'Nintendo turned me Noob'

I recently got a 360, and with it halo 3, and now oblivion, perfect dark (avoid, its shit) & most recently Tom Clancy blah blah Vegas. It became clear whilst playing the later that over the past couple of years i've lost my knack for being, ya know, good, at video games.

And i blame it all on fucking Nintendo.
With their lack of any properly decent games for Wii and last years of the gamecube, i've become out of practice, and as a result, been getting my ass handed to me by Vegas. Lets have a look at the good proper wii games out in Europe. Theres Zelda, aka ocarina 1.5, the relitavly lackluster Red Steel, and - Hang on, thats about it. No wonder i've been slipping.

The good news is that finally some good wii games seem to be coming, (Galaxy, Brawl, No more heroes) but after a 3 - 4 year drought of barely buying anything, im suddenly overloaded with choice, especially considering the mammoth catalogue of good 360 games that i should be getting.



& then hopefully i'll have some serious practice for by the time i get round to bothering to buy a live subscription (fucking microsoft, why isn't it free??)

Meanwhile in the world...

- Life drawing, aka naked people drawing, is be the most awkward thing in the world.

- I really need to get proper handwriting

- I really need a new fucking computer. This one has 256mb ram. For the non-geeks, thats absoloute shit.

- Thanks to the bloke at screwyouhippy.com for the link to me.... yeh.

Get Call of Duty 4.. honest, it's ace..

Oh, and Xbox live is free, for the first month, just sign up and they give you a free month gold membership that retrogrades to Silver if you don't cash out...

(just keep sticking to the options that say "0" and they give you a free month)

Yeh i know, its on my list of 360-games-to-buy... alongside Gears, Bioshock, Orange box, Dead Rising, Skate, Crackdown... i could go on.

Oh by the way do you know if the splitscreen on CoD4 is any good? There don't seem to be many decent (4 player) splitscreen multiplayer games for 360...

An yup i know, expect cos im an impatient twat, i got the core package, not premium, so no free month. So now i'll be needing to get a headset, hardrive, probably cheap 2nd hand...
