Well it's been a bit longer than I wanted between blogs, two months, although by the looks of it no one is reading them any more but I will continue to write them regardless. The main two reasons I have not written anything is because I did have a bit of an accident at work that involved passing out and hitting my head, so wasn't really thinking so clearly for a little while and the other is I have been quite sick over the new year so not the best start for me but can't go any worse than last year.

Any one big update on the games front is I got a new Xbox360 mainly due to the fact I hated all those games that were just sitting there doing nothing but collecting dust, so that was a the main driving factor and the other was I knew that the newer models featured HDMI output so I knew that I could take advantage of that, and it was a bonus that all I had to do is buy the arcade pack as I had everything else I needed. Good to see that Microsoft has done away with the wired controllers even with the basic package now so it comes inline with the other systems for coming with it. Also the deal I picked up was pretty good too getting another five games for just another £25 on top of the price them being Kameo, Viva Pinata, Project Gotham 3, Fuzion Frenzy 2 and Xbox Live unplugged volume 1, although I now own that twice but couldn't pass that price up, so now I have plenty of extra games to keep me going and even more from Xmas as I seemed to get loads from people for some odd reason, not that I am fussed since I am enjoying them, and they are Blue Dragon which is better than the Gamespot review suggests, Lost Planet, Star Trek Legacy (I'm a big Trek fan so I am enjoying not perfect but good and looks spot on) and Fifa 08 so much better than I was expecting and better than PES at the moment in my opinion since Konami have let the team behind that get lazy and stop improving it. I also picked up Smackdown vs Raw 2008, yes I know I now have it twice but the Wii version is a different game, but I have to say this game seems very lazy and actually a step back in terms of what was added in the 2007 version, all that's been improved are the visuals, they even too out the weight difference system which made the last one far more tactical, so shocked now I have it.

As for my Wii it has taken a break need to finish the awesome Super Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario but just taking a rest from it for now and have been trying to get some Wii points from the new Nintendo Europe site only managed to get 500 so far with the stars I have earned, have loads more but they don't come on the site often and need at least 500 more points so I can get King of Fighter 94, I'm not spending any money until I get rid of my stars and get all the Wii points I can first. Well off to not sleep and choke up a lung.
