Grey Alien Games: Games I played this week and IDEs I used

pSomeone called Blitzplotter on the Blitzmax.com forums often asks what games we played over the last week and this time he also asked what IDEs we#8217;d been using. I thought I#8217;d post my answer here as it#8217;s been a fun week with lots of variation and cool times gaming with my boys./p
pOK then, #8220;top 5#8243; games this week:/p
p1) Half Life 2 Episode 2br /
2) Lego Indy 2br /
3) Trine (completed)br /
4) Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy (completed)br /
5) Either World of Goo or Lego Batman./p
pAnd that in fact is all I played this week, apart from Facebook games: Treasure Madness and The Warlords, and maybe Bejewelled Blitz. I recommend you check them all out if you like Facebook games (and even if you don#8217;t!)/p
pOh wait, just realised I played a ton of XBox Live Arcade and Indie games (all demos) and some were neat such as:/p
pArkedo Series 01: JUMP!br /
Arkedo Series 03: PIXEL!br /
Miner Dig Deepbr /
Magic the Gatheringbr /
Gyromancer/p
pUnfortunately Alien Breed Evolution didn#8217;t do it for me, too dark and annoying. Shame as I loved the original games on the Amiga. There were quite a few other lacklustre titles too - I can understand that for Indie titles (people maybe just starting out), but not for Live Arcade titles./p
pTop 5 IDEs used this week:/p
p1) Visual Studio 2008 Express with XNAbr /
2) Flex with AS3.br /
3) MS Frontpage and Notepad++ (for my new Aikido website). Yes I know I#8217;m stretching the limit of what an IDE is./p
pAnd that#8217;s it. Sadly I didn#8217;t use Blitz this week. Well I fired up the IDE to answer a question for someone./p
