GET TO THE CHOPPER

I never played Grand Theft Auto 4 online much. In fact I think I went as far as to play half a game of deathmatch before going back to the story, and at the time didn't feel the slightest bit of regret. Now I understand how much of a fool I’ve been. GTA4 with a few mates, or even one mate, is an absolute riot. Tonight, me and a mate spent almost an hour trying to get to the helicopters in the Airport. When we finally got one, I decided to drive and crashed it within about 5 seconds, killing both of us. Fun times xD

 

I said mate too many times during this blog :P

Stuff

I’ve become a bit of a CVG addict if I’m honest. I go on the thing about 4 or 5 times a day. It’s well handy when I’m trying to think of things to blog about, which happens quite often lately.

 

Today, unfortunately, there wasn’t much there to nick and blog about. Looks like I’m going to have to just write a list of crap xD

 

I played a bit of SimCity Societies today. I got it ages ago but never really got into to it. I only played it for an hour but I had fun. I made a communist city and ended up just rounding up the entire population and putting them in prison. Good times.

 

I’m getting an Xbox on Saturday. I’ve decided to trade in my Wii and spend the money on something that you can actually have fun with. Getting Xbox Live and a few games. Should be good.

 

I think I’ve lost my DS. Doesn’t really bother me though.

 

I really REALLY wanna play the new Uncharted Game D: If anyone from Naughty Dog’s reading this, send me a copy pluz? 8D

 

I found my DS, it was in my sisters room. Hers broke the other day after she dropped it and the top screen snapped off. I didn’t even think it was possible to be honest. I dropped mine down the stairs the other day and it didn’t even turn itself off.

 

Boring day for games! :P

Science Strikes Back

This video is immense. I forgot about it until today, I used to watch it all the time when I has just finished Half Life 2. It's great.

Gears Of War 2

Came damn close to finishing this last night with my cousin on Co-Op split screen on his Xbox (and 42” full HD TV with 7.1 surround sound. You needed to know that. Honest).

 

It was one of the best experiences I’ve had with a game in a long time! I loved every second of it!

 

Oh, and 5 days till Resident Evil 5 :D

Bioshock 2

"Local fisherman Eamon Clune, 44, and his wife Charlotte (32) were awoken by the sudden shattering of a window in the front room," a document on the site reads. "Moments later, his daughter Maura, age 7, screamed. Mr Clune rushed to investigate the noise only to notice the unknown attacker racing out of the broken window with 'incredible speed'

"Due to the moonless night, Clune was unable to provide a description of the assailant. He notes that the attacker was thin, above average height and wore some kind of 'red light.'"

This here, are the first story details for Bioshock 2. As I said a while back, I was a bit skeptical about the whole thing, but this has certainly restored my faith in the whole game. It’s set seven years after the original, and appears (according to the text above) to be set in Ireland which should also be nice. Still, no release date yet, so all I can do is wait I suppose.

Don’t close the browser. You need to hear about this game.

 

It’s an emotional experience, it’s a near religious experience. It allows you delve into your very soul, your psyche. It leaves you to wonder, to ponder, to wish. It leaves you to dream.

 

I don’t know the story… I heard somewhere it’s a Flowers dream. Whatever it is, it’s a bold and striking statement on the condition of the Earth. At least, that’s what I took it for.

 

Go play it. Now

Keep Me Up To Date

Wow. I haven't blogged in a while. Well that’s gonna change now :P

 

I’ve decided that for today, I’m going to fill you in on everything that’s happened games wise that I feel like commenting on. This may well be a long one xD

 

Firstly, I got the Orange Box for the PS3. I bought it for the sole reason of wanting to play the first three Half Life 2 episodes again in glorious HD, but I’ve become obsessed with TF2 which makes no sense because it’s horrendously broken compared to the PC version…. Still, it’s probably only because I don’t get my arse kicked on it.

 

Trackmania United Forever is immense. I’ve always been a fan of the series, and this is definatly the best one yet. It’s a must buy if your into racing games that don’t take themselves seriously.

 

I considered getting the new Dead Rising game for the Wii, but then read all the reviews for it and changed my mind straight away.

 

However, on a related note, Dead Rising 2 looks fantastic. Also, there’s rumors there’s going to be a PS3 version, which is just gravy.

 

Resident Evil 5 comes out next week! Although I seem to be the only person on the Internet looking forward to this, I’ve still got high hopes for it. Oh, also, I think the control scheme works. Eat that!

Everyone keeps telling me to play Halo Wars, and I have every intention not too.

 

Left 4 Dead downloadable content fails to interest me.

 

That seems to be it… Yea. Pretty much xD

 

More tomorrow!
