It helps if you watch the second hand on the clock going round while you wait for the time to pass

Like I say, I played the Demo first which is always best really.

Not long now - new gta trailer - click

BIG GIRL ALERT - Yes, me. I downloaded Condemned 2 last night from the US store and cranked the sound up and turned the lights off and started playing - didn't take long to start jumping out of my skin. If I wasn't such a girl I would buy this game from the impressions I got from them demo - very tidy indeed. Along with this though I also downloaded Sega Superstar Tennis - any tennis fans out there should save their money for the next virtua tennis.

Ok, I think I can put you right on two things here. 1. Shopto are normally cheap for selling games (Kamy, if he buys the game from there now I want some commission) Look at GTA, they are selling that for £37 and thats not going to be pants 2. I can assure you just from looking at those trailers that it will be nothing like God of War (even with a ps3 i would still recommend the gow games by the way). I think you may have just seen GOW and assumed it meant God of War when in fact they probably meant Gears of War.

This is starting to look amazing - crank up the sound and watch it all - click

Ok. With Rainbow 6 vegas 2 coming out this week I needed to get the first one traded to retain some of the value on my swap. So, against my better judgment I picked up Army of Two - and what a poor game it is turning out to be. Lets start off by saying that I kind of knew that it would be but this is one of those times you wish that you were wrong. The main reason for this is because I like the idea of the co-op play and working as a team (this is the kind of idea that I wanted 'next gen' to be like) What the game does when you first kick off is the same as most games - the tutorial. I don't know about anyone else but I welcome the tutorial because I am not one for sitting through the instructions. What the tutorial should do though is teach you the controls and this messes up right at this early stage. The on screen will say something like "what you need to do now is hold R2 and press right" so, I spend a few minutes cursing when I cant get the command to work only to find out that it should be left and not right you are meant to press. The tutorial carries on and at the end all I can say is - sloppy, if they can't get that right whats to come. The main game starts and you immediately feel like you are just watching things move along without you really having to do much. Guys just seem to appear from nowhere and even though there is lots of shooting going on and people running around you dont actually feel part of the experience. Still I battle on and complete the first little bit and wait for the cut scene. Remember the cut scenes in Drakes Fortune - how great they were? Well, these are nothing of the sort. Their heads move as they talk (as they are wearing masks) but their heads continue to bob around as if they are still talking even when they have stopped - their hands are still making expressions too. Plus the on screen text is always behind. I carry on further. From the previews that I saw there was a cool bit where you and your mate would go back to back when you were surrounded and you would take out the enemy - well, I thought this was just a cool move but no, the game initiates it for you and you feel like its just a chore to get through rather than feeling any enjoyment. There are also bits where you have to lift a mate up to a higher level and then he pulls you up but this just feels thrown in. You can be in the middle of a fight with people shooting at you and your blokes are going through the lifting up animation. I will of course battle on through the rest of this shocking excuse for a game (I read that its short anyway so shouldn't take to much effort) but just a heads up - save you people a bit of cash for some of the more excellent games coming out soon.

I know nothing about horses but have still stuck a massive bet of £1 on Silverhand in the Triumph Hurdle on friday - just for fun.

Brilliant

I love the first one and this is a must for me - the co-op sounds awsome Click

I had bully (or Cains Camen Edit) for the PS2 and thought it was a pretty solid game. Spent most of my time going to lessens before I realized that you didn't really need to. Good Game I thought (cant remember there being much loading times involved though)

To kind of rule this out I am not going to get Army of Two anyway after seeing the vids for Dark Sector so I will be picking that up instead.

Currently liking (not loving) One Night Only - Started a Fire. Some decent tunes on there - nothing out of this world but worth a listen

Looking for someone to pick up Army of Two this week and give us a review A very promising game has started to look a little drab to me. I have already got some vouchers set aside for the new rainbow 6 and GTA but will be able to afford one more - so want to know if this is it or Haze

Watch out - click

Really? I own a PS3 and not a 360 and I have been biging up a 360 exclusive game - cant see how that is being a ps3 fanboy. I am a fan of games full stop

Granted I havent played it but I have watched the matches on that X-league TV and it just seems awsome.

This bloke shouldnt be on Seseme Street he should be on The Muppets - I hate him I still think he is an american or something putting on an English accent

Gutted about that. This is the one game I am really jealous about on the 360 and would have loved the 2nd one to come to PS3.

Some may find this interesting:- Click

Just 'youtubed' it. Dont think its an amazing cover but the song gets on my nerves anyway so its probably just that. I went to Italy last year and it was on everywhere. It was like Italy sponsored Riana or something.

Love them. Not heard the new stuff yet but thanks for the heads up on the new album On another note, I have just heard The Manics doing a cover of rihana - umbrella

Brilliant

I know I keep going on about this but I love it - no long to wait now - click

In that case I have enough then.
