I didn’t enjoy the last Battlefield incarnation (it’s on my trilogies to finish list), and this one hasn’t got off to a great start. Playing on the XBOX, I’m not put off by the 2 Gig HD install. Think it’s great really, as it will mean faster data retrieval and more detailed texture mapping. And the game isn’t poor, far from it. What I don’t like is EA’s marketing and…
I haven’t had my N4 or N7 for more than a year, so I can’t see myself updating devices just yet, but I am excited about the new version of the Android OS, KitKat 4.4… although it doesn’t seem too long ago since I was waiting for the 4.3; what happened to the talked about 5.0? So what am I excited about? 10 Cool Features from zdnet Unlimited home screen…

By installing Gnome on 13.10 Saucy Salamander I lost my mouse cursor when opening Unity Now I’ve never beent he biggest fan of Unity; but through asking advice on the irc freenode #ubuntu channel I was introduced to xubuntu. π I find it hard to believe that over the many years, installations, and virtual boxes that I’ve never tried xubuntu before! I’ve fallen for its simplicity and ease, what drew…

After a session playing Skyrim yesterday (I accidently killed the Ebony Knight, I may go back to an earlier save), I was inspired to load up for the first time Bethesda‘s Rage, and I’ve been pleasently surprised. It feels like a glossy verison of Borderlands, set in a near identical World Interplay’s signature post- apocalypse Fallout, although with a feel of Mad Max. Finding it easy to engage with; usual…

Bataman; Arkham Origins (Metacritic 74%, 8.0)on the 360 is staggeringly beautiful, (I’m going to have to go back and play the last title to see how it looks in 1080p) the textures are detailed, and the character movements slick. The flow style battle is back, just as brutal, and fun. Gadgets are equipped from the offset, with the ‘level-up’s’ earned It all sounds good eh? But my one problem with…

I’ve just picked up Assassins Creed iv Black Flag for the xbox 360 π I have mixed expectations about this; (no ratings yet: Metacritic as it doesn’t release to the rest of the World for another 12 hours, gotta love the antipodes) I didn’t really get into ACiii, I didn’t like the controls or find the plot engrossing… but on the other hand I’m a big fan of pirate games,…

Just completed Beyond: Two Souls, it was a nice change from the run of the mill FPS, or beat-em-up that I usually play. It does play like a film, totally linear, with the Illusion of different paths… promise no spoilers π The characters are deep, and the plot dark at times, although I wouldn’t be surprised if the Aussie regulators cut content from the version I played through. This week…

I’ve added yet another fighting game to my xbox collection, and am quite impressed, and it’s an arcade title! π Virtual Fighter has a great heritage, perhaps one of the 1st 3D fighters, just beating Tekken to consoles I’ve played other versions of the game in the past, but can’t claim to have enjoyed any as much as this. The 3 button simplicity hooks you in quickly, then the learning…

I have memories as a kid, crowded around an arcade machine watching older teenage kids pour 10p pieces, which then seemed the size of wagon wheels, into a Dragon’s Lair arcade machine. People would line up their money, ready to deposit it in the slot and continue the quest, after the last players skills had failed him (never remember any girls in arcades?), or his change had been relinquished. Remember…
