where i post my thoughts about everything about well everything.
Drums- Check, guitar- check, Xbox live headset- Check.

so i decided to get rock band but just the drum kit because i already have a guitar and you can use the headset as a microphone so what was the point in forking out for the extra stuff.

Its great..Really great. Even by yourself its a whole of fun...Granted its alot better even with one more person but still its most awesome in solo aswell especially the drum kit. Ive mainly been using the drum kit, i tried the guitar solo career but i found it to be a little too easy but still good. Havent tried the vocals because well...My family have been around and i dont want to totally embarass myself.

Nearly everything about rock band is better than GH, Even the intro kicks Arse. My only complaint is to do with the Guitar fret board thing...Its just to darn hard to see hammer-ons and also sometimes i find it hard to distinguish held down notes if the note only lasts for a few seconds. But there is one feature that is brilliant about the fret board and its something simple...The fact you can see how many stars you going to get, I really like this addition because if im trying to beat my score and im not going to get that extra star or something i can restart quickly instead of having to wait to the end of the song.

So overall a fantastic game. Also, I downloaded My sherona and totally recommend it to anyone with a few spare points, its a bloody fun song.

Damn you 360!

It had to happen. My first problem with my 360 and its only about 2 months old....

I was happily playing Gears of war (Its alright not amazing but alright.) when all of a sudden i heard a horrible noise coming from the disc drive then a few minutes later the message "Unreadable disc" popped up and well..There it was a circular scratch on my disc. It was in a vertical position which i now believe was the problem, No, I didnt move it, jolt it or tilt it. I just think that having my 360 vertical caused the problem.

I took it to gamestation and had it cleaned. It looks better now but im still really annoyed.

In other happier news, i bought Beautiful Katamari. I loved the ps2 katamari games and cant wait to play this one.

Gore-Fest!

I bought two new games today. Gears (Im a 360 owner...I should at least play it) And condemned (I need to play a scary Game). I Had some vouchers for a shop so i all i had to pay was about a tenner. Looking forward to playing both, Gears wont be as good as everyone says but it still should be good and im totally going to play condemned in the dark- I know im a proper ledgend -

Completed Oblivion. It looks good, plays well, and has a good story. But my pet peeves, repetitivness rears its ugly head again in the shape of combat. The combat is fun at first but then it just becomes very samey and more of a chore than anything but it does its job. Also, i only changed my gear about once and used the silver longsword and Arena Heavy rainment throughout most of the game so yeah...That was a bit of a useless thing- well to me anyway-. Overall an enjoyable adventure easily one of the best RPGs out. 8/9.

Went to see semi-pro aswell highly underated but its not one of ferrels best, One superb scene that still makes me laugh. 5/9

Also seen Walk Hard and its also Underrated. Although there arent any big big laughs like the fight scene in anchorman it is still consistently funny. 6/9

And the awards for the worst ever ending...

Goes to assassins creed...it is awful pure and utter rubbish..And well the game hardly saves it either...

Just a bad game...Some cool features like the climbing and stuff but everything else was bad..Really bad.

3/9

Went to see Cloverfield that has an awful ending aswell. Too shaky for its own good, hated the characters, very predictable and alot of ideas stolen from other films. Monster looked bad and it was just a bad film

4/9

Overrated Creed...Aswell as a few other things.

As you can guess im Currently playing Creed.

Im not that far in but i can already see that this is going to become one repetitive game. Missions are repeated over and over with very little difference. When it comes to combat Repetitve is a huge understatment. I have basically used one move throughout the game, Counter-attack, this usually instantly kills a soldier. Also, since youre health heals WHILST in combat you are basically invunreable as when you lose all your health you go into this semi-dead state where you can just stumble for a few moments and get two health back and there you go.

As shown with prince of persia ubisoft are the best at platforming and they have once again nailed it. Climbing is great and really fun and the living breathing cities are epic but they dont seem all that big since im currently playing Oblivion, and well...Oblivion is just massive seriously..Massive.

Currently its a 4/9

Oh yeah im also playing Oblivion, And well...Its truly Brilliant. No game matches it..Forget Mass Effect..Oblivion is the best RPG out at the moment hands down. Im 12 hours in and i havent even scratched the surface of the story. Everyone should just go and buy it.

As im currently bigging up the size of Oblvion it will seem strange that i say that if i had to say one bad thing about it, and im being really picky, it is the size. Implemented into the game is a system called fast travelling that is a great thing but you can only fast travel to places you have discovered so if you get a mission to go to a random mine and your ages away it may seem like an annoyance getting there. Still, most places are near a major city which you can fast travel too instanly so its not all that bad.

Currently 8.5/9

Completed call of duty 4. Single player isnt very good and really short but i do quite like the mission called "Shock and Awe". But multiplayer totally makes up for it.

7/9.

Through the fire an..Damn i failed.
Yeah i decided to get it..Its rather awesome. Ive completed Easy mode and im on medium...I really suck on medium i can barely make it through most songs. Mastering the PO and HO are hard enough and they seem to be a vital part so its rather annoying..But ah well practice makes perfect i guess.
