  Back with Lag

  This is just a quick blog to let you all know I'm back. I've just landed home after a ten hour flight and I feel pretty damn tired. I'll update this blog with pictures later if you want to see them but I feel a bit too jet lagged to do so at the moment...that, and I can't find the camera in the luggage.
  
  Now if you excuse me...:passes out:

  I am Off to Get a Sombrero!

  Well, I'm Off to get a Sombrero! I'm here to tell you guys that I will be going to Mexico for my hols tomorrow. I will be gone for two weeks. First one to mention swine flu will have to answer to Mr Shot Gun :pumps shotgun:.

  Anyways as with any holiday you must pack a few handheld games in you bag. It's like an unwritten law or something . And this year I feel I'm well catered for…

  Rock Band: Unplugged

  Because two weeks without Rock Band is just too long . I've played a bit of this game so far and I'm enjoying it. To be fair though it would be hard for me not to enjoy it. Amplitude with Rock Band = win!

  Pokemon Platinum

  You know, every time one of these 'Directors Cut' Pokemon games come out I'm always say I'm not going to buy it…and every time I lie to myself. Still Pearl/Diamond was my favourite game of 2007, so I guess playing it again with a few improvements won't hurt me

  Art Style: PiCOPiCT

  A DSi puzzle game I recently downloaded. It's really addictive and really hard! I would tell you more but the game is kind hard to explain. It involves building Nintendo characters from pixels…if I go into it any deep my brain may start to hurt

  Final Fantasy VII

  What can I say about this one eh? I've got this game on disc but I've never finished it…perhaps it's 'time?'

  Who has time for sunbathing when I've got all these

  I hope you all have a great summer! Remember, don't neglect all those games you've got! PJ

  PJ Interview...Louis-D

  

  Louis-D in short: Huge fan of binoculars, does not find Resident Evil scary anymore, is getting very tired of marriage proposals

  What is you're all time favourite console and why?

  It's a tie between the Playstation 2 and Xbox 360, but I'd have to go with the 360. It has a great library of games and I've enjoyed playing with friends on Xbox Live. Sure it has the RROD and annoying people online, but that doesn't matter...does it? (PJ: If your 360 has the RROD I think it would matter )

  What would be your perfect setting for a game?

  A setting in space is always good. I'd like a game that allows you to land on different planets and experience a variety of environments (similar to Mass Effect or Star Wars).

  Which is better? Cats or Dogs?

  I prefer Dogs. They're better companions and generally more loyal. But I also like cats because they're the animal equivalent of Solid Snake.

  Realistic games or non-realistic games?

  Non-realistic games are better. At least then you can have fun and enjoy playing. I'm not sure if I've played a realistic game, but I suppose Rainbow Six: Vegas on 'Realistic' difficulty was realistic. I feel like I've repeated the word realistic too much... (PJ: Well, at least your being 'Realistic' about it! ...I'll hit myself now )

  You have just been told by a giant talking head that you are destined to save the world. What is your first reaction?

  My first reaction would probably be "WTF?" because it's not everyday you see a talking head. I'd then wonder why I have been chosen and I'd convince the head that he has made a mistake. It also seems quite a hefty task, so I couldn't be bothered. (PJ: I wouldn't annoy the guy, being head butted by a giant head is not pleasant )

  What is the most frustrating game you have played and why?

  Probably 'X-Men: The Official Game'. I borrowed it from a friend to gain some achievements, and the experience was painful. Some areas of the game are OK, but for the most part it was just frustrating and boring (especially on the harder difficulty). My opinion on Iceman has been scarred because of this game.

  How can I tempt you to the dark side?

  You can't tempt me. I'm always the good guy. But if you have cookies or muffins...then maybe I'd be tempted...they would have to taste perfect, though (PJ: Crap! Why did I bake cake! )

  If you could have a cameo in any game, what would be?

  That's a tough question. I'd like a cameo in the next Elder Scrolls game such as a random NPC or city guard throwing in a few one-liners here and there "Good day, Citizen!".

  And the all important question...what is your favourite type of chocolate?

  Milk Chocolate is defiantly my favourite. I like most Cadburys products, Galaxy, Ferrero Rocher and Thortons! (PJ: Finally! Somebody with good chocolate taste! )

  Thanks again Louis! As always if any of you are interested in being interviewed PM me or say so in the comments box.

  Next time! That it for this batch! I'll be sending out some more after I'm done with my holiday
