ALL Xbox Live users to get free arcade game for recent problems!

I'm not going to get too excited as I expect we'll just get crap, But hey free stuff is always good. Nice to see a bit of compensation from Microsoft I guess.

Looking forward

How was Christmas for everybody? As always I loved it. Christmas has always been my favourite time of year. I got Mass Effect and I've finished that and can easily it's my best game this year. I put up a review in case anybody needs persuading to buy said masterpiece.

I've put off Call of Duty 4 till the start of next year so I guess I'm missing out on that, and heck haven't got around to properly playing Orange Box either so There might still be some competition - I'm not a huge fan of shooters don't flame me.

So thats the TWENTY-NOUGHT-SAVAGE or whatever we called it at the start of the year over it's been big not only for the industry but for Gamespot itself with a lot of changes, you know what I'm talking about so I won't go on.

So... What next... Geez it's been a scary ride this last quarter heck you can hardly call it a quarter the madness arguably kicked off when BioShock and Halo 3 came out.

Oh yeah Burnout Paradise, I tried the demo it's fun I'm to lazy to blab on about everybody should have played it and if not you are probably to bogged down with the last months releases to care. Mercenaries2 is coming soon haven't checked up on that since I heard it was delayed so I'll have to check for a date on that, Metal Gear 4 but thats never bloody coming out in Q2 In fact I hope it doesn't. Some people think he's had long enough but I want Kojima to tune that Metal Gear piano perfectly. Smash Bros... Meh can't say I'm bothered at this point Smash Bros is fun but I can't get excited about it at the moment.

Anyway short blog post because I like to write stuff when I be bored. I'll probably go play through Mass Effect again on Hardcore, Leave Call of Duty 4 till later save a bit of money for that little inconvienience called 'life'

Till 2008 happy gaming people.

Some squashed clips from Age of Conan's GS Game Night. This was taken using the FRAPS software, so it doesn't look as smooth as footage I take using a deck. Enjoy!
