I recently joined an online games rental site. I’ve been looking for somewhere for a while that I could rent Xbox games and then I discovered swapgame.com. The first of my games arrived this morning and I powered up the Xbox to play it and it didn’t come on, the Xbox was FRAGing […]

This week I chipped my Xbox. If you’re thinking about doing it I would recommend it. I used the Xapt3r with an Xecuter 3 CE and the X3 Control Panel. I was very nervous about it because I would have felt stupid if it had all gone horribly wrong but a bit of […]

I got my Xbox today, it’s a black one, it came with Halo, Midtown Madness 3 & Rainbow Six 3. It’s pretty cool. I still think it’s too big but it does have two distinct advantages over the PS2; four controller ports on the console and a built in hard drive. The […]

Last week we had about 90 Slimline PS2’s in. About half of them were already preordered the rest sold out in under an hour. I’ve lost track of how many customers I’ve turned away that wanted them. I’ve just had a quick look around on the web and nowhere has them; Amazon, […]

Two desktop PCs, four laptops, three OS’s, One Game. On Thursday “the boys” came over and we had a bit of hot hot LAN action.

As I mentioned in a previous post I have now got my PS2 online. Although I really have other things I should be doing I bought SOCOM II on Saturday. SOCOM comes with a headset that consists of a speaker and microphone so that you can shout voice commands to your teammates in […]

My post about PS2 Online seems to have sparked some life into the xbox vs PS2 debate. Dean has made some strong arguments for the xbox as it has a HDD and decent online options. However Xbox Live has a subscription fee and I already have a fair sized collection of PS2 games. […]

I bought the Network Adapter for my PS2 today, I got it for £19.99 which I thought was fairly reasonable. This evening I got it out of the packaging (no mean feat in itself!) and fitted it on the PS2. Then I opened the instructions and saw that I needed the model and serial number […]

My copy of Rez arrived today from play. It’s the perfect cyberpunk game. The whole thing is set inside a computer and its highly stylized. If you can remember R-Type and games of that genre, then imagine them being played from a first person perspective, thats basically the game dynamic. The […]
