Team Fortress 2 - Excellent game

Wish the day had more hours. This and incredible game with stunning visual style. The game has nine well balanced character classes: Spy, Pyro, Soldier, Heavy, Medic, Sniper, Demoman, Scout and Engineer each with different abilities which gives you lots to try and bound to have few favourites. There's also great variety of maps. I can see myself spending many many hours playing this game in the comming months...

Portal song "Still Alive" in the Rock Band

As I was playing Rock Band with my kids last night I was very pleasantly surprised to see "Still alive" as one of the songs in the list of songs. Absolutely brilliant! I've been humming it for a week now and to be able to play it on Rock Band it's a real treat. Well chuffed...

Gaming Community

If you are playing XBOX 360 games on-line on XBOX Live you'd have noticed that there are always a lot of people playing most games. But as with most things with "a lot of" there is bound to be one or two uneducated, rude, racist, unfriendly or unsporting people (ussually pre or early teens). It helps a lot if you have a lot of friends in your friends list and that way you know who you're playing with. I was lucky to find some good friends on the o35s.net - Gaming community for the elderly. Check it out regardless of your age; there are lots of members from young teens to their 60s. ;-)

Finally done it! COD4 Mile High Club!

Last night I made my third attempt to get the "Mile High Club" achievement on XBOX 360 and after about 30 mins I done it. Must have died over 100 times on this level alone. In the end got very, very, very... (did I say very?) very pissed with them guys wearing winter hats on the plane and so I shot them all and threw the hostage from the plane. Nice! ;-)

My strategy was:
  1. Switch to pistol and run past the guy coming out of the toilet;
  2. Shoot the shotgun guy on the left and whiles walking forward flash the end of the corridor;
  3. Soon as you flash run and grab the shotgun; If loaded use it to clear this 1st corridor; If not switch to MP5;
  4. Run to the next corridor left or right behind the chairs and flash bang towards the middle of the corridor;
  5. Run and stay low behind wooden cover on the left and whiles waiting for your two mates load your shotgun;
  6. Up the stairs on the right and flash bang through the door on the left and go straight in towards the last corridor whiles unloading your shotgun;
  7. Flash the last corridor and grab another 4 flash bangs just before the last corridor whiles reloading or switching your weapon;
  8. Flash again down the corridor and go in;
  9. Don't rush to shut the last terrorist holding the hostage;
  10. Aim slightly above his head and shoot! Job done...

Battlefield: Bad Company

Didn't think much of this game but after seeing this trailer I will most probably get it ASAP.

Portal

Played this game for the last 3-4 days and it is brilliant. Short but sweet. Well recommended!
