PlayStation 3
Who says you can’t go home again?
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008After a year without Xbox live, I signed into the service last night. Having spent the last few months with the PS3, I’d all but forgotten the impact of Xbox Live on both the individual user and the industry as a whole. How then, after a prolonged experience with PSN, does a return to Xbox […]
Confessions of a Justified Camper
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008First of all, I’d like to set the record straight. I’ve never, ever been a camper. It’s against my very being. It’s not because I’ve got anything against cheap kills. It’s because I’ve no patience. As a youngster, playing Street Fighter II at the ice rink up the road, my strategy was an all out […]
Lights, Camera, Metal Gear
Thursday, June 19th, 2008Like many of you, I’m now on my second play through of Metal Gear Solid 4 and finally have the opportunity to stretch my legs a bit and explore. This is the time when you find all those little extras and try to get to grips with all those little features you may have questioned […]
Snake’s phone doesn’t ring as much as it used to
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Well if you heard Dorkcast 16 you may have heard that I made it about a 1/3 into MGS4 and was loving it.
Immediately after recording the podcast, I went right back into the game and played all night. Poor Xib being drunk and needy of the mighty Uzi tried to speak to me on Skype […]
Waiting, Waiting…
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Yesterday, I finally took the plunge and ordered myself a brand spanking new PS3 online. After agonising over which games to get with it, I settled on the ubiquitous GTA4, the solid looking Grid, and a heavily discounted Assassins Creed.
Giddy with anticipation, I could hardly contain myself as I tore open the parcel which […]
A Proper Euro 2008 First Impressions
Sunday, April 20th, 2008After listening to the podcast and Xib expressing some kind of interest I thought I’d whack out a few more words on this.
I’ve played “a bit” in the Captain Your Country mode and that is a solid addition given I never really gave the Be a Pro mode a chance in FIFA 08, and […]
UEFA Euro 2008
Saturday, April 19th, 2008After being impressed enough with the demo I grabbed this yesterday. It’s as good as the demo made it appear so I’m happy with that. One thing I will say, and this is driven purely by the mental age of 8 brain I keep inside my skull, every game I play in which I have […]
PES fanboy disgusts himself
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008Same old story. You find a new podcast that you quite like, and at the end they ask if anyone fancies a spot of blogging. “Ooh! I could have a go at that!” you think, and quickly chuck out an email volunteering yourself before you have a thought what you could possible […]
Lego Indiana Jones gets a release date!
Sunday, April 13th, 2008I don’t know whether its just me, but I honestly can’t wait for this game to be released.
I’ve been a huge fan of the Indiana Jones films for a long time (Raiders of the Lost Arch is my favorite in case your wondering;)) and I’m also a huge fan of the Lego Star Wars games, […]
50 Cent’s an hour- What scriptwriters must be paid in gaming
Sunday, March 30th, 2008So, 50 Cent has gone to the middle east for a concert. Probably in Iraq, seeing as how good he damn is at taking bullets and coming out alive. The promoter of the event refuses to pay Mr Cent and his G Loony Crew so Cent gets all angry and probably threatens him with a […]
