London.

Although Britain hate it and it is full of foreign tourists, it is still a good day out. I went to the Greenwich observatory. If you are anywheres near London, consider it and make sure you visit the presentation arena.

Just do it.

Best thing since sliced bread!

Death of another.

So, I decided to hack my 360 HDD (hard-drive to the uneducated) and found a working hack for my gamerpictures. When I DLed it to my old hard-drive, I decided that I could not be bothered to find out if it had worked. When I put in my current HDD (unhacked) I was dismayed to see the red light of death (bottom right) and the E73 error code on my screen. This is an ethernet port failure. I don’t use my ethernet port as I have wireless. I raged.

So it looks like I am going back to P.C for a bit. Or my brother’s 360. Whichever is avaliable!

Time for the website-site of the weeks!

I think it may be time to introduce you to a site I stumbled upon whilst browsing through the Firefox addons – Homestarrunner.com. A web cartoon, It has a ton of inside jokes and humour, and the kind of  quirky humour. Give it a shot, and you may just find something you enjoy.

Sales aren’t just for christmas…

EA is holding a sale (at the time of posting) wherein 10 games have been reduced to only a fiver. These are all electronic downloads, so you’ll need a decent internet connection to get them, but the range of games is amazing, including RA3 (which I reviewed here), CNC3, Mass Effect, Mirror’s Edge, Burnout Paradise and a few more, so I crumbled and bought CNC3, Mass Effect and Burnout, all of which I wouldn’t have bought if the sale wasn’t on, and love them all. Reviews may come soon.
So, go out, buy some cheap games, and have some fun.

Fifa 10…. The best Football game ever?

Fifa 10 has possible improved football gaming for life. Since they have introduced the new 360 degree movement. Football is now not just a sport its now truly part of the gaming community aswell.

And to show how good it is just look at the way shooting can be done.

Some things that have happened

Apart, these didn’t make for a post. Together though…

1) My internet doesn’t like us – Our first router decided to stop giving wireless connection after a while, and this one likes to act up
2) I may get an ICT GCSE by the end of the year, due to my amazing under-belief of my own ability (maybe)
3) My dads ultra thin computer case now has a massive power supply hanging out of the back after the old one packed in
4) Ubuntu is pretty amazing, especially with the easy Wubi installer, but its just a bit of novelty in my case with still being reliant on Vista
5) Car companies don’t make life easy – especially Ford it seems, with all their sub-brands like Ghia and Zetec
6) I’m a pain to my myself and my family, as I’ll decide to do something on a whim even if I have something that’s been bought for me I haven’t done yet.

Crashing Expectations.

Crash Course is out, but it doesn’t deserve the anticipation it got. I am disappointed with the length most of all as it only features 2 chapters which are not very long. It has taken me 20 or so minutes to finish it, but I am not too downhearted with the game play. It stands out as a add-on and feels like Left4Dead, making it a very playable campaign. It just shouldn’t have cost anything. Microsoft have lowered their reputation big style in making us pay almost full price for about a 1/3 of the length of what DLC should be. They should add at least an hour of play before the end, not 20 minutes. Anyway, we all know who to blame for the price, so here’s hoping that Microsoft get enough of a bollocking to let the next Left4Dead campaign (whenever it is) get released for free. Or at least give us tools to play the custom P.C campaigns…

Alien again anyone?

You might have guessed a while back that I enjoyed the Alien series, prior to Alien3. This is a re-make from the look of it. I might get round to seeing it, if I do a review will come straight your way.
