Two Months Later

So, it’s exactly two months tomorrow since I bought my Xbox 360, and contrary to Hilly Billy’s statements, I’ve had a great time with the Xbox 360 and never looked back. So far I’ve got GTA IV (story completed, working on 100%), Halo 3 (working on that one) and Battlefield: Bad Company (someway through story, playing multiplayer loads though).

Talking to PS3 owners, they’re still having awful problems getting online in a lot of games. Notably, the other day PS3 released (and re-released) their 2.4 firmware update and 2 years of work didn’t really show. In my opinion, the in-game XMB wasn’t well thought through - people don’t want to view their photos whilst playing a game, they just want to send their messages! Still no game invites on the PS3 either.

Now - back to Xbox. Microsoft have announced some HUGE changes to the Xbox interface and I think they look pretty cool. Yeah, maybe they copied off Nintendo a bit in the avatar design, but it’s still gonna be great to play for real prizes in 1vs100 and have eight-player parties before going into games.

I did play my PS3 today though, only for Burnout Paradise since I haven’t got that for Xbox 360 yet. Criterion have just released their Cagney update and I tried out lots of new features. It did take a few hours to download though.

Now, I’m going to sit here and wait until Hilly Billy leaves a comment, which I guess won’t be long

Finished GTA IV Story

I’ve finished the story of GTA IV. Took the “revenge” option, thought the ending was great. Now I’ve got a long wait till the next game in the series, but I think i’ll try and finish this one 100% first!

Burnout Paradise DLC!

Wow. I never expected it. I never even realised till i was flicking through my PSN friends list and saw the words “BP Dust Storm coming” in the bubble above MRCMidnightRider’s name. I brought up Google, and soon found the best thing to hit my PS3 since Burnout Paradise was released - Downloadable Content!

If you don’t believe me (and i don’t blame you really), click here to see Criterion’s blog post on it. Then head on over to this forum post to see some speculation on what the new island might be.

Well, as far as I can gather, there’s some new cars - notably the Dust Storm dune buggy - and a new island. The new island could be an airport, I don’t know if you’ve heard Atomika on Crash FM mentioning the ’sunken’ airport or not. Or it could be something else.

They’ve even teased us with two (yes, two) videos of the new content - here and here.

There’s even word on the street of more islands to come out. I can’t wait! Feel free to leave comments if you’re as fanatical about Burnout as I am

Burnout Paradise

I’ve been waiting for it for months, and on Friday after school I went to get it. And I love it! I’ve been racing and scoring takedowns and upgrading by drivers license, and then last night I was up till 1:30am in an online party where we did loads of challenges and stuff like that.

The only problem is that my sister likes it too, and right now I can’t get her to come off my PS3!
