  Update 3

  Ok, so thought I'd post yet another one of my blog posts just to mention what games I'm currently playing and other time investments.
  So I've gained a few more games since my last update, all on PS3. These include the following:-
  
  - Dark Souls (Limited Collector's Edition and only £17.99 from Tesco!)
  - Deus Ex: Human Revolution
  - L.A. Noire (Actually borrowing it from a friend so it's technically not mine)

  I bought Dark Souls in the knowing I hadn't actually played Demon Souls, therefore not prepared for the onslaught that is this RPG. Don't get me wrong, everything the reviews have said is correct, it's absolutely stunning, but it's EXTREMELY hard, especially for an amateur RPG-er such as myself. But I must say, I'm extremely impressed with it and I'll probably invest in Demon Souls at some point too, just as soon as I start to get the hang of the difficulty more.

  As far as Deus Ex is concerned, I owned it originally on the Xbox 360 when it was released and although I did like it, I got bored of it pretty quickly. Decided to give it another shot and I can't understand why I got so bored of it originally. It's got beautiful looks, edge-of-seat gameplay and an interesting story. It's also a different take on the FPS genre, which does provide a fresh experience, something that's becoming rare these days.

  Now L.A. Noire I've actually already completed on the Xbox too, but I just had to give it another crack on the PS3. I loved it on Xbox, mostly because it's so different from anything else out there, but also for the fact that the story and characters are absolutely stellar. It also helps that it's a very long game, but not too long to which the entertainment factor turns into monotony. Also, because I'm playing it on PS3, no more am I changing discs every 10 hours thanks to blu-ray.

  To conclude, I've got a lot of stuff to do at the moment, along with work on a website my friend created which I'm currently editing for. But yeah, if I think of anything interesting to put on here, I'll be sure to go through with it.

  Update 2

  I know I haven't done a blog post in a while, but this year has been pretty hectic and I haven't had the chance up until now. Just thought I'd let everyone know where I'm currently at and what I'm currently playing.
  At the moment, I'm playing a total of 4 games on the PS3. These include:-
  
  - Resistance 3
  - RAGE
  - Battlefield 3
  - MotorStorm Apocalypse
  
  I've just completed the Battlefield 3 campaign mode and I have to say I don't understand why so many people were complaining about it. Yes, it's very short and a tad predictable, but it's fast and a hell of a lot of fun. Also, I enjoyed trying to get most of the trophies out of it so I was ready for the online ones.
  Resistance 3 is a pleasent surprise too. I only just got round to buying it even though I know it's been out for a while and I'm very impressed with it so far. The graphics are beautiful and the environments are very well done. Haven't tried the online yet but going off the previous games in the series, it's probably going to be one of the highlights of the game.
  RAGE also took me by surprise aswell. Just like Resistance 3, I never got round to buying it earlier but I must say I wish I had bought it earlier. There's no denying that this is one of the best looking games ever to grace the planet and amazingly, the gameplay matches up to it's inspiring looks. The shooting is very fun and there's a whole load of stuff to do within the campaign and online components.
  Now MotorStorm is one of my favourite racing franchises of all time. One of the few reasons I bought a PS3 in the first place. And Apocalypse doesn't let me down. It's an incredible racing game, probably one of the best I've played in a long time. Also, the fact that it is different from most other racing games out there entices me to play it more often. The graphics and sound are amazing, there's a multitude of things to do on it so you're never short of races or vehicles.
  Well that's pretty much it for now. If I happen to come across anything else interesting, I'll be sure to do another blog post about it. Oh, and before I forget to mention, my friend and I have started up a new website. It's very lowly at the moment, mostly because of the lack of members, but we're trying to keep it as up to date as we can, and when we've got enough members involved we'll be starting a clan for some online gaming.

  Update

  Just a quick update to let everyone know what I'm doing. Currently playing Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on the PS3, and I must say, I'm extremely impressed. The environments are varied and beautiful, the combat is fast and exciting, and the story is brilliantly told with some stellar voice actors.
  Other than that, going to be playing some more Fallout 3 on Xbox 360, mostly as a build up to New Vegas next week. But I realised that I've missed some side quests out and I'm hoping to do a few of them before having to do New Vegas.
