The Halo 3 hype machine is now entirely in full effect. On Wednesday Microsoft released a new advert called ‘Museum’ and the Xbox.com website told gamers to come back on Friday for more. Well Friday rolled around and a new website and advert were launched. The trailer was called ‘Believe’ and ended with a shot [...]
It was with sadness that I read about Colin McRae and his 5 year old son dying when their helicopter crashed last night in Lanark. McRae was piloting the chopper but I’m sure it was in no way his fault. I really enjoyed the last Colin McRae videogame so that’s a real shame that this [...]
I got Stranglehold on rental this morning, I played it for about half an hour earlier on. It’s not bad, lots of shooting and explosions which I like. The “Tequila Time” effects is pretty cool, it’s a bit annoying that when you dive it doesn’t automatically go into slow mo, only if you are pointing [...]
It’s been a fun week in gaming land. On Tuesday I got access to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta and I’ve pretty much been playing that ever since. It’s a brilliant game, even though it’s only a beta. If the final game is this fun but with more maps then it might just [...]
After only a day of using them I love my new headphones. They took a bit of getting used to but once I’d figured out you’re supposed to put them right into your ear I was set to go. What’s great about them is that they both block out outside noise, allowing you to hear [...]
Tim and I’s road trip across the States to go see his parents may have been ditched in favour of flying. He looked into flying originally but it was really expensive, $100 for each dog, each way. That’s $400 for the two girls alone. But then he found flights for himself for $400 and that [...]
I got an e-mail from CD WOW today saying that if I signed up for their DVD rental service 4 week trial I would get a free Top 75 CD. So I signed up and I should get a £8 e-voucher within the next few days, I’m gonna get Mum KT Tunstalls new album. I’ve [...]
I went to Game yesterday and got a Gameware VGA cable to hook up my 360 to my monitor. Needless to say it didn’t work and so I was going to take it back today and get the official Microsoft HD VGA cables to try instead. However I was politely told to fuck off and [...]
I went to Borders today and got the book Atonement, the film that has been adapted from it I’m going to see on Friday with Mum, and since it was buy one get one free I also got a book called A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian. It sounds good. It’s all about a [...]
Microsoft today released a new Halo 3 video which I don’t know if I’m happy about or not. For one it’s really quite dull. What sort of an advert for a first person shooter features an old man? And where is the Master Chief?
But apart from that, it also poses, and answers, some questions. [...]
