Fifa 08 - good game

I was pleasantly surprised by this game. Rented it to check it out not expecting to be anything special but after 3-4 games I got hooked. The game can be very hard and the controls frustrating but overall a satisfying game especially when you get enough of shooting or playing "instruments" on GH or RB. I've returned the game now but intend to buy it soon as I find it under £15.

The Dark Knight - no so impressed

Just came back from the cinema. Finally found time to go and watch The Dark Knight movie with great expectations. I really liked Batman Begins and read some fantastic reviews about this one. I was really impressed with Heath Ledger performance. A great actor that was just getting better and better. I wish he had more dialogs in the movie and I'm really am sorry he lost his life. Overall the movie was ok but not as good as the previous one.

Battlefield Bad Company stats

Cool thing form the BBC people - gamers can see their stats online similar to what Bungie has done for Halo 2 and 3 but not as good. Still better than COD 4 you get most basic info about the number of games, win/loss and kill/deaths ratios. Check mine at (you need to create a free account and loog in first) http://badcompany.ea.com/myprofile/xbox/dreri/ or you can check any other by just replacing the tag name in the end.

Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation

The latest game to get from the rental subscription proved very disappointing. Back in the days of PC gaming used to love flying games so I thought this one might be worth trying as my first ever Xbox flying game. After 30 minutes or so of acrobatic flying, shooting and firing rockets it down to me that, as RPGs, flying games are not my thing any more. I think I'll blame games like Gears of War, Call of Duty and Halo for this.

Battlefield Bad Company

Gone ahead and made the purchase today. Rainbow Six Vegas 2 + £10 = BBC. Had about one hour play on the single player already and so far looks ok. The reason I delayed getting it because I was renting plenty new games recently and I kind off expected to have lot more humor in the game. It looks like there are some jokes here and there but not as many as I was expecting. Anyway it is just the beginning and I haven't tried the multiplayer yet so will get back with some more thoughts...

Renting, renting, renting...

Got the chance to rent some new games recently. Bully Scholarship Edition which was ok in a way. A lot like GTA IV but on the cutdonw version and more suite for yung teenagers. Some of the pranks and tasks vwere fun but eventually got repetitive and boring. Guitar Hero Aerosmith was much much better choice. Great songs, well animated and some great online modes versus and co-op. Played the carrier on medium and it is just right for my unskilled fingers. I would recommand Guitar Hero Aerosmith if you like Guitar Hero or Rock Band games - must try. Bully only if you like GTA IV and like to try something different.
