Ever since i got my new laptop last year i have been playing alot of games on both my xbox 360 and PC.

This is the collection I got this summer...

• Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360)

One of the most orignal games that I have played in along time.

• Halo 3 (xbox 360)

Great ending to a spectacular trilogy a bit short though.

• The Orange Box(Xbox 360)

What can i say its five games in one thats great value.

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC)

Still looks like it did on the Xbox 360 amazing game.

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine (PC)

In my opinion this is a better expantion pack than shivering Isles.

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (PC)

Badly integrated in to the oblivion world but still Very fun.

• S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC)

One of the best game i have played period Massively atmospheric

what did you get ???

Hi all

Every one makes a "best of" lists at this time of year but in this blog post I want to share with you 3 issues that gaming could do with out.

1. 1.Ratings Arguments :

I am really sick of hearing about people who are saying that games like Manhunt are too violent and should not be allowed to go in sale.
If you guys had played any games you would know the reason why we play video game in the first place. It is to have escapist entertainment where we can think of our selves as we would like to be.
Also it worth noting that the rating for video game is complete joke as many
of us know. Because of the fact that there is no one organization rating games
which decides game ratings. Ultimately ratings are decided by country's like USA or the UK then the rest of the country's just adapt that rating.

1. 2.Console wars:

If you spend as much time playing games as I do you will know that the console wars are ridiculous as it really comes down the fact what games do you like. E.g. I got my Xbox 360 because of the fact that I wanted to play Halo 3 and Splinter cell 5. Where as some one who likes Metal Gear solid will buy a PS3. If you like both Metal Gear solid and Splinter cell 5 buy both consoles.
With a little bit of research it's that easy.

1. 3.In game advertisements:

I don't know which game started this but in game adverts are annoying and frustrating. The thing is I don't want to see adverts in my face despite what this article says http://www.gamespot.com/news/6178031.html?tag=result;title;1
The reasons for this are as follows

• • *I prefer not to have to pay for adverts in the games I play.
  • *As I have said before we play Video games for escapist entertainment not so we can be brought to reality every time we look at an advert.
  • *Every developer tends to over do adverts e.g. in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas was terrible as I could not go for 1 level with out seeing an advert.
