The Iceman's Game Journal

After seeing Tim's Game Diary, I started this blog to give me some incentive to actually finish some of the 461+ video games I have (of which I have finished 41.) Hope it works.

Chapter 3-1--Resident Evil 5

Not much to do in this level, but it was still pretty good. had to find pieces of a seal that locked the doors to a village, and those were scattered all over the map. So I had to go exploring to find them all. Didn't have to fight many Majini, but did have to avoid or fight a few Crocodiles, that killed me twice.

Got the pieces, got into the village, and had to fight a bunch of Majini, including a couple of tough ones with masks that were bullet proof and covered a lot of their body. Almost ran out of ammo and Sheva did (big shock there) but I managed to defeat them and max out my inventory collecting loot afterwards. After reading a diary about how the village was infected, it was time to take a Gondola to the

Chapter 2-3--Resident Evil 5

Seems the data file confirmed what I've been saying since the end of 4; the Majini are infected by Las Plagas. still not sure if it is a T-Virus/Plagas hybrid or not, but at least I was right.

Not a bad k\level, but it was spent almost entirely in the humvee shooting with a gun turret. and the target sight kept getting lost, so I spent half the level not knowing where I was shooting; I just tried pointing my gun in the right direction. when we got to Dela Teams location, a Gigante (or whatever they are called in this one) attacked. not as fun of a fight as the ones in 4, but he earned a few new moves. Unfortunatly he was rather easy to kill.

Now onto the marshlands

Walmart is stupid.

First, they finally get Mortal Kombat VS DC, almost 6 months after it first came out. and then they don't have Resident Evil 5 at Midnight! I should be eagerly anticipating fighting Zombies (or whatever they are called in this one) and finding out what the hell Wesker did to himself!

Instead I'm here typing up this post :(

Looks like I'll have to play the demo till Tuesday, and crymyself tosleep till them.

ok, maybe not cry, more curse Walmart's stupidity.

1000 Points!!!!

YAY!!!!

My gamescore is over 1000!!!!!!

ok, that's not too impresive compared to Bug's 13825 (as of this post) but still a mile stone

It was released last year and is a joke, but they need to make this!



Seriously, they need to. If ever there was a game that deserved a movie, it's Legend Of Zelda. Have Peter Jackson direct it, divide Ocarina Of Time into two movies (one for Young Ling, one for Adult Link) and have a script ready for the sequel Majora's Mask ready, just in case. Not only that, but if the movies were a success, they could also do Windwaker and Phantom Hourglass (which are set in the distant future after Ocarina) and Twilight Princess (which I think takes place sometime in there).

Nintendo, if your listening, make you fans happy and apologize for Super Mario Bros by giving us a Legend Of Zelda Movie.

Kali's Temple--Lego Indiana Jones

This was a short level, just one map. But there was lots to do and it was fun, which is the most important part. Rescued Willie, beat up a few Thuggee grunts, and onto the next level.

I unlocked the "Kali Ma will rule the world" Achievement.

Shanghai Showdown--Lego Indiana Jones

Yay!!!! I'm playing Temple Of Doom!

This was a fun level, not just because I got to use powers that I hadn't before (Willie's scream and Short Round's size) but I started out as a poisoned Indy and then got to roll around in the gong!

I also unlocked the "Short Round, Step On It!" achievement. Unfortunately I discovered that my perfect record with achievements being recorded is broken because the last 3 were unlocked while the Xbox was logged off of Xbox Live, so no date was registered. Doesn't matter though, because I record them here as well!

Temple Of The Grail--Lego Indiana Jones

This was a fun level, mainly because of something that has been present the whole game; they recreated the movie! They even have the invisible bridges for Indy to cross and the word spelling room.!

Beat the level (The Grail Knight was rather easy, but then again he is about 800 years old. in he movie he couldn't even pick up his sword) and completed Last Crusade and unlocked the "He chose...poorly" achievement.

Now onto the Temple Of Doom!

Desert Ambush--Lego Indiana jones

This one was fun. Needed a lot of studs for True Adventurer, but I let Tank Dude take care of most of the demolition for me and just collected them (might have to watch the movies again to find out his name. Darn :) )

Beat him and unlocked the "They're well out of range dad" achievement.

Trouble In The Sky--Lego Indiana Jones

The person who wrote the Gamefaqs walk through (that's right, there is only one, and it's for the Wii version, but the games are the same) said he had a hard time getting True Adventurer in this one, but it was easy. the hardest part was just the high number you needed.

Before anyone says anything, yes, I have been using the Gamefaqs walk through. That way I know how many studs I need to get True Adventurer.

I unlocked the "No Ticket" achievement and have over a million studs!

Motorcycle Escape--Lego Indiana Jones

Holy crap was this one tough! or at least getting True Adventurer was. Between the cliff on one side, the tar pits in the road, mines, and at the end a bunch of rocket launchers firring at you, it took a few tries to get True Adventurer, but through some fancy foot work (and taking out all but one of the bazooka troops, meaning the rest can't respawn till I let them) and I was able to do it and beat the level, unlocking the "We're not going in the boat?" achievement.

The Hunt For Sir Richard--Lego Indiana Jones

In case any one is wondering, I did skip Temple Of Doom. It's not because i wanted to play them out of order (in which case I should have played Temple first) but because it's my favorite Indy film, so I'm saving it for last. That is why I am on Last Crusade now. might go in order during Free Play.

Not much fighting here. After teaming up with Brody and Elsa, I went through the library, got into the catacombs, and found Sir Richard. Then I had to fight Kazim (At least that is who I think the Fez guy is) and unlocked the "X Marks The Spot!" Achievement. Now on to the Castle to rescue Indy's dad.

I did mess up once. I wanted to wait until I got the game beaten to see how many Studs I collected, but I accidentally bought the "Secret Characters" Parcel. so I will have to add that amount to the total at the end of the game.
