A big bunch of crap

There's bog all out at the moment that i actually want, it's so frigging boring...

Let's just go through the list:

Blacksite: Area 51: Woo, just what the world needs, ANOTHER generic shooter.

Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal: Load of wank.

Mass Effect: I would, but having a child i just don't have the time needed to devote to a game like this any more, it's one of those 100-hour games so bollocks to it.

Kane & Lynch: Saw a video review on Bravo the other day. They weren't impressed and they said that you'll just repeat most of the levels about 10 times for each one due to the amount you'll get killed and then have to restart the level only really completing it when you've worked out the pattern of all the baddies. Bit upset about this one as it looked really good.

Guitar Hero III: Doesn't interest me in the slightest, that novelty has passed, roll on Rock Band.

Need for Speed ProStreet: Christ, another sodding street racing game. How many do i need to play in one lifetime. Need for Speed: Most Wanted was the best one, everything else was shite.

Ace Combat 6: Not really that bothered about this. Dogfights always sound good in theory but in practice they just get boring and tedious very quickly. Never had one that i'd actually stick with for more than a few goes.

And you'll be annoyed to know that there's absolutely frig all coming out between now and Exmas that might possibly be good, there's a new soldier of fortune game out next week but whoopie doo, doesn't exactly fill me full of excitement like Skate did.

Ho hum, looks like it's back to being bored on Assassin's Creed or getting frustrated with Smackdown ladder matches until Xmas day.

A load of old honk

It must be me, it really must but I played Halo 3 for an hour on friday then turned it off to play Skate instead.

It's wank. It's so damn basic compared to other fps shooters out there. It may have cut the mustard back in the day but these days it's just toss. Where's the alternate fire? Where's the cool weapons? Where's the interesting levels? Even a double-jump would have been nice.

We've got some outstanding fps out now, Gears of War for example: big fuck-off beasts coming up from the ground, gorgeous gfx, intelligent team-mates, legging it to the next hiding place while you get cover from your team-mates.

There's none of that in Halo, it's just fps at it's most basic. Point, and shoot.

I know it's a game that people buy for its online play but seriously, unreal tournament is SOOOO much better than this tripe.

Ho hum, i'l probably persevere though and see if i can beat the single player campaign. It's summat to do isn't it?
