The "Complete" List

John Woo Presents Stranglehold
Portal
Test Drive: Unlimited ( ALL Gold in the SP challenges.)
Loco Roco*
The Darkness (Easy)
Lost: Via Domus
LEGO Indiana Jones - The Original Adventures (Story Mode)

After a reasonable start to the year I've not managed to complete something for a while.. It probably says much about my enjoyment of this.. It's not a huge game and when you've established the basic rules of play it doesn't vary much (I had to check a FAQ twice.. once for a boss battle and once for a puzzle) but it's fun while it lasts and if you want a 100% completion there's heaps of replay value (A lot of the artifact pieces aren't possible to collect in Story mode).

Of the three chapters Temple of Doom was probably my favourite although I'd have to say The Last Crusade probably captured the spirit of the movie best (It was very funny disturbing the flocks of birds to bring down the Nazi aeroplanes).

It's good not great though as there's some frustrating points.. It's incredibly easy to fall off the scenery and unbelievably you can spawn right on the edge where you fell off and fall off again and again if your not quick enough. The controls are a bit loose and in some places the infinite lives are at the expense of intelligent game design IMO.

Overall I give it **** out of 5.
