James Bond: Blood Stone

This is, without a doubt, the best 007 video game of all time. The missions and action sequences are all exhilarating and there's not a moment that passes where your heart isn't racing with excitement. I think it's so awesome that they added in the driving sequences that allow you to drive a variety of different vehicles, such as Bond's current car, the Aston Martin DBS. I also think it's cool that they used the likenesses of Daniel Craig and Judi Dench in the game to give it a more realistic look. With an amazing and interesting plot, this game is definitely an action-filled adventure from start to finish. I'm really looking forward to the next video game they release in the franchise and, as the game's ending stated, "James Bond will return."

Just Cause 2

I recently bought the PS3 version of the video game, Just Cause 2, and I absolutely love it. The graphics are really amazing, especially the detail in the underwater plants, which gives it a very realistic look. I think it's really cool that the game offers the player a large range of vehicles from cars to motorbikes and boats to planes, with over 100 different vehicles. I really like that they added in the sky-diving element, allowing players to jump out of a plane or helicopter and sky-dive towards the ground, before bringing out their parachute. There is also a large range of different weapons at your disposal, providing the players with support as they explore the detailed open world and complete the exhilarating campaign. Without a doubt, I believe this is one of the most awesome video games of all time.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

It was recently announced that a fourth installment in the Assassin's Creed series, called Assassin's Creed: Revelations, will be released in November 2011. However, this time we will get to play as all three of the main characters; Altair, Ezio and Desmond. At this point of the timeline, Ezio is now going to be 52 years old... There is going to be new features such as a new item called the hookblade, which will allow you to travel around the city at a much faster rate. With the release of a recent teaser trailer, it has suggested that the game will primarily take place in the city of Constantinople. I have no doubt that this willl be an awesome game and I'm really looking forward to November 2011. With the release of the most-recent trailer, it has been implied that this will be the last game featuring Ezio and Altair.

I am really surprised that it's been nearly three years since Ford Kiernan, Greg Hemphill and Paul Riley fell out and they still haven't became friends again. Hopefully they all become friends again so that they can make more Still Game...

Playstation Move

I really can't wait til the 15 September to buy the Playstation Move. I have heard that they are updating some games so that the Playstation Move can also be used to play them. Is anyone else going to get it? I bought it a few weeks ago and I think it's really cool, it's really accurate and is also more comfortable to hold than the Wii motion-controller.

Avatar: Special Edition

I just watched the Extended Special Edition of Avatar in 3D a few hours ago. A few of the new scenes answered a few questions, like the scene with Jake, Norm and Grace in Grace's deserted Na'vi school and T'sutey's full death scene. It was so awesome even though they only added in an extra 9 minutes of footage. Although it would have been so cool if they had added in all the scenes that hadn't made it to the final film. It was really good to watch Avatar in the cinema again and now I really can't wait until "Avatar 2" comes out to see what happens next... I have recently found out that in the DVD/Blu-ray release of the Extended Edition, they are adding in an extra 6 minutes into the film, including the Earth opening, meaning overall, it'll be 15 minutes longer than the original threatical version of the film.

Sherlock Series 2

All three episodes of the first series of the BBC series, Sherlock, have now aired. Actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Sherlock Holmes in the series, has reported that BBC executives really want to do more episodes but are not sure when... The BBC have now officially confirmed that there will be a second series but they don't know how many episodes or when they are going to do them. They have also said for the second series, the episodes will remain at 90 minutes long. :D I will post more information, as comments, as it's revealed
