Holy Geez!!! Burnout Paradise is INSANE!!! (This is not a clinical diagnosis, just an opinion.)
Played it on the PS3 last night and when I finally got used to the NOS and handbrake buttons (they are the opposite to the XBox NFS ones) I had a blast. Running other cars off the road to add them to your junkyard, to win races or just for the hell of it is what the game seems to be about. Plus there is the part where you crash your car and start a chain reaction of crashes, trying to cause as much damage (in $$) as you can before you run out of NOS and are forced to stop.
Also played Smackdown vs Raw 2007 on the XBox - Undertaker ftw! Well, not really. Undertaker got beaten in the cage match (I couldn't figure out how to get over the top of the cage) and with a little assistance he won the Royale Rumble (I gave James the controller and he managed to flick Triple H out of the ring in less than 20 seconds) but it left me wanting. Wanting Fight Night 4 that is.
That's all from me tonight. Happy hunting!

So...
Damn, it's been a while. Sorry to anyone who keeps tabs on me, been a busy few weeks. Had my birthday and the job moved shops, you know the crap that life throws at you.
Anywho, I got Saints Row 2 for my birthday from my lovely fiancee and I've loved every second of it so far. Runnin' and gunnin' for your crew is a blast and living in various holes around the town is great. The fact you have to clear out an abandoned hotel for your crew to hang out in is a fun way to get back into the swing of things.
Also been playing Fable 2 (Thanks James!) quite a bit recently. Have run through the main story of the game once already and had to try it out as the evilest and most corrupt guy I could... and it was damned easy to do! Going to have to give it a go as a goody-twoshoes too just to see how it changes the game but its been hell fun to kick the shit out of the villagers of Oakfield - yeah, I bought out that town when everyone was dead - and I love the fact that you can leave the game going (even with the controller disconnected) and you keep getting rent from your various properties. Ended up with 62000 gold after one particularly long break.
James and I will be forming a joint blog about gaming soon, more a look at the specifics of a game instead of personal feelings about them, so when it happens I'll make a note of it here.
Happy hunting!
