Anything but The Ting Tings, my word what a terrible name and their 'music' is even worse than their name.

Agree with you there. Again, only heard one of their songs but they sound like bloody Daphne and Celeste

LeChuck Posted Today, 20:28

I can't hear any relation between The Hooisers and The Cure to be honest.

Maybe my comment of 'are they the ones that sound like the cure' was a bit over the top because like I say I dont get much chance to listen to much stuff at the moment however, it it is the hoosiers they have a song that in my opinion sounds like love cats

Anyway, what does everyone think?

The Cure (its the chorus I think that does it)

Hoosiers

I think I'm one of the few who finds the Wombats truly awful.

Off to see MGMT on Tuesday, should be good.

Are they the ones that sound like The Cure? I don't get to listen to whats going on much at the moment but when I hear a song lately there is sometimes no distinctive sound between to singers so I get mixed up between which band it is

It looks pants. The aiming system is supposed to be horrendous.

The aiming system is about the 150th problem on the list of things wrong with it. People should actualy download them demo just to see how bad it is.

Played the Bourne demo today - wow what a pile of poop. I really cant imagine anyone wasting their money on this.

Its times like this I wish I had a 360

Heard them too Cocker, Living my Dream (In my record machine) is an absoulte collosal tune! Can't wait for the album. Do you think they'll be touring this summer? I know they've already announced a few dates in the US/Canada, but nothing over here as of yet.

I hope they aren't touring this summer as I am getting married in September and wouldn't be able to afford to go. Noel was on soccer am on saturday and said they were going to Thailand but don't know how serious that was.

I have just heard three of the new Oasis tracks from their new album EDIT, I now hear that while they are new songs they were recorded in 2004 and should the appear on the new album then they will probably sound very different.

Stop the Clocks.

For most people the title of this one will mean nothing. For Oasis fans its one that had become a kind of myth for about 5 years. Did it exist or not? No one knew - until now. Its sung by Noel (well, the version I heard was anyway) and maybe because of the build up it had received I dont know if I expected more. Again, because I didnt really know much about it before I was hoping that it would be and out and out drum swaggering song of the past but what we got here was a nice little tune that sounded like it was recorded in a church - cant see it being a single or anything.

I wanna live in a Dream in my Record Machine.

Another Noel sung song here. Again not really a single type song but what I like to call a toe tapper (even though on my second listen it could have been called head tapper too) Bit more going for it than STC.

Nothing on Me

I dont actually know if this is the real title for this one or not but this time we have a Liam one. I loved this from the first listen and I cant explain why. Its got a nice little tune running through it and sounds like Liam is having a bit of a rant - which I like.

Played the Demo's of Iron Man and Echochrome today.

Iron Man - oh my word - awful. I thought the superman game was bad - this is on a par. Typical movie tie in and just thrown together to cash in - very poor.

Echochrome - nice little puzzler however I dont think I will download the full one when it comes out as I was bored half way through the demo and no it wasnt because I couldnt do it.

Fingers crossed eh

plus legs, eyes, ears, arms - anything really.

Stuck the Playstation demo disc in tonight. Had played all the games on it before apart from Def Jam Icon. If you haven't played this before I think its a MUST that you do. No, not because its good but just to see how awful it is. I can't believe they are allowed to stick a £50 sticker on this in the shop - surly it can be classed as stealing.

Now, onto my main gaming tonight - Dark Sector. I am having a problem with it in that so far so much feels wrong about it. Some of the controls are a bit strange. You can sometimes stand in front of a guy hitting him and your dealing no damage. The covering system can be dodgy at times. Some of the cut scenes just seem to kick in and you arnt to bothered about watching them. Sometimes its not clear what your meant to do however, I cant help but love it so far and am playing with a smile on my face (some of the stuff that goes on makes me sound sick saying that). With all the things that I said are bugging me they are just wiped out by the fun I am having. I could have designed the levels myself they are that simple - get your guy from one side of a room to the other and reach checkpoint - this isn't bothering me either because I am having so much fun just walking in a straight line. There are guns available everywhere but I am not really using them because of quite possibly the coolest weapon I have ever used - the glaive. Its a kind of boomerang with spikes. You throw it and it comes back. It can be used for close combat too. The game has an 18 certificate for a reason and the glaive is it. When you take a guy down the scream he gives out makes you want to get the others too (I didn't really know how to word that because anything I say there makes me sound like a sicko but I hope you understand)

I have said it before that the only game I wanted from the 360 on the PS3 was Gears of War. While I don't think this comes close to Gears I will say that it looks to play very similar (the way you run and the camera bounces round behind you for one) Its not surprising though because I am sure I read somewhere that their team split up and half went to make Gears and the other half went to make this.

I am a bit concerned that I am getting through it a bit quick - the chapters just seem to whizz by. I haven't played online but its not meant to be much cop. Not many levels to it.

Its a shame though that many are going to miss out on this because its getting released too close to GTA. I got it because I was ready to make a trade on an older game and needed to do it before the value dropped. If anyone sees this in the pre owned bin somewhere or a cheap deal online (£25 or below should do it) you should pick it up and have a play because it is fun.

Traded Orange Box (loved portal - half life felt a bit dated - team fortress wasnt half bad) with Game today (I got extra for it too because of my pre order of GTA) for Dark Sector. Dont think I will get chance to play it today so my thoughts on it will come tomorrow - hopefully.

Not got long on it anyway before the mighty GTA comes and I dont pick up another game for 4 months

Bought Dark Sector. I've not played much of it, but from what I've seen so far I'd make two comments:

1. Graphics are great.

2. AI is amazingly poor.

I also picked up Viking, which looks like it could be anohter Assasins Creed (ie, had the makings of a classic, but fell short).

Once you have had a good play I would be very interested in your final thoughts on Dark Sector.

As for Viking, it looks like they have tried to copy God of War but not come anywhere near

but ye mario kart is always a must!

No it isnt. Can't be sure what system the last one I played was on - think it may have been the game cube but it didnt have the same feel as the older one. Dont know if anyone else played it but you had two of the characters on the one Kart. Crash Bandicoot did a similar thing around the same time I think which was also poor.

get in, just got a txt from game sayin my mario kart wii will be ready to pick up tomorrow!

I am not being funny or mean to cause any offense when I say that up until now I haven't been bothered about any game on the wii.........that is of course until now.

I spent ages playing the old Mario Kart and this is meant to be back to its best.

Are you getting the little wheel with it two? I am told it works very well.

I have gone for SLIM PICKINGS just because I wanted a punt on the nags and I know nothing at all about the horses so please no one take this as a tip

Anyone who keeps Redknapp off my TV is fine by me. He is the true definition of the word plonker.

I am sure he is going to break out the five knuckle shuffle one of these days when John Terry or Frank Lampard get mentioned to him one to many times.

ooooooo

You missed an 'o' out (sorry, I know its against the rules to pull people up on their spelling but this is such an silly error)

played euro 08.

really surprised how much i like it. everyone should have a go (not sure if this will look ok.....first post using the PS3)

Damn you Cocker, you've reminded me of the months wait I have ahead of me again for GTA4

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