Game rental extravaganza
I begrudingly signed back up with Swapgame this week after being massively disappointed with another game rental service. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of these game rental services all... Back to Oblivion
You know, I'd forgotten just how good Oblivion was. On a whim I fired it back up yesterday afternoon and once again I'm barreling through it like a man possessed. Having started the game as a... Oops.. there goes November
Ok, been a while since I last updated the old blog. This is mostly due to work pressures but also a recent yearning to get down the gym and away from the keyboard for a while. One of the truly... Insomnia Rising
Just a quick update today dear reader. I recieved Dead Rising on Saturday which I was chuffed about. Unfortunately I didn't have time to play it until Sunday evening. For some weird reason I... Weak and feeble
Despite promising myself that I really wouldn't buy any games this month due to financial constraints, like an idiot I went and purchased a used copy of Dead Rising off ebay today during my lunch... X06 - What a start!
Just when you thought you may be treated to another hour of mind numbing facts and figures about a next-gen console, Peter Moore comes out of left field and shows Ken how it should be done. I've... Sony Fanboy Meltdown
The Sony keynote at TGS has triggered another 360vsPS3 apocalypse amongst the fanboys. Even the most casual observer has to admit that PS3's keynote was utterly uninspired and was devoid of any... And I'm done
Just finished my uber backlog of work for the night. Started working at about 2pm and finished about 12:15am. Some people would say that I should've done some of it yesterday instead of enjoying a... Seven Swords
Just finished watching Seven Swords on DVD. Not sure what my overall opinion of it was. The fight scenes were pretty cool if a little too spaced out. And I also liked that each of the goodies and... Work deals massive damage on your head.. -500 health points
Urrgh, slowly being buried alive under a small mountain of paper work. In fact, I sit here now typing this whilst hemmed in by sheets of A4 all over my desk. How is it that someone who chose a... Busting caps, taking names
I picked up Saints Row on a whim on Sunday - well, actually it was because I was stuck with nothing to do in town for an hour and I wasn't looking forward to going back to work on Monday. So... Still yawning
So I'm on my return leg of my trip to New Zealand. I'm currently stood in a free Internet kiosk in Singapore airport waiting for my flight to Heathrow. Just a quick word about New Zealand - it's... Yawwwwn! - The adventure begins
So it's 3am and I'm sat here waiting for my Taxi to take me to the bus station so I can endure a 3 hour bus ride before enduring a 12 hour plane flight - I think I'm gonna cry. Thankfully I've... Oh happy day!
Well, looks like Heathrow will be lifting some of the more stringent flight security requirements tomorrow which means - I should be able to take my DS onboard with me now.. wheee! So far I've got... Streetfighter 2 - why god why!!
Jeff was right, this game is flat out broken. If it wasn't for the fact that I've really been enjoying playing the singleplayer game, I think I'd have already gouged my eyes out with a rusty fork... Oh the irony of it all!
So, wouldn't you know it. I buy a shiny new Nintendo DS to take on the looooong flight to New Zealand with me and a week before I'm due to fly some terrorists try to smuggle explosives on a plane.... Revenge!
Woo! Managed to finish first in two races last night. Then things took a turn for the worst as I proceeded to tumble all the way back down to the back of the grid again. It's those damned American... Ohnoes! Table Tennis pwns me!
I spent a good couple of hours trying to master Rockstar table tennis last night. I made it all the way to the finals of the easiest tournament only to be beaten by some Brazillian bird who kept... Rockstar Table Tennis - Demo out today
Sods law, just as the demo comes out the full version of the game hits my doormat this afternoon. Luckily after giving it a blast for an hour I can already tell I'm going to get very addicted to... Burnout Revenge - Help me mummy!
I dusted my copy of Burnout Revenge off today to sit down and have a good multiplayer session. What ensued could be described as total ownage by a pack of American teenagers who jeered me as I...
