Best Opening To A Videogame Ever

I could never, EVER get tired of this. Best opening to a videogame ever. Fact....

Too…. Many…. Games… D:

A mate of mines went on holiday for a fortnight, and he’s left for me a stack of Xbox 360 games to play while he’s gone. These include (deep breath needed, reader): Assassins Creed, Bioshock, Left 4 Dead, Gears of War, Dead Space, Fable 2, Grid, PGR4 and Flatout: Ultimate Carnage.

 

I have a LOT to play xD

Oh Bother

I’m addicted, again.

 

*sighs*

Left 2 Dead

Discovered today that the Xbox Version of this can be played online split-screen so me and a mate, being the old fashioned gamers that we are, decided to give it a go.

 

It was great fun. We played a full Versus game of No Mercy, me as the infected and a friend as the survivors. It was brilliant fun. However, on the last section I was pulled off a ledge by a smoker. No biggy, happens all the time. So Zoey comes to pull me up…. and walks off the edge. So now she needs saving. So Francis comes over to help. And does the same thing. Then Bill get’s pounced by the hunter.

 

Mum’s were mentioned guys. Mums.

Discworld Noir

My Dad got another copy of this today! I can’t wait to start playing it again. It’s by far, hands down, one of the greatest stories ever told in a videogame. I love it to bits! It’s Terry Pratchett at his best, and that’s saying something!

 

Me and a mate are gonna install it on my laptop tomorrow night and just get it all done on Sunday :) It’s gonna rock!

Updates, Updates, Updates…

I came home this evening and decided, like I do every Thursday, to check the Playstation store for goodies for me to purchase. As I booted it up, it informed that an update had become available. “The rumored glory of Version 2.7?” I hear you roar? The very same.

 

So I sat and waited for it download (40 minutes spent reading “Making History” by Stephan Fry is certainly not time wasted), and by the time it had finished I was literally frothing with excitement. Were the rumors true? Has Sony finally upgraded their online community to a level that could directly challenge Xbox Live? Has Sony’s day finally come, and together me and my Sony brethren will traverse the plains of this generation, and take the crown from Microsoft's head!?!

 

No. Basically, the rumors were bull turd. All it added was this really quite poor instant messaging service. Also, Peggle still isn’t on the Playstation store.

 

Then I went on the Xbox and that needed to update too. Then I lost all my Dead Rising saves.

 

Basically, I’m pretty fucking fed up if I’m honest xD

The Humorous Dead

The last time I played Dead Rising was about… well almost a year ago I think. Yea about that. I loved it, but got stuck about an hour of the way in (the second case strand, if anyone's interested). Anyway, I only realise now (and bearing in mind I got this yesterday, which proves how little I played it the last time) that I only teetered on the edge that is Zombie Hell.

 

Ok, I understand that I’m three years behind and that everyone and their mother has finished Dead Rising but I don’t care. There is nothing more satisfying than smacking a zombie over the head with a frying pan, kicking him in the face and then mowing him down with a lawnmower. Honest, there just REALLY isn’t!

 

It’s made me hungry for Dead Rising 2 if I’m honest. The only thing that’s bothering me is, do I get it for Xbox or PS3?

 

Answers on a postcard.
