Game of the Year

For a long time now I've been meaning to put this list up, well actually I needed to decided on the order which I'm doing right now as I type this. Basically I wanted a list or chart of the top games far that have come out this year that I have played. My Game of the Year 2013 chart to show off who is top right now plus what games I found outstanding. So without any more delays here is the full list...

Game of the Year 2013 (Work in progress)
1. Tomb Raider
2. Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm
3. Bioshock Infinite
4. God of War Ascension
5. Gears of War Judgement


So there you have it folks the list so far and yes I know I've bought more games then that this year, example being Ni No Kuni, The Last of Us etc. but I don't think I should include them until I've played for a good few hours or completed them. For all I know the game could turn out terrible half way through and make me hate it.

Anyway Tomb Raider is my top dog right now and Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm was pretty sweet, the other three had some good moments but they was missing something. If Tomb Raider gets knocked down I would still given it a "Outstanding Game" title. 

I will keep updating this list through the year as I play more of the new releases so keep your eyes open for it, cannot wait to see the end of year line up.

Time Flies

The saying time flies when you having fun is very true, plus when you not having fun as well. Hello all and sorry for the delay in posts recently but I've been a little busy. Anyway I thought I would get a quick post in before I need to start rushing around to get ready for work.

So where to begin, well I've bought the Last of Us but really not got that far into it, to be honest I really want to play it but I had a few games I wanted to get sorted before I started to get stuck in with it. For example I had Bioshock Infinite from Lovefilm for the last month (maybe more) and I was about half way through when the Last of Us came out. So over the weekend I spent two evenings playing it and I'm now happy to say it's finished.

Not got the 1,000 gamerscore on it but I can do that another time, right now I just want to finish the stories on most of my games. Anyway Bioshock is a brilliant game! opening is good the middle was a bit dull and could had done with some work but the ending made up for it. It was one of those that left you stunned with the information you just learnt, I won't spoil it but give the game a try.

Anyway so yeah that was one of my games out of the way, the second was Saints Row the Third. It's been on my list to play since the start of the year so I did say to myself that over the summer that I would work on it since there is really nothing coming out. Well Sony decided to throw the game into the PlayStation Plus free games for next month, kicking myself for buying it now. But the version I did pick up was the complete package with all the DLC, so I decided to get all the DLC done before I traded it in (I can complete the main game another day now). That was done on Sunday so I'm doing pretty well with my goals, the last one I've got now is to get the last trophy in Ratchet and Clank QForce which is a proper grind.

I will be working on that on the side while I'm playing The Last of Us this week. Finally going to give it the time it deserves now but the only problem is that Company of Heroes 2 is launching today, doh!. Going to have to split my time for both games since there is no way I can let that sit there on my shelf waiting for a week or two.

On that note I need to go and sort myself out ready for work, it was good catching up with you folks and I promise to try and get another post in the next day or two. Really could do with finishing off the E3 posts lol.
~Iznic

P.S. Really should not have made that promise since I've got two great games to play which no doubt will keep me busy

E3 2013 EA Conference

Morning gamers,
I've been struggling since E3 on how to write this post out, at first I had posts for each conference but I kept getting a writers block right at the start. In the end I decided to go with this and just write my thoughts plus dropping the twitter messages During the live streams I was posting my thoughts on Twitter, it was interesting to do but somethings I wished I could had change. Also it's a nightmare to copy and paste them over to the blog since everything has to be changed to work (font, text size etc.), plus after changing everything the blog post just went weird. Too much time waisted and it was just not worth it, you can see my thoughts anyway on my twitter account which is linked on the side.

Anyway let's jump straight in with the first conference which was the best one in my books and that's EA. Why did I like this one the most? well I found I enjoyed all the games shown, it had some nice surprises and overall I did not have to keep cringing at the presenters script speeches.



So where to begin, well the Garden Warfare at the start was a nice shock. At first I really thought I would hate it when they started talking about it but once they started playing it, well it went on my list to buy when it comes out. I can see it being quite a laugh with a few friends and I really do enjoy Plants vs Zombies. Of course right now it is exclusive to Xbox One and PC which was interesting move on EA's part. Especially with the next game Titan Fall that was shown off again, another Xbox One exclusive. Seems EA are really backing up the Microsoft team this generation. Anyway Titan Fall looks amazing, multiplayer battlefield/future sci-fi with mechs.

I love the fact the mechs are not slow heavy machines, it will definitely make the game more interesting. Few things in the demo they showed off that got my interest the most was when the pilot jumped into the mech and it took seconds to boot up. Nice fast paced jump in and jump out which will work well for the multiplayer, also loved when they rip out a pilot from another mech. Brutal finisher move plus when they jump out their mech and climb on top of another one to blow the circuits in the head to blind them. Shame it's next year though but hopefully not to long into the year, but I would like to see more how the story campaign works since it seems to be integrated into the multiplayer.

Ok onto the next game which wasn't really shown but my god did it cause a riot on the Internet. A small teaser to the next Battlefront game! which will be using the Frost Engine 3 and being developed by the DICE team. Mind was blown when they showed this off and my twitter feed could not keep up with my friends. Really cannot wait to see what they will do with this game but I won't get my hopes up yet, no doubt it be the end of next year at the earliest if we lucky.

Let's see what was next announced, I'm currently watching the stream again while I'm posting so I can remember everything I wanted to talk about. Ohh yeah Dragon Age 3 which I would like to see more and in fact I really could do with playing and completing the first two before buying this. It looked good, it has everything I want from a fantasy game. Dragons, monsters, end of the world but I could not help but chuckle at the green meteors since they remind me of Warcraft 3. But anyway yeah it could be a great game but a lot more needs to be shown off first and as I said I need to play the first two before I start to get excited.

Final game for EA which stole the show for me was Battlefield 4, how amazing was that? 64 player multiplayer now for the next generation consoles. Having that demo level being shown off with the full 64 players playing was such a smart move. I know everyone was shocked on what they saw and it amazing, I loved watching them drop the road with the tank on into the tunnel. The skyscraper at the end was another amazing touch, in fact I watched a new video yesterday that explains when the skyscraper falls it creates rubble every where so it changes the landscape of the level. You now have more cover but at the same time it creates this giant dust cloud so vision becomes impossible in the area it was.

Also the commander option with the tablet was pretty sweet, I loved the missile launch system but I do question how many people will use it. I know it seems to be the big thing this generation to have phone and tablet support but still not so sure on it, but I've not had ago so it could be amazing for all I know.

Anyway folks that is my thoughts on the EA conference, as I said I was really impressed with it and the games. My want list has grown a little thanks to them and I really cannot wait to get my hands on these games, only a few months for some. Don't forget to drop a line with what you thought of this conference, I would love to hear your opinion on what you saw.

One More Special Edition Mii

That's right folks another special edition Mii is up for downloading on your 3DS, this time it's Hayashida and again just pop on over to the Mii Plaza. This should be the last one since E3 is ending today but you never know.

If you not downloaded any before today then it is worth it, make sure you connected to the wi-fi and pop over to Mii Plaza on your 3DS. The special edition Mii will unlock an achievement if you not met one before, in Puzzle swap they will have all the pieces so it's a great way to get those missing rare ones. Finally they also automatically level 5 in StreetPass quest so you have a nice warrior to progress with.

Anyway I'm off again to go play some games and watch the Simpson's, don't worry I've not forgotten the E3 posts just having a bit of writers block with them.

Another Special Mii

Very quick note folks but you can get another special edition Mii character on the 3DS through spotpass. Just like yesterday this could be a one day only deal so just connect to the Internet with your 3DS and pop on over to the Mii Plaza to get a visit from Konno.

Great thing about the special edition Mii's is they have all the puzzle pieces unlocked for Puzzle swap, great way to get your missing rare ones. Plus they also automatically level 5 for StreetPass Quest so a nice advantage there.

So don't miss out and got to say cheers to Dragaknight my mate for making me aware both times of this.

The Day After

Morning gamers,
Well all the main companies have now done their conferences and all that's left now is the show floor information to come. It's been one hell of a E3 this year and I got to say I've been really impressed with all the games this year, I was really shocked how much there is I want this year. Of course it was just games though was it, we had the next generation consoles being fully revealed and now the dust is settled I think its time to start catching up with my blog posts and talk about what I thought.

To start with Sony have won this war with out a doubt, undercutting the Xbox One price by £80 and announcing there won't be any DRM or blocks on Pre-owned was a killing blow. Yes I have read yesterdays comment and saw people was annoyed that publishers can do one time use serial keys but that's already in place with the PlayStation 3. Sony was just confirming that they are keeping the PlayStation 3 policy, chill people.

Anyway for the best show I'm going to go with EA believe it or not, they really surprised me with the amount of games they showed off. Not just the amount though but how impressive they was as well, the 64 player match for Battlefield 4 being shown off was brilliant. Also Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare then the teaser for Battlefront, think they killed the internet when they showed that off.

So yeah it has been great E3 this year and thanks to it I've decided I'm getting a PlayStation 4 first, I do want a Xbox One since they have some nice exclusive games like Ryse, Titanfall, PVZ Garden Warfare, Halo 5 and Project Spark to name a few. If I could buy both at launch I will but the PlayStation 4 is the first thing I'm buying, the console looks better, cheaper, no restrictions and the share stuff looks amazing. Plus they too have some nice exclusives, e.g. Killzone, The Order 1886, Witness, Knack etc.

Think I need to put a list together of all the games I want and start working out a savings plan because it's going to be a expensive year that's for sure. It's a great time to be a gamer right now though, anyway I'm going to shoot so I can start getting the E3 conference posts up.

By the way before I do run off I do have to say this year had way too many techincal problems, games crashing, bad feeds etc. quite a lot to be normal plus for god sake stop with the terrible scripts. Watching people playing the demos on stage and do the robot talk is annoying "this is fun" "lets go this way" "hi friend, you come to join me on adventure". Stop it! it's annoying!

P.S. Your thoughts on E3 this year? Loved it? Hated it?

E3 Downloads and Freebies

Right folks not sure how long these will be up for so make sure to download them today while you have the chance. First up on the 3DS you can get a special Mii character through spot pass, make sure you connected to your wi-fi and load up StreetPass Mii Plaza. Might have to leave your 3DS on for a while to pick up the spotpass first though. Anyway you get Iwata dressed up in a Luigi outfit for your trouble and of course if you not had a special Mii you will unlock the achievement as well, added bonus is that he has all the puzzle pieces so if you missing a super rare one here is your chance.


Now for a freebie, you can get Fable 3 on Xbox Live for free right now! not sure if this is a mistake or not but just search it on xbox live. There are cases that you have to click "add points" option to get it to appear up as a free purchase download. Great game just a shame the ending was not up to par with the rest of the game but still worth a download, cannot complain about it being free.

E3 My Hopes and Dreams

I've been thinking for the last week what I would like to see from E3 this year and to be honest I struggled to make a huge list, I think it's because both Microsoft and Sony have already announced their next consoles. Several big games have already been announced as well so I'm not expecting too much this year. But I still have a few things I want to see and hoping for so let's get stuck in.

Nintendo
Lets start with the 3DS since that is the easiest one, I've already got three games coming out this year I want. Pokemon X & Y, Professor Layton and of course Phoenix Wright 5 so I'm pretty sorted for the year for my DS. I would love to see the announcement for the crossover of Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton coming to the west, that would make my week. Other then that I'm not expecting anything, although it would be cool to see a nice limited Pokemon 3DS for the launch of X and Y.

Onto the main console for Nintendo and I'm still not got it yet, the Wii U. Really not tempted for it yet since there is only one game I would play right now and that's the new Monster Hunter. Yes Lego City does look awesome but for some reason I'm not that sold on it, think I prefer it when they based on a movie series. Anyway if they announced a full Pokemon game or MMO for the Wii U then I would go out and buy a Wii U for it, it would be some awesome and on so many levels. Better stop there before I start getting hyper and excited, we will be here for hours talking about all the ideas they could do. So yeah the Wii U needs a lot more games that I like for it, in fact it just needs more games in general.

Microsoft & Sony - Next Generation
I've put both together because what I want is the same, basically I want to see some amazing games and plenty of exclusives. A good launch line up and I want to see the consoles running, none of this "later" nonsense. At the end of the day I want to know how I navigate through my console, can I run pre-owned etc. Details will be the big thing to persuade me to upgrade to the next generation and of course games.

At the end of the day if both are coming out at the same time or close enough then only one can be bought for the time being. I'm hoping to walk away from this E3 with one winner, I probably will get the other next year when it's calmed down and I can save some money (unless the other console is terrible of course).

In fact Sony are winning right now in my books but I've not written out Microsoft just yet, plus since I've not seen the console or seen it running properly I'm still 100% committed yet. If they announced Uncharted 4 tonight then I will be throwing my wallet at them.

Sony - Vita
More games please! lots of games would be nice since it's been too quiet recently. Yes I know there is Killzone coming out but I would like to see more then that. It's great that it can hook up with the PS4 and stream some games but I actually want some Vita games.


That's it folks on my thoughts and to be honest I just want to some great games announced, both new IP and sequels. Really excited right now to see what everyone has up their sleeves and it's just over two hours to go. I'm like a kid at Christmas right now, don't think I can get any more hyper.

Pre-E3 Konami Conference

Well once again Konami have done a Pre-E3 conference and this year I can actually say there is nothing on it that I want.



Not interested in sports so that ruled out Pro Evo 14 straight away, few talks of mobile games that did not interest me. Then of course we have Metal Gear Solid 5 which I could never really get into the series so I was really not that interested in the new voice actor for it. Maybe one day I will give it a try but for now there are plenty of other games that are more important to me.

Finally Castlevania 2 trailer which took up most of the conference, looks nice and to be honest would normally be up my street but I played the first one. It was terrible and I hated the controls with a passion, thank god it only cost me something like £1-5. CG trailers always make games look amazing but yeah I'm sticking away from it.

So overall to me the conference had nothing of interest, only reason I'm posting it up is so you my readers can check it out because there might be something on there you like. Guess it's a good thing that there was nothing I like since my want list is huge right now and it will only get worse once E3 is over.

One day to go!

Morning folks,
Cannot believe how behind I am with my blog posts this week, I've had a brilliant week off from work though. Honestly not sure where to begin since there is quite a few posts I wanted to do this week and most of them I wanted done before E3 which starts tomorrow.

So lets begin with what I've been playing this week, well I've had a little time on Warcraft, Star Wars Old Republic and Starcraft but nothing major to report there though. Although I will say that I did start a new character on Star Wars and made a Jedi this time around, I'm actually enjoying it more then my Bounty Hunter. Might actually get into more but we will see, depends if I can put the time into the game.

On the console side I have been working on Lost Planet 2 believe or not, at the start of the week I decided to dig through my pile of games and went with it. It's not a bad game but not great either, the levels are split up into 5-10 minute missions which you get scored on how well you did. Then there are one or two boss missions then it ends the chapter, I enjoy the big boss fights but I am a bit shocked how rubbish the story is so far. Right now though I do want to complete the game because as I said I really enjoy the boss fights, finding the weaknesses and taking it out a step at a time. Even more fun when you using one of the mech suits to take it down with. Can't say I will be stick with it for the full 1,000 gamerscore though since the achievement is insane, talking over a dozen playthroughs for some of the achievements.

I'm also playing Bioshock Infinite finally thanks to Lovefilm, not got that far into it since the disc arrived only a few days ago and I've been busy since then. So far though I'm enjoying the game but I am waiting for it to pick up, going to give it some time later so fingers crossed it will get more interesting later. Other then that I have started Phoenix Wright Trials and Tribulations again since I never finished it, actually I did get to the third episode of the five but then I lost the game so I've had to re buy it a few months back. So far I had only redone the first episode so I'm now working on the second one, think I'm near the end so another session and I should be back where I left off.

Anyway that is it for my gaming news today folks and I will end it here because I want to start writing the other posts for my blog, there are been plenty of more gaming announcements so I want to talk about them and get myself up to date so I'm ready for tomorrow. I will be attempting to live tweet again my thoughts as I watch the conference on my Twitter account then copy and paste onto a blog post after. Hopefully it will go better then the Xbox One conference attempt anyway.

It Begins...

You can tell when E3 is right around the corner because every day leading up to it there are ton of announcements happening. Not many leaks this year though but still early days on that, I'm expecting it to go crazy by the end of the week. Anyway let's get back on topic and talk about the latest new announcements from the last few days.

So where to start, well Plants vs Zombies 2 It's about time has been given a new trailer. What's amazing is that the subtitle was not just a reference about fans waiting for so long, no in fact there will be time travel in this game.



Egypt, Wild West and the Future was mentioned in the trailer and so far there as been a screen shot for Egypt with a mummy style zombie. Love the new pea pod type plant shown half way through the trailer as well, but the biggest announcement was the fact the game will be a free-to-play one. Bit worried about that since I hate micro-transactions with a passion, really hope they don't expect to use to keep forking out for each type of plant or to access most of the levels. Guess we will have to wait and see, next week should clear up most of the details so not point in worrying too much yet.

Speaking of new games we do have details finally on the Halo Spartan Assault game, yes it was not the tv series after all. In fact it's a game for Windows 8 devices, so the phone, surface tablet and operating systems (laptops, PC etc). Bit of a shock there to be honest but I'm guessing they trying to make it worth while picking up a Windows 8 device. Check out the trailer below which was posted up this morning, this time we will be playing as a female spartan set between Halo 3 and 4.



Looks very interesting and there is unlocks and bonuses for Halo 4, the over top play is different but if done right could be great. Check out Xbox360achievements.org post about playing some of the levels, I'm definitely going to give the trial ago if they put one up. Not long to wait for it either since it's slated for a July release which is funny since Plants vs Zombies 2 is as well. Might have a busy summer of handheld device games with the way it's going.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I did say there was a lot to talk about today and this is just a quick one, a mini teaser video as gone live for Deus EX the Fall. That's pretty much all we know about it, not sure if it's a game or DLC or even worse case scenario a book. A voice asks if we ready to begin then a date of tomorrow is shown (5th June 2013) so hopefully it will be cleared up tomorrow. I loved the Deus EX game and I would love to see a sequel some time this year or even a next generation game. In fact I really could do with playing through it again since I never did go through the DLC levels.



Anyway no doubt I will be posting tomorrow with whatever the announcement is, praying for a game and when I say a game I mean a proper console one not a handheld or mobile device one. Finally one more piece of information to talk about and then you can stop reading my ramblings.

Fable One HD as been confirmed today....no joke, I could not stop laughing this morning when I saw the news. After posting up that E3 list and talking about Fable 4 possibility I was thinking about that I've never had chance to play the very first one. Then within minutes of me thinking that the trailer goes up saying it's coming in HD format for the Xbox 360.



Love the hidethechickens hashtag at the end, my friends would always speak of kicking chickens when they talk about this game. So looks like I will be able to finally play the first one after all so I cannot wait to give it a try, wish they would stop with all the new releases though. This year is getting really expensive and we not even at E3 yet, god help me next week.

On this note folks I'm going to head off and play some games, have a good one and I will talk to you all later.

Rumour: Xbox One Games

It wouldn't be E3 without rumours going around before or in fact leaks of upcoming announcements. Last night it was posted around what could be the line up for the Xbox One console, don't take it as fact though folks since it could be a fake. No Kinect titles are listed and this is Microsoft we talking about so we should be expecting at least two-three. Also the image of the Halo game logo just looks wrong, so right now I'm 50% thinking this could be a fake but if it wasn't though then my god Microsoft could be on a winner here. Check out the list below...
  • Halo 5
  • Killer Instinct
  • Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty Land
  • Forza Motorsport 5
  • Quantum Break
  • Halo: Spartan Assault
  • Ryse
  • Fable IV
  • Crackdown 3
  • Fortnite
  • Dead Rising 3
  • Call of Duty: Ghosts
  • Battlefield 4
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
  • Dying Light
  • Prey 2
  • Homefront 2
  • Beyond Good & Evil 2
  • Mirror's Edge 2
  • Rainbow 6: Patriots
  • Brother in Arms: Furious Four
  • League of Legends
So big names to talk about we have Crackdown 3 which is one of my favourite open world games ever, if they make it as much fun as the last two then my god I need an Xbox One to play it. You then got of course Halo 5 which needs to be really good after 4 being a little of a let down. Halo Spartan is in fact meant to be revealed today, not sure if it's a game or the TV series but people are saying it will be all cleared up today.

Fable 4 I'm not shocked about but I am looking forward to seeing a new one since I loved 2, 3 was brilliant as well except the ending war terrible. Hopefully they can bring back the magic and end the next one good. The thing on that list that jumps out to me is League of Legends, my god if that comes to consoles it would be awesome.

As I said though this is all rumours so not going to get excited until E3, there was a list of Capcom games announced as well. Dead Rising 3 is meant to be a Xbox One exclusive but PlayStation 4 gets Dragons Dogma 2, I think I will need both consoles at this rate. Check out the xbox360achievements.org post about this rumour, they have a lot more information plus the Neogaf source where this list appeared.

Less then a week to go for E3

God of War Ascension Collectors Edition Unboxing

Thought it would be a good idea to get another unboxing post up, this one has been on the cards for the last few weeks now. This is the God of War Ascension Collector's Edition, it contained the steel book special edition plus the extra season pass and Kratos figurine.

The box was just simple cardboard design with the golden dark shadow effect that's been used for the theme through out the advertisement campaign of the game. On the one side you could see the front cover of the steel book and the other side shows the figurine it self.


As you can see in the top picture there was some assemble required when it came to the Kratos figurine, both arms needed to be attached. I was bit disappointed with the figurine it self due to the fact the plastic was quite cheap, the figure was painted nice and the detail was good. What was really annoying though was the arms had to be slotted onto pegs to be attached and who ever did the design cut the peg shape wrong on the one arm. It took me nearly thirty minutes to finally get the arm on and I had to use a knife to cut the shape inside better. This was a huge mistake on their part and when you forking £80 out for a edition like this, this should not be happening.


Another thing you will notice is that on the head is a red dot where a bit of paint was splashed, I've ignored it and counted it as blood but overall I really expected better quality control. Least it still looks good on my shelf with the rest of my collection. So other then the figurine in the box was the special edition which was a steelbook case with several DLC included (plus the season pass for the collectors edition). In the way of the DLC it was all multiplayer bonuses and the soundtrack, so lets skip over that and talk about the steel book.

Steel book Cover and Slipcase

The outside is just black with the God of War symbol and a slip case cover for protection, the inside though had some amazing artwork. It features two warriors from the multiplayer mode and I loved the work gone into the drawing, I would preferred this on the cover to be honest.

Steelbook artwork
Overall it was an ok Collectors edition but I really did not feel like I got my money out of it, a lot of the bonus DLC was multiplayer in the ways of XP boosting. The season pass content has not gone live yet, well I don't think it as but there is no options on the menu to find out in the game. Guessing I have to complete the multiplayer tutorial to find out. Anyway I'm getting off topic, nice steel book and the figurine was just ok but could had been a lot better. Not the best collectors edition out there and if I was given a choice then I probably would had just picked up the special edition instead. So that is it for my short unboxing today folks, I will find a much nicer collectors edition to talk about next time but until then have a good one.

Summer Begins

Afternoon folks,
Well the summer has begun and it's been nearly two weeks since I've done anything really on my blog. Sorry about that folks but I thought I had only missed last week but checking back I let the side down on the week before as well.

It's been quite busy here and I've had a lot of my plate, any free time I had spare I decided to use for gaming of course. Anyway I'm off for the week now so time to chill, have a few days out and maybe get some gaming in as well. In fact I just got back from the Last of Us lock in in my local GAME store and I got to say I am shocked and amazed on how great this game is.


The demo I played is an extended version of the God of War demo that had just gone live on Friday. So starting off I was given a run down of the information I need to play through with, first up I had only four bullets and told not to expect to find many either. Nice start and I feel really weak now, next up yes I have shiv type knife for stealth kills but be careful it can break after use. Dang I was not expecting to be this defenceless, good news there is a crafting system so through the game you can search for items to use to make useful stuff. So for example scissors, tape, cloth etc can all help to make med kits, knifes, hell there is batteries to power your torch. At one point I combined a plank of wood with scissors using some tape to make a pick club.

I will say this now do not expect to run through blasting away and full on attack, the horrible mutants are blind but can hear noise. Soon as you start shooting they know where you are plus it takes some good head shots to kill them, if they get close it's over. The game is about strategy, using stealth and cunning to get through the level. For example they blind but can hear noise, later on in the demo I got a Molotov cocktail so I had no regrets throwing it on the floor to watch the mutant charge over to the noise only to set it self on fire while I move past quickly. I even got into a one versus three brawl mid way through the game after killing a mutant with an headshot because they heard the gun go off.

The game is brilliant and hard if you not thinking about what you doing but my god folks I would recommend this game to anyone after playing this short demo. I really cannot wait for 14th June now so I can start getting into it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So other then going to play the lock in I have finally finished Lego Lord of the Rings on the PlayStation 3 last week, clocked the platinum trophy on Sunday I think it was. Very happy to finally finish it and get it sent back to Lovefilm and since then I have been working on Ratchet and Clank Qforce which is a tower defence game. It's quite short with only five levels so I finished the story this afternoon and now just moping up the missing trophies.

I've currently not really got any plans for this weeks gaming other then just play what I feel like, found it quite hard to be honest to get into anything. Got plenty to finish up and plenty to start as well, just need to find something that will take my interest. Well anyway that's it for now folks because I want to go play some games, have a good one and I will try to get a few more posts up later.
