Well, I haven’t posted in a month and this is for a number of reasons. Mostly that its been insanely busy in work lately, and I have been wasting lots of my precious free time playing games.
I’m still addicted to Left4Dead on my PC, and have been replaying Forza Motorsport 2 on the Xbox. I bought it a year ago for €20 and I still love it. Today I went and bought the new downloadable content for Grand Theft Auto 4 – The Lost and Damned. Its only 2GB but it still took absolutely aaaaaaaages to download, so I’ve only played about an hour and a half of it but its been good so far. If you liked GTA4, this is more of the same but with entirely different characters.
My last post was about the PS3. I like it but the Xbox 360 is still king of the consoles for me. I spend far more time watching movies and stuff on the PS3 than I do playing games on it. It seems to do a much better job of upscaling standard-def stuff than the 360. The Playstation Network store is also a load of absolute shite compared to Xbox Live’s marketplace. There’s not a whole lot of stuff that you can try before you buy. PS3 does get bonus points for having a web browser and keyboard & mouse support though.

Oh, also my old man came back from Afghanistan in one piece \o/

Hopefully I’ll get off my ass and post more often now.

So I finished the main story missions in Grand Theft Auto 4 this evening. It was super high quality all the way. It took me approximately 50 hours and there’s still tons of side stuff left to do in the game, as well as multiplayer and general sandbox fooling about.

All that for €60. That’s what I call a bargain.

I can’t see anything else that gets released this year topping GTA4. Its certainly my game of the year.
