Seeing as I’ve run out of Tony Hawk games, and the 360 version of this arrived last week having been bought for peanuts, so I’ve decided to play it. Yes, I’ve got (and completed) the Xbox version already, but that was over a year ago and I can’t wait until Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground which is supposedly out later this year. Anyway. So I’ve reached Vans, which (IIRC) is about a third of the way through the game. I’ve yet …

For four years now, I’ve kept a diary detailing the games I play. Part of the reason was to see how many games I buy (and to reduce this number), and how many I complete (and to increase this number). 2008 saw a drop in completed games – 33 compared to 61 in 2007. I don’t think this is bad, when you look at the games I’ve been completing. In 2007, there were quite a few shorter games, including 5 …
Today, I went to Richer Sounds and spent far too much money on some audio kit. I got myself an Onkyo TX-SR605 AV receiver, a set of Tannoy FX5.1 speakers, and some more expensive than expected cables to connect everything up. I then spent SIX HOURS connecting everything up. SIX. ACTUAL. HOURS. And then, when I tried to put the receiver into my under-the-TV “entertainment centre” unit, it wouldn’t fit. So I had to undo all the cables and fit …
Hurrah! Big Hairy Jesus Day is upon us, and gifts galore were unwrapped. So, in the style of first day of term playgroud boasting, what did you get? Personally, I snagged a pile of games I’ve been after for a while, including Psychonauts, Tony Hawk’s Proving Ground, and camp-tastic Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland. Amazing! Also: David Bowie albums FTW!
It’s that time of year again. Well, actually, it’s not, which is the problem. Traditionally, there’s slim pickings for new games around this time of year. The busiest times for releasing new titles (especially big titles) is normally around Christmas and often over Easter too, but the July-October period is like release death in the UK. Except this year. As well having Bioshock released this week already, there’s fahsands more out between now and the end of November. Before the …
