Lost Odyssey for me mainly. Also Warhammer: Mark of Chaos: Battle March but that's for reviewing
I'd like to go back to WoW for a bit but that's going to have to wait till my shoulder's a lot better so I can be at a PC a bit more easily

Only got a tape player in the jeep so I've dug my old tapes out
My 3 faves at the mo are a live recording of the first Ever Energy, How kin cool is that 2nd is my original Trojan reggae compilation tape & 3rd is an old Fleetwood mac album, I Love & will Always Love Stevie Nicks she is one of my favourite all time women of this planet. She touches me deep inside & is more emotive than a hundred standard women.

I'll bring it back O.T by saying I've only been playing BF2 again
I don't often lose it on BF2 but yesterday i went off my head at some **** on my team. The **** walked on to a marked claymore of mine & died then after i switched to his kit to revive him he shot me even after i had Auto Sorry to him a good few times. I weren't in the best of moods, Wrong i was in th perfect mood for Waring, not gaming Waring
So I did something i haven't done in a long time & taught the lad a lesson, I've done it a few times before when someone was being a real jerk just to teach them proper.
I switch kit to Medic then i find the Dude & stab them, Then i switch to Paddles & Revive him, then i stab him then i revive him then i stab him then i revive him etc etc etc. The victim is Trapped in game & cannot even exit BF2, they have me stabbing & reviving them repeatedly auto saying "NO CAN DO" It's a very cruel punishment & enough to make anyone give up gaming to be quite ****** honest but that's what you get if you be a Tard repeatedly on my team. Of course i get minus scores for TK, last night it was minus 18 for the 9 TK's until i let him up again but BF2 has never been about points to me I have just accumulated loads of points whilst i played.
It takes 30 seconds to revive in BF2, with me killing the Dude 9 times he was trapped for about 5 minutes solid with me teabagging him stabbing him & reviving him only for me to do it again. Lesson learnt Young'un

Loaded Crysis and I’m a few hours in.

I have to say, I'm massively disappointed so far. After all the hype of it being a cutting edge game, it's no more detailed than HL2E2 and GoW I’ve just completed. Of course, the vastness and draw distance is impressive to say the least but that's all there is to write about really. It’s just reliving a four year old game that was once Far Cry.


The AI is practically non existent and enemies run around like headless chicken. In fact last night, whilst taking cover in a toilet somewhere, two enemies just stood there looking at me and didn’t fire until I did. I don’t call this progression. Maybe they just wanted the loo I dunno.

The Nano suit does have some useful features but nothing that hasn’t been seen before and its interface is quite fiddly.

The game is also riddled with bugs and the old “clipping “arms through closed doors is something I’ve not seen since DX8 days. It’s appalling to be honest.

With this in mind, if the design is this bad on the outside then god knows what’s going on internally with the code and begs the question; is it poor code that’s dragging the performance down to its knees? If this truly is next gen software, then my Gran is the Bionic woman. Games which provide the highest setting should be playable on the current top hardware configuration available. If that’s not the case, then what else have these games been tested on? I think both the developer and the publisher have a lot of explaining to do.

And it caused my first BSOD on my new system.. driver error!

Devil May Cry 4, Army of Two, Dynasty Warriors 6, and Dragoneer's Aria (on PSP). The last two are for review purposes, the first two are for fun
