I'm a teacher in Australia currently in the 2nd week of the two week school holidays. My wife had a day in at work today, so my plans were to get some marking done, play some video games and just relax. That changed when I woke up and logged into Facebook. The Giantbomb page had a link to what seemed unbelievable news. The website wouldn't load. Twitter was abuzz confirming the news. You hear a...
Just an excuse to get the quest
Hello all, Now I am aware that this is the internet, and people do not come here to Giantbomb to be lectured on correct sentence structure and grammar. Indeed people often intentionally type incorrectly on the internet as a way to kick back and as a means of convenience (e.g u r lame). However it is disheartening to see people make simple mistakes that I am certain carries over to their actual...
Just reaffirming Dragon Age: Origins as my game of the year. And that is the Xbox 360 version! Just finished it not 5 minutes ago and WOW. I actually enjoyed the ending and the way it presented text with images so that it could reflect on how you personally affected the world. Looking forward to a second playthrough to do things differently. That final battle was crazy. A dragon is enough, but...
Modern Warfare 2 Assassin's Creed 2
So I have recently gotten the internet set up at my new house and, being excited by this, have poured some time back into Xbox Live. Having just picked up CoD4 (I had previously finished the single player but never had a chance to get into the multiplayer) I have been pouring a few hours into playing it. A couple of months ago, my 360 had an E74 error about halfway into our two week school holi...
and that console is......Xbox Live! I have had my Xbox going on two years now, but have always been worried about how the wireless network adapter would work (as my internet is not that great to begin with) and it was always too difficult to physically link the 360 and the net. So I held back, and have contented myself with offline singly player experiences, which have still been awesome. Final...
Having just returned from a recent holiday to Daydream Island in the beautiful Whitsundays off the coast of Queensland and having returned home to Sydney, the question I have posed myself is what should I now play? Daydream Island I only have a week of holidays left before school resumes and I have to get back to being a teacher so I'm looking to get in some solid gaming. So far my list include...
I know this is not an entirely original concept but here goes. Mine is probably going to be limited to a top 5 because I don't play a massive amount of different games but here goes, in no partifular order. 1. Burnout Paradise This seems to have gone unnoticed by a lot of people who may have forgotten that it was released back in February. This is one of my games of the year despite my personal...
wasn't going to get it anyway (my PC is too crap) but I think it is a pretty lame idea, even if all of the games are big enough to be games in their own rights. Part of the fun is playing as each of the different factions without being locked into just one. Sure you have a preference for one over the other but sometimes you feel like a change, and it is great to see the story from each perspect...
