So far on Top Spec Gaming Ive mostly done game reviews on the main page so since this is essentially a blog I'm going to try and ad a more personal touch to the site and blog a bit about what I'm doing at the moment in the gaming world.
The renting month :)
As Ive mentioned many times before I'm a bit of a trophy hunter on the PlayStation 3 so that's probably taking up most of my gaming time, Ive started renting on Love Film recently so Ive been renting small games that wont take up too much of my time. I started out with terminator salvation which is a OK game nothing special but was worth having a play through and after a few hours *Bling* platinum :)
For those of you not familiar with the PlayStation 3 or trophies there the same as Xbox 360's achievements and are given to the player for completing certain tasks such as finish a chapter in a certain difficulty or more complicated things like kill so many enemies. Its a way of rewarding the player for playing the game and a nice way of showing of your skills as a gamer. there are 4 different trophies: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum as you can guess bronze trophies are easier to obtain silvers slightly harder golds are rarer and usually are much harder and platinum's these are only gained once you have all the trophies in the game your playing.
So after I sent of terminator salvation I next received Trivial Pursuit which is not the type of game I usually play as its more of a multi player game my girlfriend had a few games with me and within another day or 2 of gaming you guessed it *Bling* platinum :) Again the game isn't as epic as other games out there but that's not what these games are about its just a good multi player game to have a laugh with a few friends. The next game I rented was a horror/ Survival game called Alone in the dark, I hadn't heard much about this game but Id seen the game on lots of players stats. This game is great and terrible at the same time, The game has soo many great ideas that no other games have but the only problem is the fine tuning of the game its like the creators spent too much time thinking of all these great ideas and forgot to make sure they all work properly which is a shame, don't get me wrong the game is playable but there's too many glitches and problems for it to be a great game but defiantly worth a play through. And oh yer got the platinum that's 3 in a row in under a week lol.
And now were at the game Ive just received came in the post yesterday, its monopoly streets first of I love monopoly its a great game and to have this in video game version with trophies is great :) so far I'm about half way through the game just have to get into some online play. Now I'm guessing you all know how monopoly is played so I wont explain but this game uses the old game board and has come up with a great way of turning it into a interactive experience, there's a choice of different game boards such as the old retro classic and new ones like the real city which is great. Again like trivial pursuit its a great multi player game and yesterday I had my friend come round and we had a few games. At the moment I'm on 27 trophies out of 41 so I'm guessing by the end of today I should be done.
So that's whats been taking up most of my gaming time the rest has been on MineCraft, its a game I can go to that has no time limits no stress and is just relaxing to play :) that is unless a creeper blows up in your face :) so that's whats happening pretty much at the moment. Let me know if you found this interesting if its a popular idea ill do some more posts like this and if you prefer the more personal posts to the reviews ill do more like this. See you all later happy gaming :)
