  Finally finished!!!

  Well finally finished my third year at uni this week! Had to do a presentation which was a bit scary but at least its done.

  On the games front playing through Battlefield 1943, Secret of Monkey Island: SE (on a arcade binge at the moment) and Wolverine: Xmen Origins! Battlefield 1943 is awesome and cos its on the hard drive you can just jump in anytime you feel like without swapping discs! With Monkey Island I'm having a great time with it, having never played a point and click adventure game before its all new and a bit confusing but the hint system makes things a bit easier. I see why everyone goes on about this game now. Wolverine is just stupid fun and very gory!

  In other news watching Prison Break Season 4 and its amazing! Haven't really enjoyed Prison Break since season 1 but now I think its back to that level! Also reading the Halo books and finding them very good although its weird to have more than one Spartan! Its making my want Halo: Reach so might have to get ODST to get access to the beta!

  Looking forward to Batman, Watchmen Blu-ray (although probably going to import the American version to get the Directors Cut), Splosion Man, Trials HD and Shadow Complex!

  inFamous and other games....

  Well finally finished inFamous yesterday as the good guy and what a brilliant ending it was. I enjoyed the comic style of presenting the story but everything that happened until the end i could see coming. The end however totally took me by surprise and now I can't wait to go and play as an evil character.

  Also finished Uncharted as well. only picked it up last week and found it absolutely brilliant. The graphics and gameplay were amazing and coupled with a good story and great lead character meant that I had to take breaks of inFamous. Can't wait for the second one now!

  Currently also cranking through Street Fighter 4, although I suck at it, and also Little Big Planet which is brilliant. On the 360 also playing the amazing GH: Metallica and Left 4 Dead which are both awesome.

  In news other than games went to see Terminator Salvation on the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. As an action film it was great with great action scenes and a good story which surprised me! Was it worth waiting 20 years to finally see the epic future battle, probably not but as a film in its own right I thought it was a very entertaining film.

  E3 2009 - My thoughts

  Well after the 3 big press conferences I have to say Microsoft and Sony absolutely hammered Nintendo! I mean don't get me from I know the new Mario Galaxy will outsell everything Sony and Miscrosoft will put out but it seems they are resting on their back catalogue.

  I think it was a draw between Sony and Microsoft as the exclusives cancel each other out. MAG, Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 were my favourites for Sony and for MS Halo: Reach, Splinter Cell Conviction and L4D 2. I have both consoles so I'm glad I don't have to pick and choose between them. Natal and Sony's motion sensor were both great for different reasons; Natal will be awesome for fun 'games' and to browse the dashboard but I can't see it working with FPS or RPGs. Sony's motion sensor is cool and will be fun to play with FPS and would be amazing to play Legolas in a new LOTR game! Plus seeing the genius Hideo Kojima was awesome. MGS for the 360 and PSP = awesome!!!

  Overall seeing Assassin's Creed 2 was the highlight of the conferences closely followed by the reinvented Splinter Cell Conviction.
