Happy 2008 GS users!. I have had a little break over the christmas holidays with friends and family but last week it was back to college for me. I was pretty much given piles of coursework to get thorugh as soon as I got back and its has really eaten up any time I have had to myself of the last couple of weeks. I study a games design course at college and for the most part of it I am analysing every aspect of the new media industry which can get a little boring after a while. Anyways today I decided to get rid of my PSP, yep after having my second PSP for a couple of months I was not happy with it and traded it in at Gamestation. I took down my PSP lite and 4 games and I got £130 for them which I bought BioShock, Command and Conquer 3, Mass Effect and Rainbow Six: Vegas I still have a credit note so I am going to wait for Burnout Paradise to be released next week.

I will explain the reasons for getting rid of the PSP Lite. Its way too fragile and dosnt have the same, well-built, feel of the original PSP. The disc tray is very fragile and feels like it will break everytime I opened it. The battery life isnt all its cracked up to be, at one point I found myself charging the thing everyday!. It isnt that much faster than the PSP phat, and even in some cases it is alot slower. I have relalised the lack of decent games on the PSP, if you cant already buy the same game on the Xbox 360's marketplace then it isnt worth playing. Only a handfull of games, GTA:VCS, Tekken: Dark Ressurection, Tony Hawks Underground 2 Remix and Fight Night are actually worth playing.

I have got round to completing a couple of games over the holiday. I completed Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Veteren, which is the difficulty it should be played on. I completed Guitar Hero 3 on expert which is something I never thought that I would ever do after Hard modes difficulty nearlly broke my fingers. I have just posted my review for Assassin's Creed which is an amazing game. I also completed Halo 3 on normal, I will go through that game agian on Legendary using a guide so I can get the skull achievements.

Before I go, this week I decided to buy a Madden game and I found Madden 07 for £13. I got the really easy 700 points by simulating the seasons for 30 years. The disc was in fairly bad condition so I took it back the next day and got my £13 back :D. 700 gamerpoints for free!
