Very late I know but a few days ago I bought the Orange Box. Picked it up since it was cheap (already own HL2 and Episode1 that's one reason why I didnt buy it for a long time). First game ive bought in ages.

Half-Life 2 Episode 2 is probably my favourite game excluding the original HL2, what an improvement it is over Episode 1! Even though it only took me around 5 hours to complete, it was a hell of a lot better than the predecessor, though I still like the first HL2 most. Bring on Episode 3!

Portal is cool but i'd already played some of this beforeso I knew some of the puzzles. Either way it is like no other game ive played and actually makes you think.

Team Fortress 2 is the weakest but has still entertained me. Didnt really like the first TF but this is definitely better. I shoulda picked up Orange Box ages ago. Thats all I can say!

Not quite sure why I havent been on here for so long. Guess i've just been busy. Actually, I definitely have been busy. Last month I saw Judas Priest, Megadeth and Testament on the Priest Feast tour. GREAT show. The other week I went to airsoft (kinda like paintballing but more realistic and with bb replica guns). That was also GREAT. Been training for American football and helping out at senior matches, college work etc. Oh, I also dislocated my finger and snapped it back into place yesterday .

Played quite a lot of games (at some mates houses of course!) like RE5, Gears Of War 2, Far Cry 2, COD World At War, Killzone 2 etc but havent actually bought anything for ages. Well thats all I can think of saying for now.

OK ive written a review on Counter-Strike Source (which you've probably all played or know). It's the first review ive written in ages.

Read review

In fact, this is the first blog post in ages. I've been busy as heck at college and i've even joined and American football team (which is difficult to get into in the UK). Anyway enjoy the review.
