Okay, guys. I really apologise for going AWOL recently. I really needed a break from GameSpot so I decided to make my profile private and just disappear for a couple of weeks. Anyway, I'm now back for good.

Recently, I haven't been getting in much gaming at all. Mostly due to the fact that I have pretty much completed every game I own. The last game I bought was Bad Company 2, which in my eyes was a bit of a disappointment. But there's a new game I am definitely getting on Friday!

Red Dead Redemption looks freaking awesome! Seriously, this could actually beat Mass Effect 2 as my favourite game of the year. I've gotta say, I'm pretty guilty of ignoring Red Dead so far, mostly due to the fact I wasn't very familar with the name. However, I just checked on MetaCritic and the game has a 95. Better than games such as Halo 3, Gears of War and Call of Duty 4. The open world looks stunning and as most of you will probably know, I am a massive GTA/Rockstar fan so I am sure to love this game! Definitely getting on Friday!

Also, Steam was also recently brought to the Mac so I downloaded it and snagged Portal for free. Which is an awesome, awesome game, although it does my brain hurt a bit. So, if you're on Steam, you can add me as a friend my gamertag on it is danscfc.

So, again, apologies for disappearing off the face of the Earth, and I'm not going to disappear like that again. I have my first GCSE exam today, so wish me luck!
