[drupal=520]Currently Hurling Mice/Controllers at… 2.5D?[/drupal]

Hello and welcome to the latest installment of Currently Hurling, our semi-regular look at what games we’ve been playing here at Splash Damage. In this installment, Aubrey makes people cry on the internet, Ed gets to live out his spider fantasies, and Jamie 'splodes all over everything. We also have a new face this week with Illustrator/Media Artist Jeremy ‘pinflux’ Hay hurling things for the very first time. Be nice, he wears goggles on his forehead.

Jeremy ‘pinflux’ Hay (Illustrator/Media Artist):
Braid. You

This month has mainly been taken up with Trials HD and Shadow Complex, with a bit of Turtles thrown in for good measure!

Trials HD works really well on the 360 pad, so it’s nice to go to it having fought the keyboard with Trials 2. Now if only I could finish the final extreme level!

Shadow Complex is also awesome, even better when you look at chairs previous XBLA title (Undertow) which didn’t exactly create an amazingly compelling experience (it was a bit, well, rubbish). I’m well into my metrovania titles, so getting to run about exploring every inch of the map has been a joy!

It’s a buyer, if only to experience the joy of making foam towers to reach difficult spots when you don’t have the grapple hook or triple jump!

I’m hopeful that my rental of Arkham Asylum will turn up tomorrow, which will hopefully keep me entertained while I move down to Ipswich for the new job!

I remember the old school Oregon Trail. Haven’t played that in a very long time. Was the one fun educational computer game lol.

still trying to finish all the “Peggle Nights” challenges, never seem to have enough continuous time for anything more complex

Lots of Heroes of Newerth beta for me, a game that has reached almost H1N1 proportions within the #sd channel, inspiring loathing and loving all over.

Otherwise its more of Fallen Empire Legions and maybe a dash of wolfenstein MP if I need a giggle and mindless fragging.
