GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Was it really May when I last blogged? Blimey this year has gone fast. My little tiny twins are now rolling all around the living room like proper little boys, and it's time to start thinking about going back to work. Not actually going back yet, mind, don't get carried away.

As life has settled down a bit lately, Mr J thought he'd rev up the Xbox 360 (which one of our boys has taken a bit of a shine too, so we have to keep rescuing it - must buy a cupboard) and actually play a game one evening. Imagine his joy when he discovered that as we haven't used it for so long, there were 90 minutes of updates! No game ever actually got played...we live in hope...

I hate when that happens, like when I want to play a game with a friend online but I have to update and we're both waiting ages. It's only of the bad things about the online nature of games these days.

I've had that problem a lot with the PS3, but never really with the 360.
I remember trying to get onto MGS4 for the first time. I swear it was close to 20 mins before I got into the game.

Ouch, that's got to be a pain

Are you going to return to Gamespot?

It's just that I haven't been keeping up with what's being going on with GSUK to be honest.

I've never had that happen (I guess that's the advantage to Nintendo rarely releasing firmware updates), but I can see how that can be a problem. Just another of the great annoyances this generation has brought us...

Hope you return soon, Guy think he owns the place!

90mins? Oh lord, somthing to look forward to I guess, I've been offline for 6 weeks (getting Broadband in London takes longer than I expected). Though my console decided to red-ring (again) yesterday so it might be even longer, horah!

Great to hear the little chaps are doing well. Hopefully they'll be settled into a good sleeping pattern by September 25th, so you can get your Professor Layton 2 on. Or will you import yours again? Its out next week in NA.
