First thing's first.
I recently got two new games, both were dirt cheap, so I thought "why not?".
They were Medal of Honor: Airborne and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.



I enjoyed both games.
Turning Point is bound to cause some controversy. I'll just say that I was looking for a fun game, and I got it.

My main complaint with Turning Point also goes for Airborne. Too short!
Turning Point was also, unfortunately, incredibly easy. I was playing on Hard, and it was still too easy.
Being a construction worker, naturally, I am the right man to choose when you need explosives armed.

Two games have now been made available for free from Gamershell.
Both Area 51 and Full Spectrum Warrior.

I recently found out that I will be away when Far Cry 2 hits Europe. I guess I'll have to wait a day or two, before busting open my special edition.

I'm also thinking about getting an Ipod at the end of the year. I'm not sure which to get, although I'm interested in the touch.
It will be a nice thing to have, to listen the few pieces of music I do like, and to watch my favourite movies when I'm out and about.

Plus, I'll take it in the army with me when I go, so I can do something when I'm otherwise doing nothing.

Now this is a list of my favourites, that more people should be interested in!
