What I've been up to lately...

Been gaming quite a bit in the last couple of months since my last blog, also been on a trip to Chicago to see one of my oldest friends which was amazing.

In terms of gaming, I have picked up the following - Shift 2, Dynasty Warriors 7, Brink, Lego Star Wars III and in the next couple of days I will have LA Noire! should be fun..

My thoughts on the mentioned games:

Shift 2 - Has some improvements over Shift 1, however, the level cap is set way too low at 20, which I achieved within maybe 8 hours of playing, and I was only 24% through the game. Also, mastering corners used to be a challenge in Shift 1, now you can do it, just by creeping round the corners at 5mph and as long as you stick to the racing line, it gives you the mastery for that corner. Apart from that, its a solid racer!

Dynasty Warriors 7 - A good button bashing hack n slash game, lots of customisation options, and all in all a good game you can pick up and play for half an hour

Lego Star Wars III - I love the Lego star wars games, but thats because I'm a star wars fan anyway, and this game was the last one I reviewed over at www.gsaddicts.co.uk. Plenty of levels (60) Plenty of Characters (100+) and quite a bit to do, that will take well over 30-40 hours to complete it 100%. A great game and a must for Lego games of movies

Brink - I am currently writing a review for this and as it stands, I am enjoying it.. There are some issues with it, but overall I think it is not a bad game

LA Noire - This will be epic if the hype is to be believed, and Rockstar didnt let me down with Grand Theft Auto IV, or Red Dead Redemption so I have high hopes for this!

Thats all from me, bye for now

Homefront

After playing homefront for a few hours, I thought I'd post my thoughts on it. The story line is awesome, the opening intro to the story really immerses you into the game, with a plausible plot concept (N & S Korea unite into the Great Korean Republic) and get Japan to join them before occupying the USA

I enjoy multiplayer although I've only managed 5 games online in total as its broken (but a patch is on the way) and overall I think its a good game and I will be doing a review of it over at www.gamerscoreaddicts.co.uk in the coming couple of weeks so keep an eye out for it there.

Also, I am enjoying Black Ops with my brother, I seem to be getting really good at this, and am tempted to buy a HD PVR recorder, to put the games up. Watch this space!

The return of T-Bo's gaming updates

I know its been nearly 4 months since my last post but I've decided to come back to the whole blogging thing, as I decided I quite enjoyed it.

I guess the one thing that I've realised since my last blog is that I dont seem to be enjoying my gaming as much as I used to, and even though I've donated 16 games to the guys over at www.gamerscoreaddicts.co.uk I've still managed to end up with the same amount and there's a small pile of games that I've bought, but not even scratched the surface of:

Blur
Crackdown 2
Fallout: New Vegas
Far Cry 2
Vanquish
Castlevania
Bulletstorm

I tend to find myself playing the same few games (Call of Duty: Black Ops & Pro Evolution Soccer 2011, both in the company of my brother) and I buy more games to try to rekindle my interest but nothing seems to work at the moment. I'm hoping the imminent arrival of "Homefront" in my hands, any day now will help.

I have also re-found my enjoyment of writing game reviews and have done 4 since my last blog, including: Fight Night Champion, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Mario Bros Wii, and Mario Kart Wii, and am currently doing "TNT Racers" on Xbox live arcade which will be up soon.

So I'm back!
