Weekend gaming - Gray Matter

Bit of a slower one for me this weekend, mainly because I've been reviewing Gray Matter, the upcoming point and clicker for the 360. The fact that a game like this is even being released on the 360 was enough to get me interested in the first place. The genre – popularised by Monkey Island and co around 20 years ago – has seen a resurgence in recent years on mobile and handheld devices (ipad especially) but this is a big(ish) release for a console. As you'd expect the controls take some getting used to. Mouse or touchscreen remain the best ways to interact with games like this. Once you get used to things the action plays out in the languid pace you would expect although some fiddly and occasionally obtuse puzzles raise the temperature. More on Gray Matter when I post a review later this week.

What about you though? How was your weekend gaming?
