I really shouldn't be proud about this but I can't help but feel a little giddy at meeting this imaginary and meaningless milestone. Bow before my glory! Well, I guess I'll work my way to 100,000 now. (Yeah, right.)

It is curently the 21st of Ocotber, 00:20 AM (GMT). It is my sixteenth birthday. While I don't see sixteen as much of a deal as many a people think it is, I do think that it's a great time to reflect on one's self and look towards the future. The past sixteen years seem to have gone in an instant as it seems only yesterday that I was blowing out my first candle on my first birthday cake. (That'...

I recently began to start making small wiki edits across a number of pages and I came across the Dungeon Keeper 2 page which was quite bare. So I decided to mark down information as I played through the game, which is one of my favourites of all time, and then plant them into one giant wiki submission in hope of completing the 'Tactial Nuke' & 'Big Fan' quest. I had a lot of editing the page an...

Click here to view Part One. Continuing from my last blog post I will be discussing my favourite games of the past half-year of 2010. In Second Place... Like GTA... but better. When I first heard that Rockstar was developing a new game outside of the Grand Theft Auto or Manhunt franchise and I became excited. However, the more I began to learn about Red Dead Redemption the more I began to loose...

So, with the first half of 2010 coming to a close I took a moment to reflect on some of my favourite games which have really made gaming worthwhile during these first sixth months of what could be a very succesful year. In Fourth Place... Raaaaaaaaaaawr. It was all there: Two of the greatest Sci-Fi franchaises, ever. Two of the greatest Sci-Fi creatures, ever. A studio returning to a franchaise...

Visited the site a few minutes to go to find that I had unlocked this: Thanks for all the recommendations on my Borderlands review , as well as all the recommendations on my other reviews!

Oh Baby! So, after I've finished my coursework I'll be sinking my teeth into this fantastic looking sequel. I can't wait! How does the sequel hold up compared to the original?

This achievement is awarded to those who complete Batman: Arkham Asylum 100%. I feel pretty proud, as I only used a Riddler Guide to find 5 trophies. I did leave one thing unfinished though, the 'Party Pooper' achievement. I honestly don't mind going back to complete the game again just for that one achievement, it'll be a blast to go through it once more.

This blog post will be my 1000th post on Giant Bomb, so I thought I'd take the moment to reflect on the time I've spent here and put them in to a blog, it probably won't be much of a reflection since I'm actually quite tired... but oh well. I heard of the site a while ago and watched it grow from the blog posts that Jeff put up in to the growing community it is now, I didn't join at launch as I...

So for a long time I've been fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, as well as other Tim Burton productions such as: Sweeney Todd; Edward Scissorhands; Corpse Bride and the like. So when I saw the trailer for Coraline I instantly thought that this was another Tim Burton film, but too my surprise it was not, I was half righ Henry Selick t though. Coraline is directed by Henry Selick, who also di...

And I've got to say, it's one of the most frustratingly hard games I've ever played. The funny thing is though, is that it's not actually a hard game, the only reason it's hard in my books is this: CONSTANT GRENADE SPAM The amount of times I had to dodge greandes in "The Heart of the Reich", was ridiculous! I hope they re-think a way to make Veteran hard without the endless grenades descending...

With all the buzz surrounding E3, I thought it'd be cool to share my thoughts and hear your own, about which games this year you think will totally kick arse. Alan Wake This game has almost been completely invisible, and I almost feared it would turn into another Duke Nukem Fornever. However, Remedy seem to avoided that fate and have brought out.. what seems like an interesting survival horror...

So been coming to the site for a couple of months now, and finally decided to register. I've been posting about in the Off-Topic forums for a bit, and written a review so I figured I'd post a blog. :) Hope to see you guys on the forums and comments etc. xD Take care all
