Turning Point: Fall of Liberty - Xbox 360

Turning Point Box ArtThere has never been an occasion before where I’ve regretted venturing into the world of video game journalism. Sadly, I have had my first reality bite in reviewing this game.

I’m the sort of person that doesn’t like to talk about something unless I know and understand what I am talking about. So that meant I had to play this game all the way through.

While I may never get back that precious time, you can all learn from my hardship and not buy this game!

Full review can be found here, at Gadgetoid.

I heart April Fools!

Especially I love the effort that many people went to on this great day.

Logging on to my 360 I was presented with Larry Hryb and his presentation of Microsofts hilarious new products for Spring.

Also, for those wanting a bit of rock and roll in their MMO, a new World of Warcraft character class unveiled by Blizzard - Bard Hero!

The P-teq USB pregnancy kit is a must have gadget for all you responsible adults, not sure if you have to pee on it while it’s plugged in, but the pretty pictures are much easier to decipher than traditional blue lines/pink dots.

And UK Youtube, the classy people, decided to Rick Roll every one of their featured videos!

Now for my birthday everyone knows to get me the Xbox Live Board game, right?!

Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity - Wii

Sonic Riders box artHello everyone.

Once again I’ve written a game review for the good people of Gadgetoid. Took a while to play this one, not being on the 360 meant I was restricted to playing in one room (not enough room to swing a wiimote in my batcave).

What’s up Maximus - Bank Holiday edition

My faceIt’s been a cold few days, so cold in fact that we’ve had 3 days of on and off snow. Blimey!

So what have I been up to then? Well, lots of gaming. I’ve got a few reviews to do for Gadgetoid right now, so I used the excuse that it’s too cold to go out to instead sit indoors where it’s nice and warm and play some games.

Stay tuned for my thoughts and feelings on Sonic Riders Zero Gravity (Wii), Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (Xbox 360) and Sega Superstars Tennis (Xbox 360).

Also, having to do so much reviewing has meant not much time competing in the Halo 3 European Tournament, but to be honest I wasn’t doing so good in the games that I played anyway. If you want to take a look at how I’ve got on so far, have a look at the “INTL Tournament” games in my Game History at Bungie.net.

One final thing to add is that I came across a rather funny site which had a page all about Sonic CD, which is one of my favourite games of all time, darn you internets for being so distracting!

Halo 3 European Tournament

Halo 3 SamsungTomorrow is the first day in the Samsung sponsored European Halo 3 event.

Although me winning anything on it is a long shot, I feel it’s obligatory to support such a cool event, even better that it costs nothing to enter!

Full details of the event can be found HERE

I’ll keep ya posted as to how I get on.

The cake is a lie…

Or so the old saying goes.

Recently I found a random bit of graffiti in the gents toilets at Delaneys.

The first part I understand (quote from Portal), but the second part….

Graffiti

…your guess is as good as mine!!!
