kleaneasy"The most wasted of all days is one without laughter" 08 June Its been a whileNothing new when I say its been a while since I updated my blog, I seem to go through phases of posting something up every few days and then nothing for months.. Anyway I am here now, and free to ramble on for a moment, so whats been going on? well unless you've been under a Rock E3 2009 is whats been going on. I wont be stating any irregular view when I say I personally found the Microsoft conference the most impressive of the whole event, Splinter Cell Conviction is looking great among other titles although the whole Project Natal idea doesnt sit so well with me. I know its got a lot of people excited, and from a advancement point of view I can understand why, but frankly the idea of interacting with AI to that extent isnt my idea of fun. I play games because I enjoy the challenge and immersion, not because I dont have any real life friends to play with or talk to. All that said I've no doubt the technology will enable advancements in other game related areas we've otherwise not yet thought of and it will be interesting to see what those are. If you didnt follow E3 or missed the project natal demo check this out (apologies for the poor quality, I'll update the link if/when I find a better one) 04 April Gears of War 2 Snowblind Map PackXboxGameZone are giving one lucky member the chance to win the Gears 2 Snowblind map pack, so if you've not already head on over and get your name down  Metallica +I'm finding it increasingly difficult to wait for the release of Guitar Hero Metallica which comes out in the UK on the 29th May, I've been trying to ignore the games existance in some failed bid to manage the wait a little better but that is as I say failing. At this rate I'm going to end up with a counter on my monitor, looks like I'll be preordering this one in the hope I may get my hands on it a little early *crosses fingers*
On another note I've been working as Forum manager at Ubi for about 18+ months now, for the first time since starting we're working a new shift rota which kicks off this coming monday. I'm actually looking forward to it, while it takes me from working 3-4 days a week to 5 the hours reman the same giving me shorter shifts and more time online during the day. I'll also be getting my evenings back and not working any later than 8pm which after 18 months working till 10 3-4 nights a week thats going to make a nice change. It will also mean I can get back into some online games of an evening and theres no question I need plenty of practice on some games 15 March I finally got my backside on Twitter after some nudging, have to say I've been avoiding it for some time now but as with anything it reaches a point where you just have to do it. I'm somewhat contradictory when it comes to sites like this, on one hand I love having a quick and easy way to keep in touch with friends I dont often see either because they live to far away or we just dont have the time yet on the other hand the shear number of sites you're expected to be a part of irritates the living hell out of me..... not to mention I'm a nightmare for actually remembering to update anything (as anyone who follows this blog will know)
So I may or may not get into the habit of placing regular updates on twitter which may or may not be of any interest to anyone but for anyone interested one aspect of twitter I can promise you will be updated regularly (mostly because Haly's dealing with it and not me, thus the unreliability is removed from the equation) is the twitter XGZ group/ page/ thingywhatsit. So if anyones interested in following the 'to be updated often because Halys far more organised than me' XGZ page check it out and follow us  15 February Resident Evil 5 Hands OnPopped up to London on Friday for the Resident Evil 5 hands on preview day. I've noticed these events are becoming increasingly shorter which is both good and bad, I can understand why of course, not only does it allow them to get more people through the doors (always a good thing) but it means you always leave wanting more, the downside of course is you leave feeling you didnt get enough time in and wanted more.
Anyway thats another story, for now I'll just leave you all with the links to our coverage courtesy of one of the XGZ review team Haly. Check our her coverage of the actual event and not forgetting her interview with Ben LeRougetel thanks to the XGZ community who put their questions forward for the grilling. |
