What’s with all the films?

Many of my posts are mini-reviews for the films I'm watching as part of the 2010 IMDb Top 250 Challenge. Read more here.

Another update

So I’ve been slow to update again, resulting in the state of limbo so often seen on abandoned websites across the Internet.

In short, I have completed Jade Empire, of which the final battles were the first genuine challenge of the whole game.

I have now started playing the free-to-play MMO Guild Wars. I clocked [...]

Update

It’s been a while since I last updated here, mainly because their hasn’t been much to say and because I’ve been enjoying the sunshine or being too tired in the evenings to do anything. A quick what I’ve been up to:

Oblivion

I stopped playing shortly after getting Jade Empire. I was getting to the [...]

Postcards from the Jade Empire

Some screenshots of my travels so far. Yes I know its one in the morning, the game is strangely addictive.

Jade Empire

The other day I ordered Jade Empire Special Edition which was recently released for the PC. I have a great respect for the Bioware, the developers who also created (in my opinion) the greatest RPG of them all: Baldur’s Gate II. After hearing some positive things about Jade Empire I picked it up. It [...]

Kane Lives: Command & Conquer 3

I downloaded the hefty demo of Command & Conquer 3 last night and gave it a bash this morning. I mentioned before that I had my reservations about it, but I am glad to say that they are mostly unfounded. The game seems much better than Generals (too ‘War on Terror’ for me) and [...]

Oblivion: power gaming?

So I’ve spent about fifteen minutes in game, and about three or four hours reading FAQs and wikis on creating the perfect character. I was not satisfied as with games like this you often realise the apparent shortcomings in your character about 20 hours after the last chance to change anything.

I used to do [...]

Oblivion

I’m trying to get into Oblivion on the PC. I bought it at launch but never got on with it but now cash is extremely tight (switching jobs means no cash for a couple of months) I’ve decided to play some of the games I never got round to finishing.

I spent about 2 hours [...]

Busy busy

I’ve been so busy of late, I don’t think I’ve turned on the 360 for at least a week.

I don’t like talking about work on here, but its been causing me stress. I recently quit my current job for a new one that’s closer to home and has more career opportunities. Problem was I [...]

Casting for Command & Conquer

I just read the casting line-up for upcoming Command and Conquer 3. Quite a bunch:

Joseph D. Kuncan: He's always played Kane, he IS Kane. Billy Dee Williams: Yeah, Lando from Star Wars. Michael Ironside: You might not recognise his name, but chances are he's been in a movie you've seen. I remember him most [...]

Tomb Raider Legend

Call me crazy but I picked up Tomb Raider Legend for the XBox 360 in the 'January' sales for £12.99 despite having completed it already on the PC. To make things worse the PC version and its 360-esqe next-gen mode was one of the main reasons I spent nearly £300 on a new graphics card, [...]
