Picked up Super Mario Galaxy 2

I picked up super mario galaxy 2 and I am enjoying it so far I recommend it to all wii owners.

Games of 2011 part 2

Finally got a PS3

Morrisons were selling the PS3 on offer for £150 which has been the price I have said for a long time I will buy one at as I didn't want to spend alot on it as I already have a Xbox 360.I really am impressed a

• great console
• bluray 
• dvd 
• media player
• vod(video on demand)
• voice chat
• video chat
• webrowser 
•  bluetooth

 Alot of features for £150 if there any I missed tell me in the comments section and I will update it.

So far I have: ratchet and clank quest for booty, F1 2011, Resistance 3, Mag, Warhawk, Resident Evil 5, Fallout newvegas, Infamous and Littlebigplanet.

Also the exclusives are great I am not sure which is better the Xbox 360 or PS3 but I am prefering the PS3 now.

Microsoft announced 66 million Xbox 360 sales!

The Xbox 360 has now sold 66 million Xbox 360 units and 18 million kinect units this information was anounced at the ces conference.This is good news in that the Xbox 360 brand is infact getting stronger but it may delay the xbox 720 being released as microsoft won't want to release the 720 if the 360 is still selling very well.It's amaxing how far the Xbox brand has come in two generations now the third will truly be amazing.

PS4 and Xbox 720 e3 rumor

There is a rumour that the PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720 will be shown of at e3 2012 according to MCV.This has not been confirmed by either Microsoft or Sony.If this is True this will be the most exciting e3 ever as we will have all three of the big three competing in what will be the beginning of the 8th generation console war. I think that new consoles should be out by the end of the year as we have been gaming for years on the same tech and sequels of many games are just the same game with slightly better graphics and a few new features.This will change and we will see games with meaningful upgrades such as considerably improved graphics, higher frame rates,higher resolution,improved artificial intelligence,and improved physics, more charatcers in one place at one time,plus more things I can't remember.When next generation consoles hit we will have games that are actually worth the £40 or $60 because they won't be made on outdated systems that make improvements just by being slightly more efficient.I hope this rumour is true as I don't even see alot of point in buying sequels to games on the 360 or PS3 this fall as they will barely be better than the last game.

Starting Gaming on pc

I have just started gaming on pc my current rig has an i3 2100 and 4GB of ram I am using the Intel integrated graphics until the hd radeon 7000 series is released I will buy either a new 7000 series card or a 6000/500 series card that will be discounted when the hd 7000 series is released.

I have been playing Oblivion 5th anniversary,crysis maximum edition, company of heroes and a few free games off of steam.Now speaking of steam I don't really want to use it as I don't own an actual license to play the game and so far I have only bought disc based titles.I have the license to play oblivion on the disc and the product key and disc for crysis.If I buy games on steam and something happens to my account I would lose the licenses to play all of my games so I will stick to discs.I have really got into oblivion and at first I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out how to configure my controller( in the picture above) to work with the game eventually, I decided to use keyboard and mouse as the pc version wasn't designed for controllers and I have been enjoying using my keyboard and mouse to play it.Crysis ran well with everything on low except textures which was on medium @  1024* 768 and it used my controller well.

Pc gaming is a lot of fun and there are many exclusives on the platform mouse and keyboard is best for some games and controller is better for some games.I can't wait until the radeon hd 7000 series releases so that I can get my upgrades and max out crysis 1 and play games with graphics superior to the hd twins.Its not as expensive as people make it out so I recommend gaming on pc as you get great exclusives,great gameplay and great mods.

What will make me buy the wii u at launch.

Introduction Video

Rage disapointed me.

I really enjoyed rage alot and as the story moved on things got more serious too quickly. I began to think that it couldn't be coming to and end so soon as I assaulted the last base after playing for only nine hours! The reason I believed this was because the game is 22GB in space so I thought that surely that if the game was that big it would be long and have many hours of game play.The games game play was fun, the enemies were not too repetitive, the weapons were interesting one of them was a shotgun shell that was half a slug and half a grenade.The sound was pretty decent when things got intense,graphics were amazing not as good as crysis 2 or Gears of War 3 but very good still.When I played the multilayer mode it wasn't that good just short co-op missions and the racing I found to be quite boring and pointless as if you destroy an opponents car they just come back from out of nowhere and overtake you if you make a small mistake.There is little to no replay value as it is not something alot of people would play multiple times. I would say you should rent rage if it interests you but I am glad I did not buy it back at launch for £40 as the game is definitely not worth that much money.Ultimately rages downfall was how short it was.I think I will get an exchange on it and get something else with the £7.98 I spent on it at game station hopefully it will not be over in 10 hours.

Response to are Exclusives that important

Why the 5th Generation of pokemon games felt stale and what I think needs to be the main focus of future instalments.

I have been a Pokemon fan for years and have clocked up 250 hours on Pokemon emerald ,180 on diamond and on platinum.I bought Pokemon black at launch in march and I played through the campaign and then on the match making for a while.I only have played 90 hours my playtime should at least be on par with Pokemon diamond as there should be more to do as the 5th gen is the successor to the 4th generation.The only thing to do that is not too repetitive after beating the elite four is to play online matchmaking but I haven't bothered with it as I would have had to spend alot of time Ev training Pokemon.I didn't have this time as I was more interested in my 3ds which came out later that month.
I think next generation Gamefreak need to improve the amount of content that there is after the campaign so players can continue to play for a long time without becoming bored.

This could be done through:

• DLC(download able content)
• A revised formula.
• A new extremely upgraded battle frontier.
• Improved online.
• A mode where you can enter a friends game and play with them doing quests.
• More than one region like in Gold and Silver possibly even all the regions plus a new one.
• Bigger regions.
• More things to do after defeating elite four.
• Give Pokemon move experience that increases the powers of moves slightly like gun proficiencies in Modern Warfare 3.

Thank you for reading please comment if you have any ideas that you think would improve the series or if you disagree with any of my points.

The best 3ds game.
