Call of Duty MW2 - Eerie after the update.


Well the update for the Xbox 360 version of Call of Duty MW2 finally hit our screens this week. It was warmly welcomed by myself and many many others who were tired of the constant glitching taking place from game to game.

The funny thing i had noticed after the update however was the eerie quietness in comparison to before. No more could we hear the constant sound of helicopters flying overhead, nor could we hear that grizzled Brit telling us that there was an enemy care package incoming for the gazillionth time in a match.

Its as if the glitch has left some sort of resonance in my mind, toying with me... I think... i... need the glitch back.... Heeellllppp!

Anyway, if you haven't heard through the grapevine about the update, then get on it my lovelies.

As the tumbleweed rolls on by...

I'm wondering if anyone, other than the five friends i have pestered relentlessly, has actually viewed my blog.

If you have, even in passing, please leave a message or some sort of feedback. It would be great to actually get this blog out there...

I will have a short review of Bioshock 2 up this week also. I've spent most of my time on this quality sequel.

The Joys of Sky Player on your 360.

I'm currently up late watching the Superbowl via the sky player. Being able to do things like this has highlighted to me the range of uses my 360 has developed over the years.

I was recently able to upgrade my sky account to allow sky player to function on my Xbox 360. The set up was easy and to be honest i've been impressed with it. I think they definately need a few more channels for the live tv side of it. For UK users how about Sky1?? But on the whole, i thought it was worth mentioning that the move with Sky was a good one.

Thinking into the future, will we maybe see the ability for the 360 to record live shows like a Sky Plus box?? Heres hoping...

No More Support for Original Xbox Games on Xbox Live.


As of the 15th April 2010, there will no longer be a service for original Xbox games on Xbox Live.

For some this may come as a bit of a shock, with a large percentage probably being the dedicated Halo 2 users. However i think that the fact Microsoft have spent the last few years still supporting an out of date console should be appreciated, regardless if it was still some form of income for them.

Also, if this news means that more improvements can be made to the 360 then i think the decision must have been made easier.

Lets see what this will bring us in the coming year...
