| Final Fantasy XII is now in the PS2 Platinum range. So, in case you haven't got it yet, £15 (£9.99 online!) for the best FF of the sixth generation is a pretty good steal. Also, further compounding the bargain goodness, GAME (who I usually hate) are currently running a 'buy one get one free' on Platinum and budget titles. So you can get FFXII and any other of the vast amount of PS2 Platinum/budget titles for £15.
Tomorrow I plan to get;
Final Fantasy XII
Some other game. Whatever takes my fancy. Possibly Black.
Okami
X-Files: Resist or Serve (£4 in CEX!!)
Might also get Samurai Showdown V.

Didn't really like it much, played it on PS2.

| Yeh, it is very sleek. I have only played the first two missions though, the first one tedious and the second one long and tiresome. Took the shine off the shiny weapons. Just couldn't appreciate them when I don't know where I'm going, due to lack of signposting, and good enemy AI is substituted with sheer numbers.

| Black rox. It's really simple, but has good AI (don't know what you're talking about Paul!), and is just like being in an action film.

| Well, it's a little inconsistent and simplistic. Sometimes the enemies seem to display a telepathic understanding with one another, if one sees you they all do. Other times you can shoot one of them right in front of another and he won't even notice. It's numbers, rather than challenging AI, that provide the difficulty.
If they'd just left out some of the realism in the game, added coop (there's no coop mode right? I can't remember, never tried it), unrestricted the controls, and generally just focused purely on the frenzied shooting and pretty explosions (in other words, made it more arcade-y) the game would have been a complete classic.

| Apparently Mass Effect (standard) will be £32.99 at WHSmiths. My Virgin order has been dispatched.

After only a few hours of gameplay I can say that £32.99 would be bargain of the year (excluding the sublime Orange Box)
My blog, gaming and private life ramblings ensue!

| Ah right yeah. I actually just sold that. Very good stuff but not a lot of replay in there.
