Predator: Concrete Jungle

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

I picked up Predator: Concrete Jungle on Xbox for $9 on the weekend, and have since built up an addiction to running around as my favorite alien of all time. Any game that has a “flay” option is worth the price.
All the best bits of the Predator movies are included in the game. The camouflage, [...]

List of the top rated players in NBA 2K7

Friday, December 8th, 2006

NBA 2K7 is probably the most addictive Xbox games I’ve played in a long while. Compared to NBA Live 2007, NBA 2K7 is worlds apart in terms of realism and feel. Controls take a bit to get used to and don’t have the ‘arcade’ style feel of NBA Live 2007. I like to start with [...]

Urban Chaos: Riot Response

Sunday, October 8th, 2006

Urban Chaos is a fun game! Violent and laden with profanity, it’s good clean fun. You play as Nick Mason, the T-Zero enforcer, dedicated to stamping out urban terrorism. It’s a first person shooter, but it’s probably one of the best looking games on the xbox. Graphics are fantastic.
To be honest, I didn’t really spend [...]

Urban Chaos and the world of Lego Star Wars 2

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

After conquering the last Call of Duty game, I’ve started on Urban Chaos: Riot Response. It is very much an adults only game. Lots of violence, lots of swearing and lots of fun. Needless to say, I love it! Also started up Lego Star Wars 2, which is funny but pretty lame as a game. [...]

Call of Duty: Finest Hour completed

rate [4] 
I finished Call of Duty: Finest Hour last night. It took me quite a while actually, the first levels were quite easy but the difficulty really lifted a few notches in the second half of the game. Call of Duty: Finest Hour is a first person shooter set in World War 2, and unlike [...]

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

The ghetto adventures of Carl Johnson (CJ) have come to an end. Order has been restored, and Grove Street is back on the map. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was the most entertaining game I’ve played in a while. Entertaining, but time consuming!
Time can pass quickly when you in San Andreas, you’ll tell yourself, [...]

New laws to target Australian Mod Chip users

Sunday, September 17th, 2006

There was a report on the Age website on Friday. The new laws are basically coming into effect to honour Australia’s Free Trade Agreement with the US. From what I can gather, the new ‘mod chip’ legislation will bring Australian law in line with US in this area. One of the key points to come [...]

Rise of the Zombie genre!

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

There is a nice article on the Age website today about horror/zombie games. Personally blasting zombies with a shotgun is one of my favourite pass times. Dead Rising in particular has caught my attention, and will no doubt be one of the first games I purchase when I eventually jump on the Xbox360 band wagon. [...]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein – game over man

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

rate [2.5]
This game was just too easy. Not much of a challenge. The graphics were good, and the game itself enjoyable, just seemed to be all over far too quick. If you can’t get to the final level of this game without cheating, then you should hand back your Xbox controller immediately and go back [...]

Hunter: The Reckoning: Redeemer

Friday, August 25th, 2006

 
I loved Hunter: The Reckoning on PS2, so I decided to pick up Redeemer on Xbox. It seemed a hell of a lot easier than The Reckoning.
As with the other Hunter games, this one is made to be played with friends.
One player mode gets a touch boring after a while. Any way, my secret to [...]
