It's been a while...

Hello there stranger!

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted on here, been far too busy to do anything!

Firstly, work has been busy as hell! Had to reapply for my own job, as I'm wanting to go permanent. It's a stupid red tape bollocks of a process that needs to be done. I'm just waiting for an interview date, and fingers crossed :-)

Anyway, main thing in my life is games, as you all know, and have been playing a couple of corkers recently...

First thing to be taking up my time is the new Pro Evo. Yes yes, "it's just a football game" I hear you cry! But it's the first time I've actually spent this much time on a footie game, in years! It just works for me. I'm not a fan of Fifa, but might give the new one a go. The handling works, and the game has a slower pace, so it feels more realistic. Graphics wise, it's pretty standard for a football game, and the likenesses are actually better than Fifa! (Interesting, baring in mind that the Fifa games hold the official FA licenses).

Another game I've been playing, mainly with the missus, is Gears of War 2. Fuck me it's fucking awesome!! Perfect co-op game! It looks bloody amazing! I recommend it to anyone who's up for blood, gore and awesome weapons. The story is gripping, with lots of twists and turns. We've almost finished it, and have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it!

Another game I've been "watching" is Fable 2. The missus grabbed it and got hooked. She's a big fan of Oblivion, and Fable 2 is a like a more casual version of it. I've watched her play the whole bloody game! It's a very glitchy piece of sofware, but even that doesn't defer from the fun of it. The dog you have as a companion is bloody good at sniffing out treasure for you, and you find yourself talking to it, a lot! You have the family aspect of the game, as well being able to marry your gay lover. I've had two wives so far, I murdered the first one because she was a fat moany bitch! The second one is much better :-)

Lastly, I've received my copy of Little Big Planet. As you guys know, I have spent the last six months testing it, and it's quite close to my heart. The game has all the British charm you would expect from a British developer. The narrator is Stephen Fry (how British!!!), and he fits the feel of the game perfectly. I highly recommend it to anyone with a PS3, and if you don't have a PS3, get one for it!!! The best side of the game has to be the community. There's another world, full of levels developed by the players of Little Big Planet. There are several which need to be played to be believed! There's a particular one, Azure Palace, which is just beautiful. I can't wait to see how the community matures, and the levels get better, as people get used to the tools.

Anyway, I've chewed your ear off for enough tonight. I'll have to catch up with you soon.

Take it easy guys!

Gears of Wow!

Good morning folks!

Well, just woken up from a late night of excellency! Nothing better than spending a rainy, Saturday night, with your other half playing Gears of War 2 on co-op. Also got some beer in and had pizza. Heaven!

Well, Gears of War 2 is bloody awesome! I wasn't a big fan of the original, but once I got playing it with the other half, I slowly started to enjoy it. Got the sequel Friday after work, (had to go straight there, couldn't wait any longer) and start playing it last night. I reckon we're about half way, after playing for 6 hours non-stop :-)

It's bloody brilliant! The graphics are the bst I've seen on the 360 for a while, and the gameplay is superb. The controls are exactly the same as the original, and the feel of the game is wonderful. It's such a visceral experience, and is so engaging, that we couldn't put it down! We had to stop in the end, as we were both tired!

Speaking of games, I bought Fable 2 a couple of weeks ago, and have only had the chance to play it a few times. The other half has been playing it, and is playing it right now! She only got up about an hour and an half ago, and went straight on it!

Anyhoo, I'm off to watch the other half play more games! Catch ya later :-)

This is awkward...

Uhm... hey!

I'm not very good at these I'm afraid. This is the first time I've done this, and don't really know what I doing lol.

Well, the name's KooKatchu (or Cat, depending on who you are), and I'm a Data and Information Assistant for the NHS. Sounds exciting, but it's not really. It's a support role for the IT department, blah, blah, yes I know, sorry.

Well, I guess from now one I'll be detailing my life, as and when it happens. It won't be anything exciting, but it'll be theraputic for me at least :-)

Anyhoo, I'll catch ya later!
