A Bit About Games

Right.

NFS Shift, the best Need For Speed game I've played. I've played all of them.
The series need a track racer, and thank god that they made it mostly track. The down side would be a bit too easy even on normal/hard.

Fifa 10, In the Uk its out on Friday (02/10/09). The Demo is top-notch, and it says that the quality isn't represented in the demo so I'm expecting a high quality game, but I dont wanna get my expectations too high though.

Football Manager 2010, I love Football Manager 2009, but I think Tottenham are under-rated on the game, and thats a same, theres no starting transfer budget and they've made them as rubbish as they possibly can. As long as they make them decent with money in Football Manager 2010, it'll be twice as better as FM09.

Tottenham's great start to the EPL season.

Well last year, Tottenham broke 2 records;
- Worst start to a season ever, only 2 points from 8 matches, a draw against both Man Utd and Chelsea.
- Least goals concede at home - 10.

This year they've had their best start to a season since the 1960s.

After the International break we play against two tough matches vs Man Utd and then Chelsea.

Thats my newest blog about something I do care about, Tottenham and football.

English Football.

Well the English Premier League (EPL) is due to start in just under 3 weeks time and I honestly can't wait. I hate the period between the end of May and well the middle of August.
I watched my first Tottenham game of the season, well it was pre-season friendly, but it technically was the first match I watched on tv. I'm hoping to actually going to White Hart Lane (Tottenham's home ground) this season because I didn't manage to last season. The only highlight of the time between seasons are the prospects of new players joining and players leaving their respective clubs. I just like looking to see who brought in who. Like Manchester City have signed 3 pretty big players already, Man City were taken over by a United Arab Emirates group back in July last year and made them the richest club in the world. They've broughtEmmanuel Adebayor fromArsenal for £25mil, Carlos Tevez's loan expired from Man City's local rivals Man Utd, and they got Tevez from the MSI who own about 25% of south American players unless fully brought out, so he was basically 'free agent,' which means they are without a team at the moment, and they paid the MSI £25mil. They also brought in Blackburn Rovers' Paraguayan striker Roque Santa Cruz for about £17mil.
Tottenham's only signings so far this window have been 2 defenders. Kyle Naughton, 19 and Kyle Walker, 20 both from Sheffield United.

Hola!

I'm back from Spain. I absolutely hate flying I panic when my ears start to pop themselves and we went through clouds and the plane was rocking I was secretly pooping myself! :oops:
The appartment we were staying in had a pool which we had for about 4 days then it broke! It was leaking so the water wasn't filling quick enough. So we had to wait for a day to go back in it, then the water was way to deep for me, but I managed to float with a football. :) So I swam out to the deep end and grabbed onto the ladder and dropped down to the bottom to figure out how deep it was. It was pretty deep. I'm about 5foot 8 or 9, but you had to be about 6foot 4 or 5 to be able to touch to floor and have your head above the water. Thank god for being able to swim! :D Nightlife was fantasic, theres this place called the square and its basically a square (duh!) full of bars, nightclubs and restaurants, so we just stayed in the square in the night or back at the appartment to keep track of wimbledon, with Andy Murray flying the British Flag. :) I don't want you to be bored reading this so I'm leaving it here. :)

Thats my holiday in a nutshell.

Off to Sunny Spain!!

Well I'm off to sunny Spain tomorrow morning 8)
I'll be gone for a week to get away from it all at home. I've just finished my work in school, and I mean just! I finished it today and I needed to finish it today otherwise I would have failed!
But my school work is in and now I can celebrate and rest in the lovely beaches of Benidorm. Although I will be in the swimming pool constantly outside my appartment until the night, because the beaches get crowded and I hate crowded places, and I love swimming pools :)

Well I'll leave a blog a week tomorrow to let you all know how it went and that I'm back.

(Anyone know why I've lost 4 emblems today? :? I hope I get them back because I've only got 20 :lol:.)

A Few Games I'm Interested In.

Prototype
I've ordered it and it's due for tomorrow morning. I was a bit disappointed that there was no demo, but I've watched some footage on various sites and thought it looked fairly good. I've had a look around and people seem adamant that this game is a mixture of Grand Theft Auto IV, Crackdown and inFAMOUS. I personally like all 3. I am also a big fan of free roamers, I hate
not being able to go where I want to go. I like the idea of being to change to practically anything, I like the idea of being able to hide in a crowd of people it reminds me of Assassin's Creed. I read up on the story and I was pretty confused, it seems to be a three-way battle according to Gamespot, but I'm looking forward to getting it tomorrow.

The Sims 3
I've had it for a little over a week now, andobviously it's just like The Sims 2, but a whole lot better. My personal highlight is being able to buy and drive cars. I think I would love more if you could have pets, so I'm hoping they will add The Sims 3: Pets, just like the did with The Sims 2. I like the whole being a parent, I think it makes the game more challenging, especially if you gave your self 4 children with a very low budget, but some how I've managed to cope with full time working Sims parents. I think they could have made the game a bit more visual, like being able to watch your Sim either at work, school, at the stadium, or even watch the match that your Sim is watching. I also would have liked a more sporty feel to it, like having a soccer net and have a soccer ball and have a kick about with your Sim family or friends in your back garden or the Park. Which could also lead to a Tennis Court, even a Baseball Field at the Park. I believe that the posibilties are endless for what you should have been able to do with your Sims. Everytime I go on The Sims 3board, there is a topic about killing a Sim, I find that both funny and pointless. Overall The Sims 3
was a very good buy.

The Fifa Series
I'm very excited for Fifa 10 to come out around October, I like seeing what type of new features they bring out. I'm personally hoping for more leagues and more game modes for us to play with. I also hope that they make the trick feature a bit more useable so that you can use it with out wondering which trick you've just used. I'm also hoping that they add a Training Mode, or even the option to add more players to the Free Roam Arena if they don't include the Training Mode. If they include the Adidas Live Season in Fifa 10, they should use the formations that were used in that weeks football. I'm hoping that they leave out Ulimate Team because I now think that I wasted my money on it. The FIfa 09 forum is packed with Ultimate Team topics, which I find annoying,I personally believe that there should be a seperate forum for the Ultimate Team.

DJ Hero
When I was watching the E3 Live Show, I was shocked when I saw DJ Hero, I've always liked playing Guitar Hero, it makes me feel like I'm actually playing a guitar, so I'm itching to get my hands on DJ Hero and see what a turntable is like in a game. Of course I believe it will be hard, but I think the only hard thing at hard/expert level would probably be the speed in which the notes would travel towards you seeming as their are only three buttons on the Turntable instead of the usual five on the Guitar. I had a look on youtube a day or two after that Live Show I checked out some videos on youtube and had a look at the speeds on the different levels, which look to be the usual Easy, Medium, Hard and Expert. I also looked at the type of music that we would be expecting to be playing to, there was Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani and Benni Benassi seem to be three of the apparent 100 songs that are going to be available on DJ Hero.
