It's been awhile.

How folks. Been almost a month since I last left something here.
I've been fairly active in reviewing though, which is something right?
Lord knows I couldn't do it (write reviews) professionally, but it's good to be able to add a little something ontop of whatever score I give a game. Tell you why it got that score.
Why I think you should get that game and avoid that one like the plague. Good stuff.

Games I've bought since my last entry include:

Hitman: Blood Money - Awesome game.
Soul Calibur 3 - Also pretty decent.
Nintendogs - Cool.
Call of Duty 2 - Suprisingly good.
And theres probably one or two more, but I'm braindead.

I recently stopped being a cheap bastard and paid for a gold account on Xbox live.
Gamer tag Dimsey as you can probably see, if you'd like to look me up or whatever.

Game of choice at the moment is Call of Duty 2.
I'm avoiding team games as I don't have a mic and they don't seem to get them in here, so it might be awhile.
Figured team games would be best if I could actually respond to whoever I'm playing with.
But even just deathmatch is pretty fine.
I forget the name of my weapon of choice, but it's a sniper rifle.
I tried over weapons, but I'm nowhere near accuarate enough for them. Reasonably bad vision. I can't even get close enough to kill them with some of the other guns.
But Sniper Rifle I can waltz into battle and if I'm lucky pick off 1 or 2 folk before someone puts a bullet inbetween my eyes.
Great game.
And I don't normally like WW2 games so from me thats something.

360 stock is running dry.
By that I mean the store I go too doesn't seem to be getting anything new in. They've had almost exactly the same games in since it launched in March, with the only addition that I'm aware of being Rockstar Table Tennis.
The only ones I'm interested in that I haven't got yet though are Kameo, Quake 4, Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter and Far Cry: Instincts; Predator.
I just hope they have some more in by the time I pick those off.

Chromehounds is supposed to be out soon.
I found the demo to be a little bland, but I'm fairly certain it'd be more exciting playing against real people with a mech of my design.
Some of the complaints people had, like pace being to slow don't bother me - they're mechs for christ sake! Pretty much walking tanks. They aren't going to zoom across maps.
The only thing that really bothered me were the graphics.
Now I'm not a graphicswhore in the slightest.
But the Mechs look so good and the enviroments just oh so bland that it just doesn't look/feel right.
Still, we'll see how things go when the full version comes out.

Also, Prey.
I haven't had the chance to play the demo.
Over a gig is a bit too steep for me to wait out.
But I've heard good things about it thusly I'll likely pick that up when it comes out also.

Anyway, that'll do for now.
Later.
