3DS
I will be attending a Nintendo event in Manchester this Sunday ahead of the 3DS launch next month. I will be trying out the system and some of the “launch window” games. I will update the blog when I get back home on Sunday after the event so stay tuned and I will give my impressions. Until then I am out. Oh and I am back for good now.

1 Week Until Eurogamer Expo 2010
I attended 1 day of the Eurogamer Expo last year in Leeds, which involved playing many unreleased games at the time, and going to a developer session which was as good, if not even more interesting. Hearing how Introversion struggled with getting their game, Darwinia, onto the xbox live market place for an hour was actually very insightful. This year they scrapped the Leeds location...

E3 is coming
I realise I have been away for far to long due to… well due to life basically. But I am back and I’m more excited than ever. In a few short weeks E3 will be under way.
Things we can expect to see
Nintendo will have to be showing their next hand held device, the glasses free 3DS.
Microsoft will of course be showing off more Natal.
Sony will be showing more of their motion...

Weekly Update (7th March 2010)
This week has been a busy week, but I have managed to get some gaming done. I started playing Bayonetta. I am enjoying it although it is rather difficult. I may have to knock the difficulty setting down a notch. I have continued with MotorStorm and I finished Heavy Rain a couple of hours after the last weekly update. I will do a more in depth update on Heavy Rain this week as I am on holiday from...

Weekly Update (28th February 2010)
I am so engaged with Heavy Rain I nearly forgot about updating the blog. So I may as well begin with just that. I played more last night and then a few hours again today. I am really loving the “game” now. I put the word game in quotes, as it isn’t really a game. I will talk about it fully once I have completed it, which I expect to do this week, if not the next day or two. ...
Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain came out today, and the weather couldn’t be more perfect for it’s release. At least where I live anyway. I actually got my copy in the post yesterday, and got to play it for an hour or so last night, as well as a couple of hours today. I am enjoying it so far. The start is a little slow but necessary to get you into the controls and how everything works. I am at a point now...
Weekly Update (21st February 2010)
This week I really only have a couple of things to talk about. Firstly, I have read my remaining Walking Dead graphic novels. I love it more and more after each volume I read and I have now ordered the remaining volumes (7-10), so I can’t wait for them to get here so I can read them.
As far as games are concerned, I haven’t played such a lot. With the combination of going to the gym...
Weekly Update (14th February 2010)
It’s only been a 3 days since my last update so there isn’t a huge amount to say. I have finished God Of War 2 now though, so that’s all 3 of them done with. I’m glad I’ve got a little while to rest now as I don’t want to burn myself out, after playing through them all so quickly. I watched Star Trek last night which I had wanted to see since it came out. I am...
Weekly Update
I’ve decided to start a weekly update on everything that I have been doing in the past week. Today is Thursday but I will continue to do this on Sunday’s in the future. Anyway I finally got The Zombie Survival Guide finished this week. I have been reading it for a while now and really enjoyed it. I have bought World War Z now which I will save to read a bit later as I really want to...

Let's TAP
One of my new year’s resolutions is to buy pretty much any game if it is interesting and under £5. When I saw Let’s Tap for £4.97 this immediately rang my must have bell.
Now I would never had bought this game at full price and I don’t know how much it came out at, but even if it was as cheap as £17.99, it wouldn’t have registered as a purchase for me. At the under a fiver...
Avatar
After waiting a few weeks I finally got to see Avatar last night. I had been trying to arrange to go see it with some friends which fell through a couple of times and I was considering just going on my own. Luckily it got arranged for last night and it was well worth the wait.
I listen to a lot of gaming podcasts that often stray into movies, so I had already heard a great deal about the movie...
New Year, New Beginning
Since the new year officially started today, I figured it was a good time to begin plans for this next year on the blog. First of all I am not happy with the quantity of posts I have been making, so this is my number one priority. I have missed talking about certain big releases which I am not happy about at all. Of course quantity is nothing over quality, and so I will be going a lot more in...

FAHRENHEIT
Here is another older game I had never played and have recently purchased off Ebay. This one in anticipation of Heavy Rain next year. I remember seeing Fahrenheit in shops back in the day when I had my original xbox, but never had any clue what type of game it was. Recently learning that this was a game by Quantic Dream I had to get myself a copy. Heavy Rain is one of the many games I am eagerly...
God of War Collection
So my copy of the God of War Collection arrived today.
I am rather looking forward to God of War 3, after player through the demo at Eurogamer Expo in Leeds last month, and then again at home when the kind folk at Sony sent me a code to download the very same demo. I have also just recently played through Chains Of Olympus on the PSP, and thought it was fantastic. I never got a chance to play...
Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer Limited Edition
So I received this in the post today.
Well, when I say received, I ordered it from Play-Asia. People don’t send me stuff for free. Anyway, it was going for some bargain price, and even though I already have the game on the PS3 I thought it was well worth buying. With this Special Edition came the PC version of the game. I am yet to install it. Like I said, I have the game already on PS3....
Borderlands Part 2
So I went ahead and downloaded the DLC. My Berserker was level 24 when I went into Zombie Island. I thought I would take a break from the main game and check it out. I ended up playing through the DLC in one go, and really enjoyed it. People that say Zombies are over saturated in games are just wrong. Zombies never get old. And the Zombies in this game are great fun to shoot. I ended up finishing...

The Zombie Survival Guide [Recorded Attacks]
So before I say anything, I haven’t yet read any of the book. I pre ordered it a few months back and have been looking forward to receiving it, which I did this morning. I have heard great things about it though. I got into The Walking Dead comics a few months back which is the main reason I ended up pre ordereding this book. Anyway, it is time to get reading.
Borderlands
So I picked up Borderlands yesterday. Its been out a few weeks and after hearing great things about it I decided to pick it up. I was half torn between getting Left 4 Dead 2 and Dragon Age. But those two can wait for now. I’ve been playing most of the afternoon and have to say it’s pretty awesome. I was one of the people that couldn’t get into Fallout 3, but the gunplay in Borderlands...

Scribblenauts
So Scribblenauts arrived today. See.
After my initial excitement for the game around E3, I have anxiously been waiting to play it myself. The game has been out in the US for a few weeks and hasn’t received perfect scores by any means. From what I have read about the game, the main let down had been control issues. With no direct control over Maxwell, he doesn’t always do what you...
Tomtom Go 530
I ordered a new sat nav at the weekend. I had the Tomtom Go 910 which broke 3 times with the same problem. I have been using a very cheap sat nav for the past few months and with a trip up to Scotland planned I decided it was time to upgrade. The cheap one I have been using has got me by, but it really lacks some features which I was used to having with the tomtom. I hope the new one is more...
