My favourite Facebook games
Facebook, the largest social networking site is not only for socializing or sharing pictures or whatever, you can also play games on there. Some that are totally crap and others that can be really addicting.
My favourite ones are the following:
1. Lexolous - Word Game - Basically, it's Scrabble and if you like Scrabble then you should defiantly try this out.
2. Farkle - Again, you'll instantly recognise this dice game if you've played Yahtzee but even if you haven't it's dead simple and anyone can play it.
3. Texas Hold 'em Poker - For anyone who likes to play poker, this game is simply brilliant whether you're a fan of poker or not, it's still great fun.
There are a tonne more of games that you can instantly play if you have a Facebook account, these are just the ones I play most of the time.

Crytek to Develop TimeSplitters 4 for the Next XBOX
Videogamer.com have revealed that Crytek is developing TimeSplitters 4 for the next Xbox. This means that Microsoft will most likely announce their next Xbox at E3 2012.
"Specifications for the new machine have not been finalised, but Crytek is using Microsoft's DirectX 11 as the current basis for next-generation development. Tessellation, multithreaded rendering, and compute shaders are the three headlining features for DirectX 11."
More info can be found here
Lets just hope it's true, not only for the next Xbox but for TimeSplitters 4 which is such an entertaining game, especially it's multiplayer. Me and I'm sure many others have got great memories of this game.

Favourite Parts of E3
This years E3 wasn't anything special, the WiiU didn't wow me and the conferences were quite boring. Luckily, we had games like Skyrim which made my jaw go through the floor and BF3 which didn't have the same effect but was still well worth the watch.
Skyrim, jaw droppingly brilliant, I think I must've watched the demo about 3 -4 times, it's that good. The dragons I think are the main talking point for this game and why not, they are the best dragons I've ever seen in a game and they look awesome. These are non-scripted free roaming creatures that can appear from nowhere. For example, during the demo gameplay, they were walking with these huge giants and mammoths then all of a sudden a dragon swoops down, picks up a giant and throws him across the field. What also impressed me about this game was duel wielding, you can now duel wield weapons and spells. Why this is good is because when duel wielding spells, it makes them much more powerful if used at the same time.
There's so much more to talk about with this game and this is just the tip of the iceberg, can't wait to see more and of course play. Definite day 1 buy!
Release date:
11.11.11

My Top 5 Favourite Ipod/Iphone Games.
Had my Ipod since January and really love it and has been used pretty much every day to the point where my phone now feels neglected. Since then I've played quite a few games on it, some good and some terrible. Here's my top 5 favourites:
1. Doodle Jump - Extremely addicting and hard to put down. The objective is to get as high as you can whilst trying to avoid things like aliens, UFO's and other things.
2. Angry Birds - Probably at the top of most top 5 games as it should be because it's extremely fun and can have you playing for a long time. The objective is knock down structures and crushing these green pig heads by hurtling birds at it.
3. Game Dev Story - This an awesome game where you have to manage your own game company by trying to create and sell games and consoles. Highly recommended!
4. Fruit Ninja - A very fun and addicting game where you use your finger to chop fruit that shoot up from the bottom of the screen. This game will have you playing for hours.
5.Fifa 11 - If you're looking for a good football then I'd recommend this one as it has simple controls and the graphics are amazing, all it needs now is multiplayer globally rather than locally.
There are loads more but these are probably the ones I enjoy and play the most.

My Dead Island Thoughts.
I'm a fan of zombie survival games as it's always fun to blow up or chop of a zombies head. Dead Island looks very promising right from the start with it's jaw dropping trailer which was probably the best I've seen.
Today we finally got to see some gameplay of it and it looks really good so far, especially after hearing that it will feature 4 player coop from start to finish which is a huge plus. It will also be out on all major platforms (PC, 360 and PS3) which is cool as I prefer playing games on the PC, I just hope it's going to be well optimized. Anyway, enough chatter and below is the gameplay video of Dead Island. Enjoy!

Crysis 2 Thoughts...
Recently completed Crysis 2 and I have to say it was quite amazing most of the time and frustrating during other times, I will give you a short list of pros and cons to do with Crysis 2.
Pros:
- Graphics - Probably the best I've seen, especially the lighting, detail of the maps and water.
- Variety of weapons - There is quite a few more weapons for you to use compared to the previous Crysis
- Story - One of the biggest let downs in the previous Crysis was it's story, I thought Crysis 2's story was well thought out.
- Customization - The ability to upgrade your suit to what best fits you is a great idea and it's all done in realtime.
- Gameplay - There's a real sense of freedom and you can approach any scenario and work out what you think will work best, stealthily or run in guns blazin' or you can use tactical advisor to help you choose.
- Graphics settings - Unlike the 1st Crysis where you had many different options for graphics, in Crysis 2 you get high, very high or extreme, that's it. Not even a setting for AA. Luckily, someone has made a program so you can tweak these individual settings here http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=33008
- Glitches - Every game has them and so does this one. 1st one I cam across was multiplayer, you log in, type the CD key and it says it's already in use. Seems like a lot of people have this same problem and the way to fix it is to login, go back to singleplayer and login again, worked for me. Another glitch I found cause me to crash where I brought the stealth enhance upgrade while cloaked.
- Physics - Don't get me wrong, physics in Crysis 2 are pretty amazing most of the time but sometimes you get real odd physics glitches, especially with ragdolls where they'll just freeze in mid-air or when they get stuck in something.
- Bloom! - Lot's of it and it can get really bright, not a bad problem but it can get extremely bright in some case.
My rating: 9/10
That's about it and overall Crysis 2 is a very good FPS which everyone should have a go at.

Battlefield 1943 and Bad Company 2: Onslaught canceled on PC
"Battlefield 1943 for PC is not going to happen. Posting on the official Battlefield blog, Karl Magnus Troedsson, general manager of DICE, confirmed that both 1943 and Onslaught, a co-op add-on for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, have been "officially canceled." He states that the team is focusing all energy on Battlefield 3 in order to make it "the best Battlefield game ever" and "the biggest launch in DICE's history." (Good luck getting into a game during the first three days!)
Battlefield 1943's delayed trek to PC had become hopeless in recent months, though company reps believed it was still set to deploy at some point when we followed up last summer. The downloadable experiment has been a resounding success on consoles, netting $16 million for Electronic Arts."
I suppose this could be a good thing if they're going to focus more on BF3 so in a way I'm not too upset about it.

Battlefield Beta Gameplay
As expected, this game is basically BF2 didn't really feel much different although there are quite a few changes like NO PRONE. Being a beta I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, even just downloading it the first time, it stopped downloading about 2/3'rds of the way. I still had fun in the short time I've played it so far.
Any questions about this game I will answer to the best of my knowledge or if you'd like more videos showcasing different aspects just let me know by commenting or sending an E-mail.

My CSS Map Progress
Decided I wanted to make a map for CSS and based it on the area I live in, it's not an exact representation but the houses, front and back gardens are pretty much the same as it is in real life.
The map is nowhere near done and has a lot of stuff that still needs to be added and finished such as the pub, houses, T spawn area and much much more...
I've done maps before but never released them, I will hopefully release this one and hope it's somewhat successful. So far I've recieved some positive feedback over at JTV where I am currently casting the map making. You can click the following link to go there, broadcast times are random.

In the future I might even convert this map into a L4d1/2 map.

The worst glitches I've came across in a game.
Every game has 'em but some are worse and far more common than others. If you're lucky, you might go through a whole play through without one, especially today's games that have a lot going on.
The first game I will mention is probably the worst or at least for me it was the worst, Saint's Row 1/2. Now it's not a game you really take seriously, it is a fun, blow the shit up type of game. The first glitch I came across in this game was the invisible car glitch, yes you heard it right, I was cruising along when all of a sudden my car stopped, I thought OK -hits the accelerate button- nothing, then it vanished! With just my character sitting there in a seating position mid-air like an idiot on drugs pretending to turn a steering wheel.
The next glitch I came across would impress superman, basically I jumped out of the tallest building and landed without dying.Hmmmmmm...... Another one which I started to use a lot, was the instant access into car from the hood glitch. I jumped on the front of the car, accidently hit the 'enter vehicle key' and wall-ah, I was in the car quicker than you can blink!
Now seeing all these glitches in the first one, you would've thought they'd at least sort even just a few out in the second, but nope they never. Oh and there is more in this game but I'll let you discover them.
The next game is FIFA which also hosts a couple of glitches, the weirdest one was in the arena in Fifa 09, after finishing a match, I returned to the main screen to switch game modes and when it does this it puts you straight into the arena, however, instead of giving me the outfield player to control, it gave me the keeper! I was like 'ermmm OK...this shouldn't happen' and not only that but the outfield player was being controlled by the AI taking shots.
1 more from the Fifa franchise and I think it was '09. In the arena again and the player I chose to control was Ronaldihno as he is the best player in the world. Well, Ronaldihno looked a little different, his face was all screwed up and he looked like the elephant man. Very Strange.
These glitches are just a few out of hundreds, maybe even thousands, some are acceptable but some are just annoying and can really spoil a game.
I will leave you this video done by The Angry Video Game Nerd about glitches.
Enjoy
