Sequel City

Only eight of my twenty three Xbox 360 games are new franchises. The rest are either sequels or ports. Five of them alone are Tom Clancy titles and three are Call of Duty.
Isn’t that a bit tragic?

Vegas Two Times

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 popped through my letter box this morning from GAME.
I was quite impressed they’d managed to get it here two days before the street date but it turns out the street date is tomorrow, which is a bit random.
Anyway I had a wee play of it earlier and it seems pretty good. [...]

2.5

Wordpress 2.5 was released today as a Release Candidate (it’s not completely finished yet basically) so of course I upgraded as soon as I could.
Most of the change is on the admin side with the dashboard getting a complete overhaul and it seems a lot simpler now.
The text for the RC1 release mentions “built-in [...]

The hawk is back!

I got my haircut this morning. The idea was supposed to be that I kept the length but got it thinned out and tidied up.
Unfortunately I wasn’t paying attention and got it a little shorter than I wanted but it’s ok. Prolly best in the long run what with it coming up to Spring and [...]

Angry Duck

This is the duck that contained the magic color changing bath….pills.
I was bored one day and decided to draw some eyebrows on him.
Now he sits on my desk and judges me with his angry stare.
He also doesn’t photograph well. I’ve tried about ten times to photograph him with my proper camera but in the end [...]

Blood bath

Tim and I’s friend Jon got me some bath stuff for Christmas. I haven’t used any of it yet because it’s too cute.
There’s three little pouches of bath gel in the shapes of a lion, a monkey and a frog but I don’t want to open them cos once they’re empty they won’t be cute [...]

Hazey

Haze is one of the few good games that could draw me to the PS3 but since it’s coming out on 360 as well I’ll just wait for that version.
Just in case there was any lingering doubt, it’s been confirmed that Haze is a PlayStation 3 exclusive and will remain so in the future.
Bollocks. Oh [...]

Favourite Games

Since it’s Sunday (again) and I’m bored (again) I figured I’d post my favourite games on the 360 so far in a variety of categories:
First Person Shooter
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
I wasn’t looking forward to this because of the disappointment that was Call of Duty 3 but after I saw the first trailer of [...]

God of War

I’ve been playing God of War: Chains of Olympus on the PSP and I have to see it’s one of the best games I’ve played in ages.
It’s also near identical to the PS2 incarnations in both scale and graphics which is no mean feat for a PSP game.

Re/Play

When Microsoft introduced Achievements with the Xbox 360, you get points for doing certain things in the game and these are reflected in your gamer profile, most people dismissed them or became addicted to getting them to show how awesome they are.
But recently I’ve been replaying old games on harder difficulties to get the achievements [...]
