Hey all, I haven't made a blog for a while so I'll blog about my gaming lately.

Firstly I got a New computer a month ago, Its an Awesome Dell XPS420 with some great specs for gaming .

More recently than that I got 2 PS3 games and a PC game in the last week, for PS3 I got Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Uncharted: Drakes fortune and for PC I got Unreal Tournament 3.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction is a great entry in the series, so far I have played about half of the game and the gameplay while its the same as its always been thats not a bad thing because it is complemented by some fun, explosive gadgets and great graphics.

When It comes to Uncharted I must say that it is a really great game, the Gameplay is a combination of a variety of third person action and adventure games, which overall makes it a thrill to play, even more than the gameplay is the graphics which look exceptional, going through this game and looking at the environments is truely brilliant. I have progressed 48% through the game and it has been great, the story while simple is told effectively and the characters are believeable and have realistic dialogue to boot. I downloaded the Update for PS3 and the Uncharted update that implements the trophy system however the trophies are not showing even though I have completed some of the tasks, ah well I would not mind playing the game again at all, I recommend you try this game if you are looking to play a PS3 game, its really great.

Lastly I just got Unreal tournament 3 today and have played it for about an hour, The game overall follows the same formula that the previous entrys in the series have, and while it dosen't present alot new in terms of gameplay the gameplay is still as solid and action packed as it ever was and the games graphics look really nice, there is also a story in the single player which helps the series, even if it is a simple story. The game is missing some of the great modes that were in UT2004, but it dosen't stop UT3 from being a great sequel.

I am looking forward to the TF2 updates next week because the Heavy update is being released which will be choice, I am interested to see what weapons the heavy will get, but at the same time I am going to have too look out for snipers because I have a feeling that there will be alot of them.
