Assassins Creed: Half is Too Much

I picked up Assassins Creed from a friendly gaming retailer a matter of weeks ago. Brimming with excitement over the prospect of playing this much-hyped piece of electronic satisfaction I got home and literally threw the game into my 360… Well, I say threw, but perhaps that is an overstatement. Let’s settle on dropped. I […]

XBOX Live Silver: Gaming Leprosy

The whole XBOX Live subscription system is a wonderful thing. Between the infrequent influxes of vaguely interesting demos, and the impossible amount of things Bill Gates forces you to pay for via his much prized, non-existent currency: Microsoft Points, you could be forgiven for thinking you were being overwhelmed with spoils. But then the thought […]

I’m not Mass Effect…ed

After an unfortunate vid-e-ya game hiatus I managed to find myself at the helm of a rather long (12 hour) session of Bioware’s Mass Effect on the good ol’ Xbox 360. I have to say that I’m still not blown away, and if I’m brutally honest it’s samey- you find yourself searching solar systems, finding a planet […]

The Achievement Whoring Session Deluxe Fabulous: NBA 2K6

Mmm, shoot the jay indeed. 2k Sports’ Basketball franchise is like the cool older brother to EA’s NBA Live series. The younger tyke might have all the savvy of a more hip sibling; listening to all the most current jams and dressing all fly and what not. But dammit, the boy just don’t have the […]

Army of Sh*t

This article is funny.This game sounds like a caricature of modern thought and action. Whether it’s fully intended to be or not, I’m unaware.

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 […]

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 […]

The Achievement Whoring Session Deluxe Fabulous: King Kong

So, to continue my trend of achievement whoring/playing crappy games for the fun of diversification (real word?) I loaded up that grand heap of monkey crud one can only describe as King Kong. As one of the launch titles you take the experience with a pinch of salt, and a spade full of recreational drug […]

The Achievement Whoring Session Deluxe Fabulous: Madden NFL 06

Okay, now, this might be an easy achievement whoring session if you’re a sport-literate American, but if your name’s Lou, you’re from Britain, and the only football you truly understand is the one played by teams like Arsenal or Barcelona then you’d be hard pressed to apply these rules to the American namesake. It takes […]

If you like competitions you’ll be marginally comfortable with…

XBOX Live being Five and all that shit (sorry, it’s actually 5ive, not five, like the UK boyband) they’re deciding that we deserve free stuff for feeding their grand machine billions of dollars. Which I think is fair enough. So if you like to win, ‘cos second place is for pussies, you’d best take a […]
