Fall Update in RROD Shocker!

So I’m sitting there one all of a sudden pops up this console update notice. Now, I’m not expecting any other updates to swing my way any time soon, so naturally I know what one it is. The console restarts itself, and to my horror I get a series of crazy, 8-bit colours. Here I […]

Old School, New School… I Didn’t Go To School!

Unfortunately my life isn’t a game. I’m not awarded achievement points for washing dishes, or cleaning the toilet. I can’t plummet from several stories and regenerate, as fresh as a daisy, outside the nearest hospital. And dammit, if you leave me idle for longer than 5 seconds I wont tap my wrist and shrug. The […]

Fall Update? What Update? (Part 1)

So I hears so I does, down that glorious imaginary grapevine we call the web world wide, that the XBOX 360 fall update will be touching down and blessing my system with plenty of virtual vitamins and minerals to keep that box ticking good and proper until Christmas 2008, but one aspect of this shiny […]

November 23rd: The Day UK 360 Fans Went Bankrupt

Okay, so, either this is a mistake or Microsoft have hatched a devious little brain child which will render us 360 fansters penniless in the most bittersweet nature possible. It’s a shit creek we’re being sent wayward up, friends, but it’s a shit creek with chocolate sprinkles and an almighty candy rainbow at its very […]

IGN vs. Gamespot: I’ve finally bought into the machine.

Here we go. Dotted line well and truly signed. I am now an IGN Insider. It was a difficult decision to make; IGN vs. Gamespot, and the head to head of my two biggest sources of information. Ritualistically, since the age of about 13, I’ve been visiting these two heavyweights pawing my greasy little digits […]

How I learned to stop sucking and complete a game.

Wow, so my mind has just been in somewhat of a twizwazz as of late; mainly due to the lack of sugars and ‘e’ numbers in my system (I had to cut down, ya know cuz’ of those doctors). In this haze I found it extremely difficult to keep my mind focused on just one […]

Tony Hawks Pro Skater: The Decline of a Heavyweight Franchise

While thats an admittedly brash title for an article its with good reason I make such a bold statement, for it is sadly, what seems like, the final time we’ll see a console Hawks. Where the late Kurt Cobain vowed to burn out before his cardigan-bearing soul faded away Neversoft’s franchise has adopted an opposite […]

6 Hours of Halo 3

There’s two things I’ve become aware of. The first is that I seem to have this trend that involves me playing games for 6 hours straight; no more and no less. The second is that I make about 3 or 4 conclusions regarding a game I’m playing before I actually complete it. They say you […]

Madden 08 vs. British Dude

*throws on two tribes by frankie goes to hollywood*
 
There’s a battle raging, sailors. It’s a war unlike any worldly conflict you’ve ever known. It blazes throughout my humble abode like some sort of virtual hellfire. It’s the timeless fight of British man versus American football. American visitors who happen to see this may be taken […]
