From my previous post I have gone back to old games that I really should finish. Started with MGS4 and have gotten to Act3. Its really great game, fantastic looking and nice sneaking sections but combat is only OK. The story is really out there but that’s part and parcel of the MGS universe, I played MGS1 and some of MGS3 but not a lot. I had to go and look up a lot of the history that made no sense other wise. The gametrailers retrospective helped too.

I also picked up the Rock Band Instrument pack in Zavvi for Eur80 for the 360. Started playing Saturday night with zarkia and had a lot of fun! I started with the drums but found them really hard, it seems I have no rhythm… who would have thought. So I moved to the lead guitar and formed a band (“The Awesomes”) with zarkia singing. This game is so much fun and cant wait to play it with more people. I also picked up Gears of War 2 so I convinced zarkia to play a bit of GoW1 which she didn’t seem to mind it too much which is good cause she doesn’t like FPS games at all.

Went to see Twilight… hmmm.

Started listening to Pendulum, and I’m liking them. Need to listen a bit more.

In the past year I started listening to lots of podcasts and the one I listened to by far the most was the range from 1up.com including the 1up show. But sad news this week was that 1up.com was bought out by UGO and a buch of great folk were let go which seems to have killed a lot of the content. It seems that some of it will like on at eat-sleep-game.com and talkingorange.com
