Hey guys, I thought I'd keep you posted as I'm going to be compiling a list of my favourite women in games. To clarify, favourite means characters that have amused, inspired, or impressed me, rather than write about a DOA Voleyball jug-a-thon.

To tell you the truth, its hard to make such a list since women are not very prominent in video games, but there are certain characters that have stood out from the scantily clad, bouncing sterotypes, and in the next few days I'll post it in the next blog.

You may not agree with my choices, but lets be fair, its MY choice, and so I expect you to respect my opinions, but primarily I hope to entertain you, since I believe the women I describe are original and fun to read about (and look at, if you really are into that).

Anyways, talk to you all soon, and be sure to check back in the next few days.

Peace

I got my repaired 360 a few days ago and I'm happy and impressed. It was a very simple procedure, didn't take too long, they repaired my dodgy disk tray free of charge, it sounds smoother than ever, and also got a 1 month free LIVE coupon. Very pleased.

Back to DMC4 then

Guess who got the 3 RROD on their 360? Thats right, me. I've had it for over a year now and up until now it played fantastically, and I have kept it in relatively good condition with plenty of ventilation (although it WAS vertical), then two days ago i came home from lectures to beat the bejeesus out of some demons in Devil May Cry 4 and i got the fuzzy red screen and the 3 red rings.

Its funny how you think that something bad only happens to other people, never you, but this wasn't the case for me, unfortunately. I called Xbox customer support, and despite the 15 minute wait before i talked to a human, the guy i spoke to (from Lima!) was really helpful and it only took around 15 minutes to confirm the problem, my email, and my address, and get him to send me a shipping label. I was anticipating spending an hour on the phone and getting genuinely pi**ed off, but it all went smoothly.

All I can say is, hooray for Peter Moore extending the 3 RROD warranty for 3 years, because my standard warranty finished around a month ago. Now all I have to do is send it and wait...and wait...and wait...

Hopefully I'll get it back in time for Gears 2

I just finished playing the demo and I can say I am very impressed. The fighting style and feel of the game has not changed drastically from the other titles, but it has been polished and looks stunning, especially the Berial fight. The only thing I'm not comfortable with is the controls, but that can be changed. Nero plays similar to Dante and is not as annoying as I once feared.

Download it if you want to try it out, it came today.

Enjoy

Here's a good video that a friend of mine made of the sharks of Crysis.

I take no credit for the video, I just thought you might enjoy seeing it, especially if you like FFVII music. I know I did.
