Episode 2 in the COD 4 saga of mine... After the shenanigans of the previous mission I was a little worried about this one. From what I gather, this guy makes a tv show that the Sarge really hates. Being massively over funded, we were sent in to persuade this guy to stop filming this programme. Needless to say it all got a bit violent - tempers were high and it was really hot and I dont know, it all just went a bit tits up. I don't think it helped that I smashed up the producers car when we got there. In hindsight I can see why he was so angry. Anyway during our "exchange" in the lobby, this guy must have slipped out because there was no one there when we got to the recording studio. At this point Sarge was irrate! The bum boy had only gone and aired the program! That was it... We all knew what was ahead of us... When we go to the pub later... We'll have to put up with... ... "I'm an Arabian counter terrorist Pop Idol, get me outta here and sign me up to a $1...

You will have noticed I added a photo's section of us idiots! As we take more and more ridiculous photos they'll get added to the ever increasing photo stream. Click a picture and you'll be taken to the gallery in Picasa Web. Enjoy!

The boxart for the upcoming sonic unleashed has hit the inter web..net, and its actually pretty good! Sonic transforms into a were-hog in the game, so the box-art has half sonic (clever) and half were-sonic (so clever). Pretty good idea, it works..I wondered what the boxart would look like if sonic transformed into other things, more interesting things. This is what the boxart would look like if sonic transformed into a goldfish at night: This is what the boxart would look like if, when the moon was full, sonic turned into a George Forman grill. This is what the boxart would look like if the scary, twisted, beast version of Sonic was Jeremy Clarkson: I'm going to email these to Sega now, its not too late for a change, so you can all thank me when the night sections have less "biting and scratching" and more "running things over in an aston martin"

Well the Star Wars Force Unleashed demo has finally been released on XBLA and PSN. I downloaded it last night and had a quick go this morning. It wasn't bad but unfortunately I don't think it lives up to the hype that was made of it. The controls are average and the running and animation of the main character just feels clunky. The physics and effects are pretty good and its definitely satisfying picking up storm troopers and flinging them around and generally bullying them. The graphics are good in places but the demo doesn't really show them off as its generally a sparse environment inside what I think is a star destroyer ship. I was looking forward to this game and unfortunately the demo has spoilt it a bit, I might still pick it up but its looking less likely. Hopefully they'll make some changes to improve on some of the shortcomings in the demo. Anyway, if you downloaded the demo on either PSN or XBLA then let me know what you though of it in the comments.

According to google and it's users, the best computer game in the world is... TETRIS... Hmmm, I disagree. There are probably one million games better than tetris at least. Obviously I'm not including the cheap PS1 games you could pick up in your local Spar. They WERE crap! I don't know which game is the best in the world as I haven't played them all and then it would only be the best game in the world in my opinion... Serves me right for doing such a pointless google search I guess, but I was bored... Anyway, rant over.

Just been looking through some of the Mega64 videos and this one almost split my sides! I can't really say anything about it, it will spoil the surprise. Its just a good reminder that if some things in computer games happened in real life, how ridiculously stupid it would look. Be sure to check out there site , those guys have really got guts.

This woman is not real. Honest! If you don't believe me, visit here .

Well, for those of you that know me I'm sure you won't be surprised to find that my first entry is about my most recent fandom : The World Ends with You, a sparkling and trendy adventure rpg from Square Enix and Jupiter on the Nintendo DS . The first thing you'll notice about TWEWY , as it is known endearingly, is the character art done by Tetsuya Nomura , famed for the Kingdom Hearts design. If you weren ’t a fan of the Square Disney mix-up then don’t be so quick to write TWEWY off. The storyline is deep and involving while sometimes dark, the characters are well fleshed out with good development, and the game play is all-consuming! Who doesn ’t want to while the day away buying flashy new clothes according to popular brands? Initially the battle system may seem daunting, but automatic take-over is your friend! Take time to get to know your stylus motions on the touch screen and you’ll soon by acing the combat. With so many plot twists to expose and so much mastering ...

Apparently the demo for the new star wars game "The Force Unleashed" will be releasing this coming thursday on XBLA and PSN! All those looking forward to some dark sided star wars action keep an eye out for it. Hopefully this news means the european XBLA and PSN also, otherwise i'll be angry... and you won't like me when im angry!

Well im feeling quite proud of myself, having finally finished Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow on DS recently. I was literally stuck for about a year on that game, after having explored the map about 20 times and getting very frustrated it went on hold.. for a long time. About 2 weeks ago I decided to give it another go but again had no idea what I needed to do.I grudginly looked up on a walkthrough and tried to find what point I was upto on the game. Even that took hours. But I finally figured it all out, and finished the game! That game certainly lasted me a long time.. and now im onto the second DS castlevania. Heres hoping it doesn't go through the same treatment. On another note, Naruto is back out of filler again starting next episode! Thatta make-a me happppy!!

I've just started playing call of duty 4 and so far so good. I've been grenaded and I left a smooshed up corpse but appart from that its all good. My training went well... I got completely lost and the captain guy was shouting at me and I was shouting back - not that he could hear me as the tv is only one way! After that I thought I deserved a holiday so we all went on a helicopter to drop us off on a cruise. However, when we got there the crew we're being right arsey! And to make matters worse the had a nucular bomb on board. Whilst in the procces of explaining to them why this was such a bad idea (with bullets mind), we were bombed by some migs and our boat sank... :( I managed to jump onto the helicopter just in time but that put me in a foul mood for the rest of the day... I was looking forward to that cruise too. Later, some foreign guy was killed on tv so we went in to rescue a russian for some reason... I liked the party at the house where there were no lights. Thank...

Rightio, ive changed the theme and whipped up a quick text logo in photoshop (took about 2 minutes). What does everyone think ? If anyone wants to put in some effort and make a cool looking logo then please do, i cant really be bothered!

Right... I have finally got round to accepting AdZ's invite on account of him getting a store card today! Cheers AdZ! I have lots of games mounting up so I'll have soomething to contribute... with any luck! Well thats all for now...

Well, went on a little shopping trip while we were visiting Andy and Cassy and we found a boxset of the entire series of Love Hina.. for only £20! So i pondered it and eventually decided to buy it. If youve never seen the series then I urge you to see a few episodes. It gets funnier and funnier throughout the series and is a must watch for Comedy Anime fans! Another good Anime thats worth a watch is Ninja Nonsense. Very funny and full of dirty jokes, just my kind of humour!
