Well, before i start, i'd just like to bring up the fact that gamespot gave BLACK a 7.3. This isnot the first time my monthly magazine, OPS2 (UK) has disagreed. OPS2 gave it 10. Other examples are when they gave 50 Cent 8/10. Im starting to lose faith in them. Im gonna continue with them but im gonna take everything with a pinch of salt, they are a good magazine, and they have special features and other stuff which is better than gamepots, but sometimes they are taken in by hype and there reviews reflect this.
So, i am able of writing this because i am on half term holiday at the moment. So, being a friday, its the last working day of the week. And during these last five days i've had a great insight in to daytime TV. And boy, no wonder people get jobs, i'd get one just to get away from the tv. Its always the same, they are all chat shows, and they always depress you. Trisha Goddard, Oprah Winfrey, Jeremy Kyle, Ricki Lake, Montel Williams, Sally Jessy Raphael, Judge Judy and Jerry Springer (the UK version). And to make it worse, the adverts in between are all compensation, mortgage, consolidating your loan in to 12 easy payments. Oh, and if they're not chat shows, then its ; homes under the hammer, bargain hunt, cash in the attic. But, i have to admit there is a sort of guilty joy you get from watching these programs. With the chat shows, you sort of spend the program thinking how the situation could be improved, and how you would go about it. And with bargain hunt, and such, you sort of think, i could do better than that.
On to other news, i bought 'The Sims 2' and the expansion pack 'Nightlife' on ebay on Monday, but i still havent got it yet, hopefully it will come soon. I decided to get it when i found my original sime the previous day. I enjoyed it greatly. But it isnt the first time ive had the game, i bought it when it was released, and sold it soon after, but i dont think i gave it a chance and i want to make sure i try tio enjoy it this time. When the ability to leave the house and travel in to town was introduces i really enjoyed it, and that is what nightlife lets you do, along with much else, like driving a car. And if i end up enjoying the game, then ill defininetely get 'open for business', so no more will i have to watch them leave in a rusty carm and now i can control them in work, so, depending on the post, hopefully ill get it tommorow...
