I’m going to be selling off my desktops in the next month or so, so I went about looking for a cheap desktop replacement notebook. I didn’t want to break the bank getting one, but I also didn’t want to have to do without some of the games I play regularly. I ended up finding [...]

Recently I expressed my excitement at the release of this new CGI space epic, which, from the premise and teaser trailers looked like it could be excellent. Recently I felt let down with Monsters vs. Aliens, and had a couple of laughs watching Bolt so I was really hoping for a CGI movie to bring back the glory days of Toy Story or Shrek. Alas, it looks like this movie won’t. Watch the review after the jump that is hardly glowing.

I tend to rent a lot of my games as I move on fairly quickly to a new game so owning them is of little use to me, but the service I use for renting games seems to of clogged up recently, meaning I don’t get the games I want to play as fast as I used to. Which is why i’m only getting around to Killzone 2 now. I ended up getting a loan of it off a friend who loved it.
Also, being a bit of a PC gamer elitist, I really don’t like playing FPS games on the console with a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse.
