MAG Open Beta: Initial Impressions

Jan 8th, 2010 | By | Category: Games

After a rather odd download and install sequence of this Beta demo (required a ~40MB PS Store download, then an install, then another ~40MB download when the game launched, then another install, then a last ~1800MB download with a final install) I got into the game for the first time and… the servers where down. [...]



Mad Catz TE FightStick: Faceplate Mod

Dec 30th, 2009 | By | Category: Games

Don’t think I’ve mentioned this on here before (even though I’ve reviewed the game earlier this year) but I’m a huge Street Fighter IV fan. I play for at least a half hour every day to stop the rust from settling in and to try out some new stuff in the training mode. Being honest, [...]



Mech Warrior: Living Legends Beta is OUT!!!

Dec 29th, 2009 | By | Category: Games

Sorry for the triple exclamations but I’m seriously stoked that this is finally out. Hopefully the beta won’t be too buggy (please, release the Jurassic Park mod also).

On the fly: Valkyria Chronicles

Dec 16th, 2009 | By | Category: Games

Well I’ve been putting off this game for quite a while. I finally received it on rental about a week ago, but have been too engrossed in Resident Evil 5 and Street Fighter 4 (yes, still) to touch it. The lacklustre demo didn’t really impress me that much, in fact it downright put me off [...]



Windows Live Writer

Dec 16th, 2009 | By | Category: Tech and the Net

Finally… Windows live writer has the feature I’ve been waiting for since I started this blog. It only came out last month (this post is actually going to be a test of so fingers crossed it works). It’s a plugin that allows me to add custom fields to a post when I’m publishing it. You [...]
