Number one in the world!

Number one in the world!

I've finally achieved my dream of being number one on a leaderboard on an Xbox 360 game! Yesterday we downloaded Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations for Lips, and after our first go we saw that we could easily get to the top spot. We sang it a few more times, each time getting closer and closer until finally:…
Grifball!

Grifball!

Bungie's Double XP Weekend playlist of choice this last weekend was Grifball. I adore Grifball. Created by Burnie Burns of Rooster Teeth, thanks to the wonder of Halo 3's Forge map creation tool and the fully customisable game-types, then combined with being able to spread these around via your own personal File Share, Grifball is undoubtedly the most successful user-created…

Revenge of the Burnout

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
As I said on Sunday, I recently re-purchased Burnout: Revenge for the Xbox 360. When I first got it, I had only just finished Burnout: Revenge on the old Xbox, so I was not really motivated to play through it again. I was probably suffering from Burnout BURNOUT lol! Some time has passed now though, and coupled with the measly…

Up and down

After all the excitement of last week, this week has been a bit more reserved, not a lot has happened and it's been very quiet. I was on a bit of a downer early on in the week, I expected it after the massive highs of last week to be honest. I picked up Burnout: Revenge the other day, it…

Lips

Yes, we finally got around to it. After years of deliberating about which singing game to get, Jane and Claire went halves on Lips: Number One Hits with two microphones. We had a quick dabble last night and it was ok, but when we properly set it up with my Gamer Profile earlier today (it was a sneaky way to…

A killing spree? Me? No way!

Continuing on from my raving about The Arena yesterday, I had a superb game yesterday afternoon in The Arena - One guy on our team dropped out early, but I was picking off bitches left, right and centre, camping the Hammer room with the Hammer and I got a fucking 10 kill spree. I'm pretty shit to be honest, I…

Here's my one screenshot I've taken so far. I took advantage of the way Spartans hold their hands out when running against walls. Nice touch, that. At first I was a bit let down, or confused, maybe. All these new things to use such as Armour Abilities and the new weapons, but after a few games I found some sweet…
Goodbye Halo 2

Goodbye Halo 2

Last night was the last time Halo 2 will ever be playable over Xbox Live. Personally, I didn't attend (I got rid of Halo 2 ages ago - I never envisioned a time when we'd play it again), but I have spent the time being devoted to Halo 2 in other ways. I've been listening to the soundtrack (thanks again…
