Hey again. After being somewhat bored at my desk, I came up with the idea of doing a post about my favourite games from each platform I have owned in the past for my blog. The following list portrays what I have enjoyed the most gaming-wise, with titles that bring together originality, gameplay, graphics and audio to make their way on to the list of games I played and enjoyed the most throughout my childhood. Call me nostalgic, but I love it

While I felt I should have given a brief explanation of why each title had made it's way on to my list, that would have taken some time, as well as made the post look incredibly messy and squashed in. I'm sure anyone who has played any of these knows why they are up there I also felt it was necessary to leave the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii off of the list.

There are constantly great titles being released for the 360 and PS3, and so it would be hard to jot down a few without a new release replacing an existing entry within the next few months The Wii was left off as it would be have been a struggle to reach a list of three titles I have actually enjoyed enough to put up there since I first purchased the console

On a rather un-related note, I managed to get around to re-installing Mac OSX 10 on my Mac Mini recently, and she is now running perfectly Over the past few weeks/months it would struggle loading simple web-pages, especially image heavy ones. It would also struggle with streaming video via youtube or gamespot, and doing other tasks that most computers would handle with ease. After a complete reboot of the machine, including completely wiping the hard drive, it is now running faster than my vista laptop would (which was my machine of choice once the mac began to slow down unexplainably) and I am enjoying Mac life once again

For any of the readers with an iPhone or iPod Touch, you are probably aware of the new 3.0 firmware update that coincided with the release of the 3GS. While a few of the new features did not appeal to me (as I have a Touch, which is lacking in a microphone) the device seems to run a lot faster now.

It's battery life seems to have been greatly extended also, perhaps due to the update configuring how the device handles applications and how battery-consuming they may be (honestly I have no clue). So either way, if you are using an iPhone or iPod Touch, I would recommend upgrading to 3.0 through the iTunes Store (although I'm sure you could find another method, somewhat more cost-effective )

Feel free to add me on Twitter or track me if you want to read regularly! Oh, and there will also be a new blog signature soon to replace this old PS3 one...
