This is a bitter account of my life as it happens....enjoy.

The PS3 - I love it.

Thats not a typo. I LOVE the PS3.

I dont want this to turn into some sort of flame post where I talk smack about the other consoles. So I wont even mention them.

My PS3. I bought her on release day here in the UK. Everyone told me I was stupid, crazy or had more money than sense. Looking back perhaps I did. I bought it with Resistance and Motorstorm. Both of which I played and played and played some more. I soon got bored of these 2 games and looked for others - there werent any.
I couldnt find a single game I wanted. It wasnt until the release of The Darkness that I started using her again. But..yet again, as soon as I had finished this game there was nothing..for a loooong time.

I'm gonna skip up until today. I've now got 15 games for my PS3 and play on it every day. I also use it as a blu-ray player, a media centre to play movies and songs off my PC. I even use it to browse the internet from time to time. Its the ultimate peice of kit.
And looking to the future..the immediate future looks amazing with Haze and GTA4 on the horizon. I got the MGO Beta yesterday and im hyped for monday when I can actually play it! And looking past the end of May...and into June we will see the arrival of MGS4. Oh baby...I wont talk about that since im at work and a change of trousers isnt really an option.

I can see the PS3 doing really really well in the coming year and beyond.

I dont know why I felt the need to share all this crap. Perhaps its because all my friends (except a couple) have other consoles and always "flame" me about the PS3. Perhap I feel insecure? haha Maybe Im just bored at work? Who knows.

All I know is - I love my PS3

I'm back baby!

Yes thats right. After about 3 months of not using Gamespot at all..I'm back in the mixer now.

I've got a new PC and its so sexy. Crysis looks awesome (although I havent played it much). Cost too much to tell you all about without feeling stupid (over a £1000) :S But damn I think it was worth it...my new BenQ 24" monitor is t3h aw3s0me. lol.

On the PS3 side of things I finnaly got Assasins Creed - which I think is total Garbage. And of course I got GT5 Prologue...which for a game that many people are calling a "demo" - its pretty damn good. I've put so many hours into it already andI'm not bored yet...I've nearly got enough money for the F1 car.

I sold my Wii. I couldnt justify having a console there that I hadnt played for nigh on 3 months. So..off it went..and it took Scarface with it Never worry though..I bought it on PS2 the other day and I cant wait to get back stuck in to it lol. I bet its ten times more entertaining than the peice of garbage that is Assasins Creed...I'm so disapointed in that game, im glad I waited until it came down in price before buying it.



I wish PC gaming was back at its best..I've bought this PC and I've played Crysis. I've ooh'd and aah'd at the graphic. But the whole gameplay side of things is pretty flat and boring. I might complete it just for the sake of getting some use out of my PC. But theres nothing out there that makes me WANT to play it. So I really dont know what to do. Give me suggestions on games people!

Im actually tempted to install Max Payne 2. Just so I have something decent to play on.

Over a month! And news aplenty.

I Cant beleive its been over a month since I last made a blog post. In all fairness I havent been on Gamespot...or my PC much at all.
I nipped on to vote for the whole GOTY thing. (still havent got my icon btw).

For christmas I didnt get any games. Just Resident Evil Chronicles on the Wii, I still havent played it lol. I just cant be bothered with games anymore (never thought id say that!). i have been playing the PS1 resident evil, I felt that a bit of nostalgia would re-invoke my gamers instinct - it didnt.
Still...its a top game, I love it.

Last week I treated myself to an iPhone. Damn, this makes my old phone look like a total pile of turd. I just keep playing with it and going on the web using the wi-fi. Hot peice of kit!

In my personal life, nothing much is happening. Infact, as I write this im being turned down by a girl lmfao. (no change there)
Im totally broke after lending my parents some money. (no change there)

So thats it. Hopefully ill get my ass back on the forums and be more active like I once was, its back to uni on monday though, Maybe the old routine will get my ass back into gear.

Only time will tell.

Month off looms closer

Today I had my last Maths lecture of the semester at uni. It really hit it home to me that I have only get just over a week to get the rest of my assignments done and handed it. I really should get crackin'.
But im not Im sat here blogging, and watching Milan v Celtic on tele! Id like to see Milan win and put Celtic out...but then I'd feel sorry for Celtic, they've done so well so far.

And what the hell is going on with Gamespot. In almost a week my level percentage has not budged! Its been on 10.3% for ages...is anyone elses like this? Its doing my head in.


In other news..I got Sky+ in my bedroom, this is too good. I'm able to record everything I see which I wouldnt normally be able to do. Last night I recorded Napoleon Dynamite, which I watched later on....and I just have to say "LOL!". This film is strange...but equally hilarious. I just have the urge to throw an orange at every van I see drive past.

Half Life 2 = Best FPS ever?

I've been playing this baby again recently...and I think it is! (title)

Before anyone says anything...yes I have played...
  • Crysis
  • CoD4
  • erm...anything else that might be good.

There is no other game that actually sucks me in and makes me think about it when I arent playing. Crysis (i actually typed far cry then lol!), technically...is the best game ever made. But theres nothing else. I dont know the main character, I dont know or CARE about anyone else in the game...it just feels like you're walking around this huge island killing stuff.


Fair enough..in Half Life 2 Gordon Freeman is a mute, and really we know nothing about him. But everyone else there who is meant to be a friend..feels like a friend, if they died I think I would actually be gutted! I cant actually give you a good reason why I love HL2 so much...can anyone help me out?
