Where have the days gone…
Aug 16th
I have just realised that I have not posted anything now for ages, I have just been busy with work and cramming in games where I can. So to update..
With the help of my eldest son ‘Jazza97′ I completed Crackdown 2 while playing it co-op, I will do a proper write up on this game in the near future but it was fun to play it with others.
Starcraft 2 is coming along nicely, the campaign is really well paced and really well presented. I shouldn’t be surprised really as Blizzard just do stuff this well.
Providing Scan get their act together I should have my PC upgrade sorted this week, can finally dump my slow Core 2 Duo for a nice shiny i5 running at 4 GHz… Mmmm
Games videos that have excited me..

Bioshock 2, you know what they say about sequels…
May 10th
… they are never as good as the originals…
Well in most cases anyway, but Bioshock 2 sadly fits into this category. Now I loved the first game, I thought it had great atmosphere and a great little story with a good twist. I was worried that a second game wouldn’t be able to recreate the same package and it seems like I was correct.
First off you are now a Big Daddy, sounds cool right? Well it should be except you feel about as strong as a wet paper bag… I got around this by pretending I was a frail human being again, which worked for the most part until the story kept reminding me I was a Big Daddy.. Grrr.
I played the first Bioshock on the PC, so maybe the atmosphere was better through headphones but the 360 version seemed to lack any really… but again this could be a failing of using a TV’s speakers. I am sure the areas in the second game are smaller though but I could just be imagining it to find more problems… so onto the things I actually liked…
ermmm…
See this is the problem, I love the setting and I like the actual gameplay but a game like this lives on its story and atmosphere and the sequel just didn’t delivery this for me so it was a bit of a struggle to want to playthrough and finish. Maybe I will pick it up when it is mega cheap on PC on Steam one day and try again on PC, who knows.
Don’t get me wrong Bioshock 2 is an ‘OK’ game, just not as good as the first one in my opinion. Onto the next game I go…
Easter!, or well it was…
Apr 7th
Well Easter has come and gone, I spent most of the Easter weekends with my two whirlwinds of joy that I call my kids so gaming was limited to a few hours but what I did play was…
Bioshock 2 (360) – Still trying to plod along with this, its still not captured me like the first game has although it is getting better as I finally get more abilities. The biggest gripe I have is that I am meant to be a Big Daddy yet I feel like a weed!! May aswell kept you as a normal guy tbh.
Dragon Age Origins (PC) – Now this I am having fun with, once I got my head around the combat tactics and my merry band’s skills I am finding fights alot easier than before. The game has alot of depth and the narrative is great, this is going to keep me going for a while to come I think. Shale the sarcastic golem I have on my team is always a good laugh.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (PC) – Still playing the odd game, nearly rank 20 and have fully unlocked all assault and vehicle equipment. The other classes aren’t that far off. Still fun for the odd games, starting to want more maps though and a decent server browser!!
Flat Hunting – This real life game isn’t quite as fun, places either are not big enough or too pricey or not available when we need it! I shall win this if it kills me though, or I become homeless anyway *gulp* Still time though
