28 April 09 06:01 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
Awesome, in a word. Max Payne® 2- The Fall of Max Payne Wins my award for most heartbreaking game ever. With some pretty funky action along the way. I wasn’t as much of a fan of the first one, though if you play them back to back, they run very well together. Read More...

Which means I was going to go buy GTA IV today! GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas absolutely blew me away with the quality of the narrative and distinctive and unique open worlds. Best of all, guilty pleasures all in a consequence-free environment! Read More...

Fans of this blog - of whom there are at least six (see mum? 100% up on last year, despite the lack of official updates) - will know that I hold a special place in my heart for October, or as the cool kids like to call it, ROCKtober. Why does October Read More...

16 April 07 02:10 AM | tristank | 0 Comments   
I'd heard they were out, but couldn't find one for money nor begging at the local shopping centre this weekend. This either means they're really popular, or we just sold all four we imported! Consumer: Drat. Shareholder: much rejoicing. Read More...
360 Elite, Eh?
28 March 07 05:48 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
We announced what appears to have been the world's worst-kept gaming secret! From my perspective (as an Australian owner of a White Xbox for the last year), I'm not fussed; HDMI is non-present on my current monitor, and I'm quite happy with the VGA cable. Read More...

My Weekend: Crackdown

Gah! The whole weekend spent playing Crackdown! What has the world come to!? Crackdown does a bunch of stuff phenomenally well. I've had to think, I've had to react quickly, and in some areas I've just had to sandbag my way through. Climbing up the sides Read More...

It's great that it's finally out in the US... Not so good that I got back last week, dagnabbit! Now I just need to wait for Aussie availability, so I can play RFactor with Racing Wheel comfort until Forza 2 drops! Mmm. Racing wheel. Combine that with Read More...

Sick Day

My eyes just haven't been the same since the tusk incident, and the medication seems to be making them worse. I'm typically the last person you'll see away from the office, but with eye things, it's better to not take the risk of spreading them. Still, Read More...

If you've got an Xbox and broadband but haven't upgraded from Silver, give it a go! It's free until 10pm Sunday. I've been playing Gears of War this week, and am *itching* to take it online, but my phone line decided to suddenly choke my ADSL connection Read More...

What am I looking forward to this Christmas? Well, two have really caught my fancy: Gears of War - 23 Nov (I mean seriously, with a metascore like that , I'd need to seriously justify not buying it) Rainbow Six Vegas - 23 Nov ( metascore not there yet, Read More...

Today: 1. Saints Row should become available locally for the Xbox 360. Liked the demo. On the subject, did anyone try out the Just Cause demo from Marketplace? That was really over-the-top latin american fun! I wonder if it'll have Live capabilities, Read More...
