Assuming you weren't caught up in the golf or the rollercoaster that was the Ashes 2nd Test then you may have found some time for some gaming. I did. Most of it was spent on The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition. The review should be up later today but - occasionally clunky controls aside - this is an excellent remake and a lovely slice of nosalgia.
Less positive was my time spent on 1 vs 100. The quiz itself is fine - though I did have some issues hearing the host - but getting on the leaderboards, and so in with a chance of winning the big prizes, seems to be more about your reflexes in spamming the pad rather than any general knoweledge. Yes, this is still a beta but if Microsoft are planning on using 1 vs 100 to broaden the appeal of the 360 then they will have to sort this. If not, any non-gamers tempted in by the appeal of an interactive TV gameshow will soon retreat back to the Wii or TV when they realise they can't beat the button bashers.
Anyway, what do you play this weekend?
