Has it been this long already?

Hey guys, been a while again eh? Well, I have been rather busy :-)

Firstly, life is goooood right now. Got a proper adult full time job, which is secure. I'm loving living in Cambridge and everything is going very well with the missus at the moment :-)

Ok, down to business, games.

Mirrors Edge is no more in my collection. Really couldn't be bothered with it. Such a shame really, but maybe I'll go back to it. Prince of Persia I haven't really played much since last time, but I do still want to play it. Maybe I'll get onto it this week.

What I have been playing is Skate 2, the sequel to one of my favourite games of last year. I had to get the new one on release, and have played it non-stop since! As a fan of the Tony Hawks games, it's been great to play a truly realistic skating game. 

The controls are just as smooth as before, but is hindered by the response time of the PS3 controller sometimes. (Yes yes, bad work man, blames tools, yadda yadda) The location is the same as the previous game, San Vanelona, but set futher in the future. Basically, the skater you made in the last game has spent time in the slammer for one reason or another, and is back to reclaim the streets. I didn't really pay attention to the story, I just wanted to skate :-)

The tricks in Skate 2 are the same as the previous, but have added lip tricks, more grabs and one footed tricks. They have also added the ability to get off of your board and move around! 

I would definitely recommend Skate 2 to anyone who has played the previous Skate, or have played any of the Tony Hawks games. Or, if you have never played a skateboarding game before, give it a go :-)

Another game I've been playing is Midnight Club: Las Vegas. It's alright, nothing really to write home about. It's not broken, but it's not superb. It's a street racing game. It does everything it says on the tin!

We've also had a go on Fallout 3, but really couldn't get into it. But it has got us back into Oblivion! The guys behind Fallout 3 created the best open world RPG on the 360, and Fallout 3 is very similar to it, but it's not for us. 

Future games to look out, Bayonetta for a start! If you like your Devil May Cry types, where you spend the game button bashing, then you just might like Bayonetta. Check out the website!

Right, I'm offskis! Take it easy!
