Grand Theft Auto IV Spotify Playlists

Spotify has become my main way of listening to music at home, though I’ll leave the discussion of that to another day.  I’m also playing ‘The Lost and Damned’ addon to Grand Theft Auto IV at the moment, which has inspired me to check out some of the bands on GTA IV’s many radio stations [...]

First Impressions of the New Xbox Experience

Pros

It’s responsive. Downloading games to the hard disk is a fantastic feature, making the Xbox 360 so much quieter. The whole interface reminds me of the various media centre apps out at the moment, with context sensitive backgrounds and information. The mini guide that appears when you press in the Xbox guide button is [...]

Regarding Gears of War itself, there are only two observations I have- firstly the cooperative AI is too daft to play the game on insane difficulty solo, and secondly [...]

1000 Gamerpoints: Assassin’s Creed

I just killed my last Templar – quite stylishly I might add by countering his attack and sticking my hidden blade through his neck – netting me 40 gamerpoints bringing me to the full 1000.

I got Assassin’s Creed back when it was released in November 2007 and looking at my achievement history I [...]
