I started SR3 with the zombie voice and got sick of it pretty fast. Especially when you turn on subs and it says "garbles incoherently" when your character speaks in-game :lol:
You can change it at the plastic surgeon (somehow) so it's all good now :yes:

Today I picked up Assassin's Creed for a fiver. So far it's alright, not got properly started yet but I have a fucktonne of time off over the next 2 weeks so plenty of time to get stuck in.

Oh boy did I get bored of Call Of Duty quickly. I didn't bother wasting my money on the new one either.

Only games I've been playing were a few free MMO's on the pc. Need For Speed World, Global Agenda, DC Universe Online. All awesome. :D
If I like it, It's probably awful.

Clutch, Kamelot and The Ocean for BOA 2014 pls!

borderlands 2 will be out towards the end of september, according to this video, which also makes the game look as good as i hoped.



So can't wait for this. The trailer's a bit shit mind, makes it look exactly like the first one. :P

Ive been having a crap run on MW3, but I think its down to my third world internet. Not much I can do about that. Fuck you Virgin Media for making me look a pleb in front of stone cold killaz.

I actually quite like the campaigns in Modern Warfare games. They're cheesy as hell but fun!
Bit pissed with MW1 though, that fucker is too hard! Stuck on the mission where you have to fight to the top of a hill, only for your pick up to go "lol nope, get back down there in 3 mins". Only made it down there once and I was 20sec too late :x

Don't get me wrong, the first one was fantastic. It just defeats the point of a trailer if it makes it look like a direct copy. :lol:

Just in case anyone on here has it ordered, Game have cancelled all pre-orders of Mass Effect 3. And Mario Party 9. And they're not stocking any new releases from EA.

Looks like they are done for, I have a mate who works for them so feel sorry for him. Apparently atmosphere in the stores is dire today, as most people can see the writing on the wall

FUCKING SUCK!!!!
