Halo 3 feels much more like the original Halo did, the sense of freedom you get from being able to rip up gun emplacements and carry them or deploy shields where you want is immense. Add to that the number of different ways to progress through each level and you end up with a thoroughly [...]
A lot’s been written about Amy Winehouse over the past few months. Tales of drug abuse, beatings, alcoholism, arguments and all manner of other dreadful things. Many’s the newspaper that’s featured articles droning on about how close to dying she is and that somebody should do something about it before it’s too late. Bollocks. Keep [...]
09.26Just Call Me Jim
A temporary fix has been made on my ’360, looks like that Elite won’t be winging its way to me anytime soon. As a consequence of my great fixing ability I’ve finally had a chance to play a bit of Halo 3 and from what I can see it looks good. The graphics aren’t that [...]

It’s ironic that the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner actually include a question mark at the end of the first stanza, because it’s a question I’ve been asking for a long time. How free are US citizens now? From all I can see from the sunny shores of the 51st state it looks like [...]
09.21DualShock 3 Shock!
It would appear that Sony have made a massive fucking u-turn and decided to add rumble to the Sixaxis and imaginatively re-brand it as the DualShock 3. Gosh! I’d completely forgotten about rumble, after all it’s such a last generation feature. As Sony’s Phil Harrison himself said, when he was asked if adding rumble to [...]
