Fiddler's Elbow (Wychwood)

Name: Fiddler's ElbowFiddler's Elbow
Label: "Wheat Brewed"
Brewery: Wychwood
ABV: 4.5%

Rating: Quaffable

Game: IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey again. Now this was pretty damn annoying as for the second time, mission objectives were completed but the mission didn't end. This resulted in a switch off rather than aimlessly flying around until the end of time. Glitchy games suck so it goes on the trade pile and is docked a point. Revised rating: 5/10

Next up is Left 4 Dead. A multiplayer game if ever there was one, this is the first game I've seen where "Single Player" is the last option on the menu. Not brave enough to play it multiplayer yet, the single player mode is first choice to get used to the maps before venturing online. Beware of stupid AI team members - if you die right near the end of the level thanks to their ineptitude (or your general shitness at the game in my case), its back to the start of the level for you. The fact that getting vomitted on attracts a flock of zombies automatically warrants an 8/10. Genius.

Fursty Ferret (Badger)

Fursty Ferret
Name: Fursty Ferret
Label: Country Crafted - Dorset Ales - Real Character - 1777
Brewery: Badger
ABV: 4.4%

Rating: Cheeky Bastard

Game: Playing MK Vs DC again. Story mode beaten both ways. Got to see Midway's pleasant "Thank you for playing" message at the end of the credits. No... thank you Midway. Thank you for such a great game. Shame you've gone bust - 8/10. 

Also on the 'Box was IL2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. Interesting flight sim but slowly spiralling into yawn city on Arcade mode.  Realistic mode is a bit tricky and Simulation mode is just crazy difficult.  If it was really like that flying one of those planes in the war I'd have been deaded before I'd even got to the cockpit - 6/10.

Next was Pinball FX. Pinball games are great. Fact.  And this was a steal at only 400 MS points from XBLA Marketplace. It gets docked a point though because several of the achievements are only gettable after downloading further tables (at 200 MS points each) naughty naughty - smacked botties time for Micro$oft - 6/10
