I’m such a wuss!

Monday, February 9th, 2004

Well I finally got to play PS2 today. I played Project Zero for about two and a half hours alone in the house and it completely freaked me out. It’s a Japanese horror game set in an abandoned house which is avoided by the local villagers. There are stories of strange rituals […]

X-Box Vs PS2

Wednesday, January 7th, 2004

Rob bought his X-Block over today for an afternoon of “hot hot
gaming action”. He also has Need for Speed: Underground so we played that
first. My initial reaction was eurgh! I cannot emphasize enough how much I
hate the X-Box controllers. They are too big and they have too many buttons.
Needless to say […]

Need for Speed Underground

Tuesday, December 30th, 2003

Cars, good. Speeding, good*. Bodykits and Neon, good. Yep, Need for Speed Underground has it all and is the
best game I have played in ages. It has just the right mix of fun and
frustration and I think the learning curve is smooth enough to let most people
enjoy it. I bought […]

Gaming Madness (part 2)

Saturday, September 13th, 2003

Me, Tone and Rob went to Brick’s country pile today for another gaming day. Unfortunately for us, as I
mentioned previously, Brick’s regained most of the use of his hand so he was
doing quite well at Gran Turismo. Still I think between the four of us we were
fairly evenly matched, kind of. […]

An Experience

Saturday, August 30th, 2003

I went to the PS2 Experience this afternoon with Rob, Tone and Will. I was
really looking forward to it and unfortunately I thought it was quite
disappointing. I can’t really say what I was expecting but I thought there
would be more than just games. I was hoping for some demo’s of the PSP […]

Gaming Madness…

Thursday, July 10th, 2003

Today was a lot of fun. Rob, Brickhead and Tony (friends from A-Levels)
came over for a day of PS2. Unfortunately the brick has had an accident which
means he can only use one hand at the moment though he still put in an
impressive performance on Burnout 2!! The EyeToy was definitely a favourite for
playing and watching. […]

This can’t be good…

Tuesday, July 8th, 2003

I went up to London to meet Will today. He gave me my birthday
present . OH MY GOD! It’s stunning. I have been playing it for 6 hours
solid, I only stopped as I had to have dinner. That’s it, nothing is gonna get
done until it’s completed. G’nite.
