Well, it's been a long time since I updated this here blog. I think now is the time to sort that out...

What I've been playing and what I think..

Fallout 3- Great game although it doesn't really fit in with the other 2 games. Not because of the change of perspective but also because the way the world is portrayed feels really different. There isn't as much humour in this one as the other games for example.

Gears of War 2- It's just like the first one but with slightly better graphics and a much grander sense of scale. The ending's a bit iffy and a bit ridiculous but whatever. I'm not the biggest fan on the multi-player though.

Uncharted: Drakes Fortune: I finally finished it and it's one of the best games on PS3 I've played so far I can't wait for the second one now! The story, the graphics, the animations, the voice acting: it's all so brilliantly done! I've always been a fan of Naughty Dog's work and this new series has not disappointed me.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII- brilliant PSP game that deserves the FFVII name more than any other spin off. The ending is very emotional that truly moved me in a way I haven't felt since that iconic scene in the original game.

Far Cry 2- Pretty fun game that I find myself get quite immersed into. It's not the story that drags me in though, the story's rubbish to be honest, it's just that the environment is so so pretty and realistic. The AI keeps you guessing most of the time too. Still not as good as Far Cry 1 for PC though.

Call of Duty: World at War- it's good, but not as good as MW, mostly due to it being simply the same game with a WW2 make-over.

Mirror's Edge- A really fun game that's short but has plenty of replay value with speed runs ans time trials to do. There's also a few bonus maps to get online too should you feel you need more.

Life in general

College is going okay. My exams are over now so I'm really relieved about that. How do I think I did? Not too bad I suppose, they were actually easier than the practice papers I did! Now work is concentrated on doing course-work. This is the bit I absolutely HATE! From now, I have 4 days to do 2 pieces of coursework. Wish me luck!

Other than college, I've been looking into universities and have to make a decision from the three universities that replied to my application. After that I've got to figure out the expenses. I'm not looking forward to that. Luckily it won't be too expensive because I'm living at home.

Other than college and university not much else is going on in my life. Nothing of significance anyway. Only games, music and writing this massive update are what's taking up my time at the moment.

Games to look out for this year

Killzone 2 is amazing and is at the top of my 'must buy' list. If you have a PS3 download the demo NOW! Find out for yourself how great this game is..

The other games I'm looking forward to I've been tracking for a while now. One of which is Heavy Rain by the people who made Fahrenheit/ Indigo Prophecy. It's a similar type of game but this time it looks set to be even better than last time.

Here, I would like to say FF13 will be one of my most anticipated games, but Square Enix are being mean and taking their sweet old time to translate the game, making the arrival date anywhere in 2010. I'm not a happy chappy...

Other games include Borderlands, The Chronicles of Riddick and Battlefield 1943. The latter you will see me playing a lot when it comes out on PSN/ XBL.

Well, I think that's about it. I'll try to keep the blog more up-to-date from here on in

Stay safe, kids.
