Hi guys,

It's been a few weeks since my last entry, but nothing much more to report other than I turned 20!!!  Went out for a few nights in a row, got pretty drunk and forgot a good chunk of it, so all in all it was a good birthday!

Now pertaining to the title of this entry, I have been playing Tiger Woods 2006 on my 360 and damn it if it aint the hardest 360 game I've played yet to get Gamerpoints!!!  So far I've only unlocked 5 out of the 16 achievements for a measly 150 points!!!  It was only after investing some serious time in developing my player offline that I learnt that achievement points for Tiger Woods can only be earnt during online play.  Let's just say I wasn't a happy camper!!  I'm going for the "Aces Wild" achievement at the moment, which involves hitting 25 Holes-in-One.  Some of you may say "thats impossible!!" but when you take the factor of Gamebreakers into account,. it's actually a pretty makeable achievement.  For the uninitiated I'll quickly explain; when you make decent drives or accurate approach shots in Tiger Woods, your Gamebreaker bar grows.  When it's full, then you've earnt a Gamebreaker shot, that is way more powerful and accurate.  Using one of these when teeing off from a par 3 hole almost guarantees that you'll get a hole-in-one.  However, it doesn't always guarantee you'll get it in, and it's a real pain in the arse to miss because it means that you'll have to play another whole round just to earn a Gamebreaker to get your hole-in-one!  I think I'm up to around 10 now, so with a bit of patience (and luck) I should be able to get the achievement soon.

Anyway, it's now less than *5* months until the PS3 is launched, so I decided to pre-order one at EB (because I have a strong suspicion that there's going to be a real shortage of them in Australia once its released!).  I put my first $AUD100 down as a deposit (thats 100 Australian dollars), so I only have $900 more to pay on it!!

Well that's just about it from me, for anyone who hasn't already, check out the new gameplay trailer for the upcoming Sonic game on XBOX360 and PS3, it looks fantastic!  It looks like the gameplay is going to bring the games back to the Sonic Adventure series (some of my all-time favourite games).  Oh and for those who are fans of the Hitman series, be sure to have a look at Hitman: Blood Money (on 360 of course!)
